Our Story
Years later, we’ve built a family and a business we’re proud of. Together, we build more than 100 homes each year. We go above and beyond in our homes and service because we’re not some big builder – we’re a family who lives here, too.
Real estate gives us a unique opportunity to make an impact in the community we call home. We’re proud to improve neighborhoods and lives in the process.

Terry Thayer - Read My Bio
My name is Terry Thayer and I moved to Raleigh, North Carolina in 1995 from Rochester, New York. I came here to explore opportunities for a better life. I grew up in New York as a carpenter and worked for my father, but I always had a passion to be an entrepreneur. I wanted to put myself on the map, so I wasn’t living in the shadow of my dad.
I began my first entrepreneurial step as a subcontractor who worked installing siding for houses and also performing general carpentry. I soon wanted to be in the role of the builder rather than working for builders.
In 2002 I broadened my work, going into business with a partner. We flipped houses, sometimes adding square footage or even doing tear down new builds. I’ve continued doing this for years, now with my wife.
Today, my wife Kristi and I own several businesses including new home construction, Thayer Homes. I am a licensed General Contractor in the state of North Carolina. We also wholesale properties and will occasionally flip and develop land on a small scale.
My wife and I are proud of our business ventures. We are especially proud that with a percentage of each of our company’s profits we support a selected charity or foundation. We are honored to support Habitat for Humanity and International Network of Hearts as our chosen charities to benefit from our businesses’ successes.
We are able to live a lifestyle in a way we designed. Kristi and I are truly living an entrepreneur life and are able to travel with the freedom and spending much more time with our children.
We would love for you to become part of the ever growing Thayer Homes family!
