Our Story

Our passion is simple, and it's been our focus since 1956. We want to help people across America achieve the dream of homeownership. Clayton became part of Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway family of companies in 2003. Today we build, sell, finance and insure our homes from coast to coast.

We strive to be more than a place to work - where people have a sense of belonging, work-life balance, and a true career path.

Drive change.

We must set the standard. Advance technology and sustainability, and implement visionary practices in all we do.

Do good.

Be kind and collaborative. Promote equity, and be welcoming to everyone.
