A family legacy that began in 1948, Chathambilt Homes proudly announces its 75th anniversary. Started by Howard and Grace Chatham with sheer dedication and vision, the Chatham family has become the history and the future of Atlanta’s real estate landscape.
“To succeed in residential development, you need a strong foundation that can last through good times and bad,” says David Chatham, President of The Chatham Company. “We’ve built that through faith in God and an incredible group of staff associates, Realtors, builders and vendors.”
Howard and Grace Chatham built their first home in north Atlanta in 1948. They worked side-by-side in the evenings for seven months after finishing their day jobs. They dug the well by hand. They carved out the basement with a slip scoop and a mule. At night, they worked by the light of Ford headlamps.
When a passerby offered a high price for the house, Howard initially refused but later accepted on the condition that Grace and he could rent the basement while building another home on the adjacent lot. Before they moved into that second house, it also sold. Howard sold his family’s first home twice! In return, he got a business that would carry the Chathams into the future.
As they enter their 75th year, the Chatham family remains committed to their legacy – investing, selling, building or buying homes for their clients.
The Chatham Company business now spans three generations. Under the leadership of David Chatham, Howard’s son, and the involvement of David’s sons – Gabe, Myles and Lance – the Chatham Holdings Corporation has extended its reach to include every facet of real estate.
