Dale Bercher, President of Cobb-County based Bercher Homes and Accent Realty Group, has been elected to Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Dale has a 30-year career in the new home building industry. His father and grandfather both worked in construction and real estate, leading to his early attraction to the industry. His foray into construction began in high school while working for home builders in various capacities and cemented his passion for the industry and his decision to pursue a professional career as a home builder. Dale attended Louisiana State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management, while operating a successful remodeling company to pay for college.
Upon graduating in 1988, Dale started working at a Fortune 500 home builders corporation. During his 13-year career with this company, he held the positions of Warranty Supervisor, Builder, Construction Manager, and eventually Division President. In 2001, Dale left to accept the position of Chief Operating Officer with a large private Atlanta home-building company, where he enjoyed eight years of managing the company. Dale founded Bercher Homes in 2010.
Dale is also a graduate of Leadership Cobb Class of 2018 and has been an active and committed member of our board of directors. He and his wife Becky have been incredibly supportive of Habitat’s mission in recent years, including being the presenting sponsor of our annual fundraising concert, “Harmonies for Homes” for three years.
“We are so grateful for Dale and humble servant heart and leadership,” said Jessica Gill, CEO, Habitat for Humanity of NW Metro Atlanta. “His construction knowledge and willingness to serve continues to be an incredible asset to our organization.”
