CELEBRATING LIONSCOVE’S PARTNERSHIP WITH MSR COMMUNITIES Crafting Dreams, One Home at a Time
Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of meeting and working with some of the most experienced and well-respected Seattle area. Over time, we’ve developed vital relationships that have allowed our companies to grow and reach new heights. This past year, we partnered with builders and construction companies in the Greater MSR Communities to work on projects in Bothell and Lynwood, and the experience has been rewarding for everyone involved. MSR Communities is redefining homebuilding with exceptional customer service, extensive industry knowledge, and a commitment to giving back. It was
house is a dream for many, and we wanted to make this experience a memorable one for the homebuyer. At MSR Communities, we are committed to building on our vision of ‘a home for every dream,’” explains Damodar. Over the next few years, MSR would solidify itself as a major player in the home building industry. This past August, Inc. 5000 named the company the fastest- growing, privately-held construction company in Washington and the twelfth fastest-growing, privately-held company across industries in the state. However, MSR Communities is just getting started. Additionally, MSR Communities donates 50% of profits to MSR Foundations. “Each homeowner knows their dream home is helping fulfill another dream. Through the efforts of the MSR Foundation, we can all help to build a happier tomorrow for everyone,” says Siva.

born from a friendship forged in university, nurtured over two
decades, and ignited by a shared vision. In 2017, a group of five friends united to enrich homebuyers’ lives with dependable real estate services. Thus, they created MSR Communities, LLC, a homebuilding company headquartered in Bothell, Washington. Thanks to the leadership provided by the founding team of Devi, Siva, Srinivas, Damodar, Nethaji, and Krishna, MSR’s success has unfolded quickly. “We have continued to grow a rich and diverse portfolio of high-quality properties and services to serve homebuyers with lives worth living,” explains Damodar. “Owning a

Acres of Diamonds Provides New Beginnings for Families in Need Breaking the Cycle
Our children are our future. That’s an idea that most parents can identify with as we work diligently
In 1995, Pearl Tadema recognized the growing homelessness crisis and
raised funds to buy and furnish a home in Duvall. She invited homeless moms and kids from the community to move into the house and provided them with everything they would need to improve their lives and escape their current situations. As a Christian organization that is biblically driven, Acres of Diamonds has provided counseling, parenting advice, financial support, and community to mothers and children for nearly 30 years. In addition to the support systems in place for mothers, there are also children’s programs to help kids develop into responsible young adults. They receive supplemental academic support, relational and emotional training, and intentional mentoring. Acres of Diamonds aims to decrease the symptoms of trauma and help kids become the best versions of themselves. LIONSCOVE stands firmly behind Acres of Diamonds’ efforts. Liam and his wife Rachel regularly volunteer with the kids program, and the LIONSCOVE team recently participated in Acres of Diamonds’ volunteer day by supporting their Olympic-themed summer camp. LIONSCOVE is sponsoring the annual gala at the end of September, and those of you based in Washington have been invited to join us. Please let us know if you want to learn more about Acres of Diamonds or get involved. It is a great cause that we can all rally around to help those in need in our community!
to provide our kids with the tools, skills, and knowledge to find success in the future and make the world a better place for all. However, many children in our community do not get the same opportunities as others due to a financial or housing situation that is completely out of their control. Often, the mothers of these kids are in difficult situations themselves and cannot provide the essentials for their children. Acres of Diamonds is committed to helping mothers and children in Washington break free from the cycle and harm of homelessness.

Set aside. 3. In a mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin puree, plant milk, maple syrup, and vanilla. Add in the cranberries. 4.

HOW WES MYERS IS ENERGIZING LIONSCOVE’S BOARD AND VISION
Experience is a valuable commodity when it comes to building a successful business. Without people who have previously experienced the trials and tribulations of your industry, you’re bound to hit a wall whenever an obstacle arises. However, this isn’t something we have to worry about at LIONSCOVE. Our dedicated board of advisors has decades of experience across industries and can provide invaluable advice when needed. Wes Myers is one member of our board who uses his knowledge and experience to help keep us moving in the right direction. Wes is from California and currently resides there with his wife, Jocelyn, and their three children. He graduated from UC Berkeley with a degree in legal studies before working for a boutique residential development firm. It was there he discovered his passion for land use and construction. He started his own real estate business in 2012 alongside his wife. The couple focuses on everything from farming and ranching to apartments and new construction. However, the heart of their business is property management. With vast equity and property management experience, inviting Wes to join our board of advisors was a no-brainer. Wes was thrilled to join the team and tackle the regulatory hurdles and complex market forces often affecting the hard- money lending industry. He states, “It is easy to make money if one side loses. Traditionally, the hard-money industry has been composed of its losers and its winners. This model has never been sustainable. However, LIONSCOVE actually allows and incentivizes win-win outcomes.” As LIONSCOVE continues to grow, Wes hopes to provide stability for all involved and help the company reach new heights. Although Wes is involved in many projects, he also maintains a fulfilling personal life. He loves to ride horses and fly airplanes, as both require discipline and challenge. He makes an effort to live a true Western lifestyle, appreciating all the freedoms it represents. Through Wes’ efforts, problem-solving skills, and vast experience, we know he will help LIONSCOVE maintain its position in the industry for years to come.

Damodar states, “Similar to LIONSCOVE, we started MSR with a focus on improving communities, and we started this business with a close group of friends and
family. We are looking forward to the continued partnership growth as both our companies expand.” MSR Communities is preparing to take the next step to ensure continued growth well into the future. It plans to go national and start focusing on markets outside of Washington. We hope to partner with them to create mutually beneficial opportunities in new markets like the Dallas area. “Ultimately what drives us is the moment after delivering the home and seeing the joy on the owner’s face,” states Nethaji. We’re so glad to have opportunities to partner with MSR Communities on their projects and can’t wait to see how our relationship will develop over the next few years!
