History

Fischer Homes was founded in 1980 in Northern Kentucky by Henry and Elaine Fischer.[4] In its early years, the company focused on the Northern Kentucky and Greater Cincinnati area, building roughly 300 to 350 homes a year.[5] Greg Fischer serves as the Chairman of the company.[6]

The company is part of the Fischer Group, which also includes Grand Communities, Homestead Title, Victory Mortgage, and Acendion Collective.[7][8] Since its foundation, the company has built over 40,000 houses.[9]

Bob Hawksley joined the company in 1990s as a chief executive officer. During his tenure, between 2016 and 2022, annual home closings increased from about 350 to more than 3,000 across eight markets[6], while revenue rose from $637 million in 2018 to $1.5 billion by 2022.[5] In 2020, the company had a total revenue of around $829 million.[1]

In October 2022, Tim McMahon was promoted from president and chief operating officer to chief executive officer.[10] Hawksley became CEO Emeritus and retired in February 2023 after 28 years with the company.[10] At the same time, Jay Smith was promoted to president and chief operating officer.[5]

During the 2020s, Fischer Homes expanded into several new markets, including Georgia, Florida, and North Carolina.[11][12][13][14] In December 2023, the company entered the Florida market through the acquisition of Samuel Taylor Homes, a Panama City Beach based builder founded in 2011.[15]

In December 2023, Fischer Homes partnered with Snap One’s Clare Controls and Guardian Alarm to offer smart home security systems in new homes.[16]

In May 2025, Fischer Homes announced plans to relocate its corporate headquarters from Erlanger to Covington, Kentucky.[7][17] The relocation is expected to be completed by 2027.[18]

Philanthropy

Fischer Homes has supported St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through the St. Jude Dream Home Giveaway program for many years.[19] The company has built 35 Dream Homes and raised more than $34 million for the hospital's mission as of 2025.[19]

In 2022, Fischer Homes built and give away three St. Jude Dream Homes in a single year and received the Dr. Donald Mack Lifetime Achievement Award from St. Jude in 2024.[20][21]

The company also contributed to community amenities including the Pampers Nursing Suite at Great American Ballpark for the Cincinnati Reds in 2015,[22] the Family Care Center at Kings Island in 2016,[23] and the Welcome Home exhibit at the Cincinnati Children’s Museum in 2025.[24]
