About the Opportunity

Ambassador Group completed this search for a founder-led, boutique residential builder in the Los Angeles region. The firm builds high-end custom single-family homes, from ground-up projects to complex remodels between 3,000 and 10,000 square feet, and works closely with architects, designers, and engineers.
