Edsel Charles
Edsel Charles is the founder and chairman of the board of directors for MarketGraphics Research Group, Inc.®, based in Franklin, Tennessee. Mr. Charles is a proud retired member of the United States Marine Corps. After eight years of duty, he was honorably discharged as an E-6 Staff Sergeant. His housing experience started early in his career while working as a concrete mason, then as a homebuilder and land developer. After starting his first home building company in Wisconsin, his efforts eventually led him to Ohio, Florida, and then to Tennessee where he ultimately played a key role in the development of numerous new home communities.
His background is foundational to his passion for this business. Years of experience and lessons learned have given Mr. Charles a comprehensive understanding of the industry that allows him to advise the diverse MarketGraphics clientele, which includes national, regional, and local builders; developers; banks; retailers; investors; suppliers; dealers and distributors; healthcare institutions; planners; utility companies; Realtors; appraisers; and city and national government offices.
Mr. Charles also has a seasoned background in real estate, holding his State of Tennessee Real Estate Brokers’ license since 1982. He is a member of the Williamson County Association of Realtors, with a Realtor designation, and is a member of the Graduate Realtor Institute.
Mr. Charles and MarketGraphics have been invited to bring their research and abilities to the table locally and nationally, participating in a review of the zoning and planning guidelines for Davidson County, Tennessee; preparing a comprehensive analysis of Maury County, Tennessee for the county’s mayors; builder and developer site-specific feasibility and marketing studies; as well as furnishing data to numerous Federal Reserve offices and the Congressional Budget Office in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Charles has held leadership positions in national and local homebuilders’ organizations throughout his career, including a longstanding post as a national life director since 1987 of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) board of directors. He is a past president of the Home Builders Association of Middle Tennessee, a former member of the NAHB’s Member Institute of Residential Marketing (MIRM), and trustee of the National Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC).
His reputation and expertise have led to numerous awards and honors, including the National Marketing Gold Award for best Parade or Showcase of Homes, multiple national marketing and top model homes awards from Professional Builder Magazine, Home Builders Association of Middle Tennessee Builder of the Year award, and other top development awards.
Mr. Charles has been asked to speak for various homebuilders associations across the country, frequently co-presenting with economists from the Federal Reserve Bank. He has been asked to present at several national meetings of the National Association of Home Builders, as well as many national builder conferences, state and local homebuilders associations, Realtor groups, building material/manufacturing/supplier organizations, banking groups, Realtor associations, city governments across the country, bankers’ associations, and investor groups. His reputation and experience have made him an expert witness for real estate cases across the nation.

Announcing the Gerald T. "Jerry" Drum Scholarship
It is an honor to be able to share with you all some memories of our dear friend, Jerry Drum who passed away in May of this year. Jerry, referred to by many as "Drum" , served on the HBA board for over 30 years. He was very passionate and involved in the promotion and development of our local Homebuilders Assoc. Jerry earned a degree in Civil Engineering in NC, moved to Clarksville in 1960 to work with J.A. Reece Company, where helater became President and Partner. Upon retirement, he joined First Federal Savings Bank as Assistant Vice President and Construction Loan Officer.
Jerry gave many builders their first construction loan. Offering advise and telling them they needed to join the home builders assoc. The leadership he gave helped these builders helped them to excel and be very profitable. Encouraging builders to come to local meetings, state meetings and even IBS. Jerry was "the Man". He had the bank sponsor several builders to IBS in Vegas and Orlando. Lots of stories were told by many builders.
After he retired from the bank he continued to serve by performing inspections for the bank. He was always in the know. Jerry was honored by our local for his service by receiving the 2001 HBA Assoc of the Year Award, 2014 Jackie Goad Hall of Fame Award, 2015 Home Builders Association Lifetime Member Award.
Jerry was a genuine and caring man who always had a smile, a hug, a hand shake or advice to share. You always knew how much he loved his family by the stories he shared. He was also a very intelligent and outgoing man who loved to lend a helping hand and share his knowledge and experience with others. He leaves a legacy to his family, friends and to this industry and he will never be forgotten. Photographed Karen Blick EO, Jerry's Granddaughter Blair Drum and Jerry's wonderful wife Margery.
We will name the local HBA Scholarship in his name. This is a $1,000 annual scholarship that is available to anyone who is getting a degree in the building industry. We hope to have our first recipient in the Spring.
