Another owner of American Housing is Ralph “Lee” Kretzer. Lee was raised in the Manatee and Pinellas County areas. Lee has been in the construction industry and real estate business all of his life, and plays an active role in the designing of our homes. Lee heads the sales division of American Housing.

Finally, there is Stuart Cohen. Stuart moved here from Detroit in 1974 and has been very active in the real estate industry since arriving.
