At Smith Family Homes, we believe a home is more than a floor plan or an address. It’s where families grow, memories are made, and communities come to life. The McCormick family’s homeowner journey is a perfect example of why being a local, family-owned homebuilder in Georgia and South Carolina matters so much.

When the McCormicks began their home search, they knew exactly what they didn’t want. “We started looking at homes specifically in Statesboro, because we lived in Vidalia, Georgia,” they shared. Like many buyers exploring previously occupied homes, they found that “every house that we looked at that had been previously occupied just wasn’t what we wanted. There was always something that we would have to do that just wasn’t fitting in our budget.”

That’s when their realtor introduced them to new construction in Statesboro, and everything changed.

Finding the Right Floor Plan (and the Right Fit)

From the moment they stepped into their Smith Family Homes floor plan, the McCormicks knew they had found something special. “When our realtor brought us to the new construction from Smith Family, it just ended up being a perfect floor plan for us—exactly what we were looking for,” they said.

As a trusted builder of new homes in Statesboro, Savannah, Richmond Hill, Brunswick, St. Marys, Bluffton and more, Smith Family Homes focuses on layouts designed for real life that are open, functional, and welcoming. For the McCormicks, the opportunity to personalize their home made all the difference. “Being able to customize and do whatever we wanted to the house, to make it our own,” was a major highlight of their experience.

A Smooth, Supportive Building Experience

Building a new home can feel overwhelming, but the McCormicks describe their experience as anything but. “The communication was just amazing. It was such a quick process to build with Smith Family Homes. There were never any questions unanswered. We always knew what was going on.”

That level of communication is intentional. As a local homebuilder, Smith Family Homes is deeply involved in every community we build; not from a corporate office miles away, but right alongside the families we serve.

Watching their home come together was especially meaningful. “Being able to see the house come to life from the ground up was just an amazing process,” they shared, even laughing about how Pinterest played a role in their design inspiration.

When Community Becomes Family

What truly sets Smith Family Homes apart from national builders is the way we invest in the neighborhoods we create. For the McCormick family, that commitment became deeply personal.

“Smith Family Homes really focuses on how important family is in the community,” they explained. When a neighborhood park was named after their son, (the first child to live in the community), it became a moment they’ll never forget. “Seeing his name over at the park is just going to be exciting. He was so excited when he saw the sign.”

That’s what it means to live where you build; creating communities where families feel seen, valued, and connected.

A Place to Grow, Together

Today, the McCormicks are looking forward to growing alongside their neighbors. “We’re so happy with our new home and excited to grow with our family in the space that we’ve built and made our own,” they said. “We can’t wait to see more families moving in and be a part of that community.”

Whether you’re searching for a new home in Savannah, Statesboro, Richmond Hill, Brunswick, St. Marys, Bluffton or Kingsland, Smith Family Homes is here to help you build more than a house — we’re here to help you find home.
