Hubbell History

Continuing on a Tradition of Excellence

150 Years of Excellence Hubbell Realty CompanyIt was over 150 years ago that 16-year-old Frederick M. Hubbell arrived in the little town of Fort Des Moines, Iowa, with a keen eye for business and a knack for giving customers exceptional service. By 1856, he had executed his first real estate transaction. By the time of his death in 1930, he had founded a landmark insurance company (The Equitable of Iowa); established flourishing ventures in railroads and public utilities; and become one of the most successful real estate investors in the state’s history. That incredible entrepreneurial spirit and dedication to customer satisfaction served as the foundation for the Hubbell family of companies. Today, five generations later, that spirit, that commitment, lives on at Hubbell Homes. The same principles that guided F.M. Hubbell are the keystones of our business today. Every member of our team has a passion for better homebuilding – which means we’re devoted to making every step of the buying and building process easier, and more efficient, for you. We pride ourselves on superior craftsmanship, evident in every home, every detail, as well as a meticulous attention to detail that ensures your home is exactly the way you always dreamed it would be. We work with considerable speed and accuracy, so that your home is delivered on time and on budget. And finally, we strive to make the home building experience fun – to give you wonderful memories of your home, starting from the day you first walk into our office.

Sincerely,
James W. Hubbell III
