MEET THE OWNER: JORDAN STRADER


Jordan Strader's passion for hands-on work began early in life. At just 16, he started a lawn care business that flourished for nearly a decade. Along the way, he delved into construction and real estate, fully committing to these fields by 2009. By 2012, Jordan had become adept at full-scale home rehabilitations, successfully flipping over 500 homes. His exceptional real estate acumen quickly made him the top agent in his brokerage and one of the leading agents in the city. Today, while Jordan continues to be involved in real estate, his primary focus is on steering his thriving container homes, Blue Haven Homes, to new heights.
