Share

Recognition by Business Journal as a Top Family-Owned Business


HomeQuest, a leader in residential building in the western U.S., was recognized with the Business Journal 2023 Family-Owned Business award, according to the Orange County Business Journal (APRIL 29, 2024). This acknowledgment comes as the company contributes to alleviating the housing shortage in California through the provision of manufactured homes.


Borrego Springs' Roadrunner Golf & Country Club


HomeQuest is set to place manufactured homes in 50 spaces at Roadrunner Golf & Country Club in Borrego Springs, catering to residents 55 and older. The community offers world-class amenities, including a 24-hour heated saltwater pool, mineral bath, and an array of sports facilities such as shuffleboard, pickleball, and tennis courts. With homesite rents starting at $775 per month, Roadrunner Golf & Country Club provides a luxurious yet affordable living option for seniors. Additional conveniences include on-site storage for RVs, trailers, or boats available at monthly or annual rates.


Diverse Customer Base and Housing Options


From participants in Section 8 housing to buyers of luxury coastal retreats, HomeQuest's customer base is extensive. The company, founded in 1998 and now led by Shane Joffe, son of founder Jim Joffe, offers properties ranging in price from $79,000 to over $700,000. The family-driven leadership extends to Shane’s brother, Kyle, and Shane’s wife, Marina, who oversees sales. More details about HomeQuest can be found on their website.


Future Outlook and Impact on Borrego Springs


HomeQuest projects a sales increase of 25% to 50% by the end of 2024, signaling a growing demand for manufactured homes as an affordable housing solution. The company's expansion into Borrego Springs is particularly noteworthy, enhancing the availability of quality, low-cost housing in the region and contributing positively to the local economy.


HomeQuest's initiatives in Borrego Springs are part of a broader effort to improve access to affordable housing across California, benefiting a wide range of residents and supporting community development.
