Our Approach

Education and Awareness: The Power of Employee Ownership

At American Dream Home Services, we’re committed to demonstrating how employee ownership can transform businesses and communities. By selling to an Employee Owned platform, business owners don’t just unlock a unique exit strategy; they set the stage for sustainable success that benefits everyone involved.

Enhanced Company Performance
Research shows that increased employee engagement from employee-ownership drives 8.5% higher profit margins than peers, and sales and employment grow 2% faster per year. When employees have a stake in the business, they’re more engaged, motivated, and committed to the success of the company. This translates to exceptional service and higher performance standards, fostering a culture of pride and accountability.

Positive Community Impact
Employee ownership doesn’t only impact the company—it extends to the communities these businesses serve. ESOPs create stable, quality jobs and provide employees with an opportunity to build wealth, thereby supporting local economies and promoting financial security. Through employee ownership, ADHS is building a network of businesses that prioritize community impact, strengthening the areas where we live and work.

A Lasting Legacy
For business owners, transitioning to employee ownership with ADHS allows them to leave a legacy that resonates beyond financial value. They can rest assured that their hard work, values, and culture will continue to thrive within a structure that benefits employees, the company, and the broader community.

Fuel the Soul of Your Business

We go beyond simply structuring a seamless transition into an Employee Owned platform. We prioritize understanding the owner's personal vision and values for their business. ADHS believes that a successful transition is not just about retirement or financial gain, but about preserving the company's legacy and culture and empowering employees. ADHS starts by carefully listening to the owner's story, their aspirations, and their concerns, to uncover the heart and soul of their business. They help owners identify their core values and long-term vision, ensuring their transition plan aligns with ADHS's mission and core values. This heart-centered approach is coupled with a structured process guided by experienced advisors. By combining process with an understanding of the owner's heart and values, ADHS creates a transition that is both strategically sound and personally meaningful.

Why do we take this approach? Our founders learned the good, bad and the ugly of the business world. They realized, for example, that while private equity firms can deliver financial returns, they often do so at the expense of a company’s culture and employees. They saw how companies strayed from their core vision and values in the unrelenting pursuit of wealth. And, importantly, they wanted to change that system.
