American Legend Homes is part of Bright & Company, a 60 year old family-owned Dallas organization with well diversified interests in real estate, banking, oil and gas exploration and other business interests. Having firmly planted roots provides their organizations the strength to grow for the next 60 years and provides customers the peace of mind knowing that they will be here for the long term. The Bright family formed American Legend Homes in 2003 after approximately 10 years of research and evaluation. The family(tm)s goal was to fulfill the demand for striking architectural features, flexible floorplans and customized options. Naturally, owning a homebuilding company is complementary to its other existing real estate and banking operations which include: single-family lot development, master-planned community development, townhome construction, commercial development, plus billions of dollars worth of real estate lending. Your Family Builder (tm)We have the ability to provide outstanding customer service, focused warranty follow-up, and an emphasis on quality-built homes because of the personal involvement by family members in the overall organization,(tm) said Chris Bright, CEO.

Since its first new home closing in 2004, American Legend Homes has closed over 850 homes in the DFW area. The company was named Best Builder in 2005 by the Texas Association of Homebuilders.
