Wrapping up 2015
Jan 07, 2016

We have continued growing, both in number of employees and number of families that we serve. Take a look back at some highlights of 2015.

By the Numbers

2 New Communities Opened
1 Community began Construction (The Woodlands Villas is coming soon!)
106 Closings (That’s a 203% increase from 2013!)
14 New Lamar Smith Employees

Highlights

New Communities
Our 2015 communities are thriving! Savannah Highlands was opened early in the year and has only one remaining home available. Settlers Hammock was opened this fall in St Marys, and already has 20% of available homesites under contract or sold. We’re also excited for the Woodlands Villas at Southbridge, which started construction in 2015. Its highly anticipated release will come in early 2016!

New Elevations
Our craftsman elevations rolled out in 2015 and have been extremely popular. They’re a great way to add style and character to your home, while still maintaining an affordable price point. Visit lamarsmithsignature.com/floorplans to see renderings and photos of all of our elevations and floorplans.

Operation Hero House
In 2014 we founded the non-profit Operation Hero House in order to make coming home a little easier for wounded veterans. In early 2015, our first OHH recipients were presented with a mortgage-free home in Teal Lake. We’re honored to be afforded the opportunity to serve someone who has sacrificed so much for our country. For more information about the project, visit operationherohouse.com

Closings and New Homeowners
We hit some major milestones this year! We reached our 350th closing since our company began. We also closed our 100th home in December; this is the first time that we have hit triple digits in a single year. That’s a lot of new homeowners in the Lamar Smith family, and we’re happy to have them!

Looking forward to 2016, we’re excited for new opportunities and ready to keep growing. We’ve got a new website, new floorplans, and new communities in the works for 2016, so make sure you visit lamarsmithhomes.com to stay up-to-date

Increase Efficiency by Lowering your Home's HERS Score

25 Feb, 2019
Every day we all strive to be efficient. At our jobs, with our personal relationships, through our hobbies and with our families, efficiency is key. What if we told you that your home was shockingly inefficient? At Lamar Smith Signature Homes, we can tell you with absolute certainty that energy efficiency is a top priority in the homes we build. In fact, our new homes have some of the best energy ratings on today’s market. According to the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) and the U.S. Department of Energy, the average resale home on today’s marketplace scores a 130 , which is about double the average HERS score in a new Lamar Smith Signature Home. The lower the HERS rating, the lower your power bill.
