Our People

Meet The Conner Team

Building a Conner home requires a dedicated team of professionals. Together, we have created an impressive portfolio of over 6,000 homes throughout the Pacific Northwest. Each home we build has the same attention to detail: extensive pre-planning, careful vendor and material selection, meticulous field supervision, and superior customer care.
