Honest Abe’s Dealer Recruiter, Ronnie Wilson, and Dealer Manager, David Everitt, are very supportive of our independent dealers. We’re looking to grow the dealership network this year to meet the demand for professionals who can help customers who want an Honest Abe log or timber frame home.

Honest Abe Independent Dealership Opportunities Offered Across U.S.

Honest Abe offers dealership opportunities to ensure that customers across the country are served. In addition to Honest Abe’s company-owned sales models in Tennessee, Honest Abe Log Home and Timber Frame Home packages and products are sold through independent dealerships throughout the United States.

“All of our independent dealer businesses receive support from our corporate office,” said Ronnie Wilson, Dealer Recruiter at Honest Abe. “What sets us apart is that the independent dealer businesses are as much a part of our family as anyone in our models or corporate office.”

With a very attractive wholesale cost program to these businesses, Wilson said it’s easy to see why the independent dealership program continues to grow each year.

“This is a great business opportunity,” said David Everitt, Honest Abe Dealer Manager. “Any individual with the vision will immediately recognize the benefit of carrying the line of products offered by Honest Abe Log Homes.”

Everitt said these completely independent dealer-owned businesses are supported in their business efforts by a strong company that backs them up with a national advertising program and supplies excellent home packages to their customers.

“Quality and value are strong elements in the Honest Abe experience,” Wilson added.

Using only top-notch materials and a manufacturing process honed since 1979, Honest Abe gives builders the edge they need in a competitive custom home market.

Builders and log home enthusiasts wanting to get into another business or even people living in a log home and looking for a business opportunity, are encouraged to call. For additional information, call 800-231-3695 or inquire below.

Independent dealerships play an integral role in the stability and success of Honest Abe. Dealers provide guidance and support throughout the process of designing and building the log or timber home that the homeowner has only visualized.

Why become a log home Dealer?

Log home Dealers have a variety of reasons they’ve entered the business. Among them are:

  • love of log and timber frame homes coupled with a desire to share that love with others
  • already a builder and wants to add log and timber frame homes to current offerings
  • built a home for personal use and believed they could sell to others
  • works in the real estate industry and sees need for Dealership in area
  • lives in region especially conducive to log home sales (lake, mountains, etc.) and wants to capitalize
  • wants to own their own business and make money!

You might be a future Dealer if one or more of these reasons makes you think, “That’s me!”

However, with a number of log and timber frame companies out there, you may be wondering, “Why should I become an Honest Abe Independent Dealer? Actually, there are many reasons our Independent Dealers have chosen to become part of the Honest Abe team. They tell us that with Honest Abe, they feel part of a family. They’re extremely proud to represent our products, knowing finding security in the quality of the materials and the stability of the company. It’s no secret that they like the incentives and opportunities for awards and trips. Who wouldn’t like the chance for cruises and cash prizes based on sales performance?

But our network of Dealers, some of whom have been with us for more than three decades, all appreciate the professional support they receive from all our departments – from sales and marketing in attracting potential clients and from design, manufacturing and delivery in servicing  customers.

When you join our Dealer Network, we understand you expect to operate a successful, lucrative business by selling log and timber frame homes and structures. We are continuously improving the ways we can make sure you achieve that goal. Contact us to learn more.
