John Young - CFO/Secretary
As a founding partner in Rancho Cucamonga-based Young Homes, John R. Young has been an active participant in this highly successful Southern California homebuilding company for nearly 20 years. The company has been responsible for the development of nearly 3,500 homes in communities throughout the Inland Empire and is one of the region’s largest homebuilders.
At the beginning, the Young Homes vision was to provide entry-level homes that would make the dream of homeownership attainable for young families and other first-time buyers. Although the vision has expanded over the years to include higher-end properties, the company's heart remains with the dreams of first-time buyers.
Young's experience in real estate extends over nearly 30 years. His early years were spent as a successful sales representative and real estate broker focusing on single-family homes. He later purchased and operated a residential mortgage company, specializing in FHA and VA loans, as well as conventional loans. The expertise he built in sales and finance has proven to be a major asset to the steady growth of family-owned Young Homes.
He has served CBIA as Chair of the Member Services and Public Affairs committees and was the 2007 president of the Building Industry Association of Southern California and also served as BIA/SC’s interim president for most of 2006. He previously was president of BIA/SC’s Baldy View Chapter and president of HomeAid Inland Empire. Young is also active in NAHB.
