The Opportunity
Evermore Homes was established in 2017 to capitalize on long-term housing demand by acquiring and integrating high-quality private homebuilders across the Southeast and Southwest. As the company expanded, leadership evaluated strategic alternatives to secure the capital and resources needed to continue executing its growth strategy. The objective was to identify a partner that could build on Evermore's operational platform while delivering liquidity to shareholders and opportunities for employees.
Zelman's Role
Zelman initially advised Evermore on strategic and capitalization alternatives, including a private equity capital raise, before being engaged as Exclusive Sell-Side Financial Advisor to lead a company sale process. The team analyzed valuation, prepared and marketed transaction materials, managed buyer outreach and due diligence, negotiated a complex transaction structure that included third-party land banking arrangements, and guided the transaction through closing. Throughout the process, Zelman worked closely with Evermore's leadership to identify a buyer that aligned with the company's long-term vision and growth objectives.
The Outcome
Davidson Homes successfully acquired Evermore Homes, expanding its presence across the Southeast while establishing an immediate foothold in Arizona. The transaction provided liquidity to Evermore's shareholders, created opportunities for employees, and positioned the business for continued growth under a well-capitalized strategic owner. For Davidson Homes, the acquisition accelerated its national expansion strategy while adding an experienced team, established operations, and a strong pipeline of communities in key growth markets.
