3 Stonegate Accelerates Falcon Homes Growth Schmidt formed Falcon Homes in In 1990, the company was presented with an opportunity by Larry Huddleson of Huddleson Land Company to develop a 665 lot community in Stonegate with multiple products. Capital was provided by Mobil Oil through a credit guaranty of $8 Million. With this opportunity, the company quickly developed a more sophisticated approach to advertising. In addition to focusing on the product itself and its features, the company commenced a campaign that would enhance name awareness and generate emotional excitement through the campaign entitled "What is a Home?" The campaign was well orchestrated by Miles Advertising and featured print advertising in newspapers and magazines supported by radio ads on popular radio stations in Denver. The ads were well received and traffic volume through the companies models increased substantially. Cookie Boy What is a Home?

When you were growing up, you didn't care if your home was small or if the curtains were old or that you had to share a room with your brother and your guinea pig because they both smelled the same. The important things about home were "sneaking in bed with mom and dad" and eating dinner together every night. And isn't it funny that these same things still come to your mind as you search for the home of your dreams.
