Jeff brings a unique approach and perspective to home building. Having spent ten years in corporate settings, managing people and products in small start up companies and Fortune 500 companies, Jeff understands the importance of building businesses with an intense focus on the customer. “Understanding people’s needs, and being able to translate those needs into a finished product is at the heart of any company’s ultimate success”, says Jeff. “My background in product and service-based companies has given me the training to approach home building with the customer as the focus, not the home. The level of satisfaction with any new house is directly related to the amount of time you spend listening to your customers at every step of the building process and beyond.”

In 2001, Jeff and his family moved from New York City to North Carolina to take on a new challenge – home building. Before starting Grau Building Company, he worked in land development, building communities now filled with customers whom he considers among his friends. According to Jeff, “in real estate the old adage is location, location, location”. In home building it’s communication, communication, communication.”

Jeff is a licensed General Contractor, a licensed Real Estate Broker, and a member of the National Association of Home Builders and National Association of Realtors.

Jeff holds an M.B.A. from Georgia State University and a B.S. in Finance from Lehigh University. He currently resides in Chapel Hill with his wife Amy and their two daughters.
