In Remembrance of Don Belman
President of Don Belman Homes
Don was a Builder, Broker, Realtor, and Land Developer. He founded Don Belman Homes, Inc based on the highest level of construction quality and satisfaction in 1971.
Don was proud to be a Waukesha home builder for over 43 years Don and was past President of the Metropolitan Builders Association and 1996 Builder of the Year.
Don was recently inducted into the MBA Hall of Fame in 2014. The funniest thing Don has ever seen in this business was when a skunk moved into the basement of a new construction home. A contractor found it, got scared and laid a plank escape and crawled out of the window so he would not get sprayed! The skunk then later used the same method to escape.
Don said if he could do one thing in life, and not fail, he would build the Empire State Building.
Don enjoyed fishing in Canada, watching the History and Weather channel, and gambling. Don Belman was a licensed Realtor’. Real Estate Broker. NAHB member. Spike Member, Past Metropolitan Builders Association President (MBA),MBA Builder of the Year.
Don had served on countless councils such as a City of Waukesha Housing study, public storm water study, Metropolitan Builders Association Arbitration, and many more.
Rest in peace, Don. You will be missed by many.
