​Dale Bercher

President

Dale Bercher, President of Bercher Homes and Accent Realty Group, has a 35-year career in the new home building industry. Dale’s father and grandfather both worked in the construction and real estate industry, leading to his early attraction to the new home-building industry. His foray into the construction industry began in high school while working for home builders in various capacities; cementing his passion for the industry and his decision to pursue a professional career as a home builder. Dale attended Louisiana State University where he earned his Bachelor of Science Degree in Construction Management. While attending LSU, he owned and operated a successful remodeling company, which provided the means to attend college.

​Upon graduating in 1988, Dale started working at a Fortune 500 Company, which was one of the country’s largest home builders. During his 13-year career with this company, he held the positions of Warranty Supervisor, Builder, Construction Manager, and eventually Division President. In 2001, Dale left to accept the position of Chief Operating Officer with a large private Atlanta home-building company, where he enjoyed eight years of managing the company. In 2010, Dale amicably departed from the company to start Bercher Homes. He is a graduate of Leadership Cobb Class of 2018 and currently sits on the Board of Directors for Northwest Metro Atlanta Habitat for Humanity.
