Grant & Co. Builders · Realtors is a family owned and operated company that has been building homes in the Mid-South for 74 years now. Grant & Co is now building new homes in 13 communities throughout the Mid-South including neighborhoods in Olive Branch and right here in Hernando. The Hernando community, Crossroads, was opened in 2019 and is located off of Highway 51 just north of the Square. Martha Fondren, the Director of Sales and Marketing at Grant & Co, is a long-time resident of Hernando and was a big influence in getting Crossroads started. “I’ve lived in Hernando for over 25 years. I know this town and I know what a great place it is. It’s growing like a crazy and I knew Grant & Co. needed to have a presence here.” Martha moved from Senatobia to Hernando to take a job after college with the DeSoto Tribune as News Editor. After leaving the paper, she started her marketing career at Hernando Bank with Steve Ballard. Jon Reeves was on the bank’s Board of Directors and she went to work with Reeves Williams Builders as marketing director. She spent 18 years with Reeves Williams developing and learning not only marketing skills but also sales management. She’s now been with Grant & Co for 12 years as the Director of Sales & Marketing. Martha is also a big advocate for the Chamber of Commerce and recommends businesses join for referrals, networking, and brainstorming with other companies to get ideas about marketing and promotion “At Grant & Co, we love to build homes for families who are looking for more space to grow, first time home buyers and for empty nesters who are looking for less home to maintain. We also love to partner with other Realtors to help them find their clients the perfect home. Plus, anyone who is relocating to Hernando and needs help in moving to our city.” For more information about Grant & Co. Builders • Realtors or the Crossroads community, go to grantnewhomes.com.
