Ed McMurtry
Owner
  
35 years ago I made the life-altering decision to enter the homebuilding business. I literally started from the ground up – digging the footings. Within 10 years I had risen to Vice President of Operations/Construction of a growing homebuilding company. Diverse and intense training gave me the confidence to seize an opportunity to open my own company. Now, all these years later, I bring to my clients knowledge that is job-learned, not just something I saw in a book.

Westin Homes opened for business in October, 1999. Doing what I love every day is a dream come true for me. My ultimate joy is providing one-of-a-kind homes for some very special people: our homeowners!

I’ve made sure that Westin Homes is not your typical home builder in some very important ways. I call it the Westin Difference: We don’t pressure you. We work to build just what you want, and we want the experience to be enjoyable. The Westin difference will make the experience so enjoyable that you’ll recommend us to your friends. Anything less is unacceptable to me and everyone in my company.

Building a home is a lot like putting together a jigsaw puzzle. Thousands of different materials must join together perfectly, otherwise you have a poorly built home. Here at Westin Homes, we pride ourselves on doing everything the right way every time.
We stand behind every new home we build because our name is on every home.

Thank you for learning about Westin Homes. If there is anything that I can personally do to help you during your home buying/building journey, please feel free to contact me at Ed@westinhomes.com

I have an absolutely fantastic job here at Westin Homes. I have the best of both worlds because I assist Diana Odom with day to day office work, and occasionally cooridinate and host open houses.  I especially enjoy showing the beauty and quality of the homes we build.  I know that everyone in our Westin Homes family will work together to bring you the best possible new home buying experience.

For the past 25 years I have had the pleasure of helping families design and build their dream homes. I got my start in Montana, building homes on the beautiful lakes and rivers of the Northwest. I specialized in Log and Native Stone Homes of distinction, and have had Numerous homes featured in national magazines like Log Home Living and Timber Frames Illustrated. I joined the Westin Team in 2010 and am enjoying getting acquainted with the History Rich Mid South, and proud to be building beautiful Westin homes in Northern Mississippi and Tennessee. I look forward to working with you to create a very personal home that reflects your tastes and lifestyle. With our Easy Build Program you will love how we take the hassle out of the building experience. To be able to walk through your home at every stage and enjoy seeing your home spring up out of the ground is so exciting.

"I love the smell of fresh cut lumber in the morning!" And so will you! I look forward to meeting you and assisting you in in the exciting process of creating your dream home.

Cheri Williams
Sales Consultant
North Mississippi

When we first moved to MS, we visited a Westin model home in 2008 and knew right then that some day, we would own a Westin Home. That reality is coming true and my enthusiasm for the outstanding craftsmanship in a Westin Home led to being offered a job as a sales consultant! After 6 years in real estate in 3 states, I’ve worked with many builders and many clients and have come to understand what buyers truly desire….and with Westin Homes, that search is over. Westin Homes stands alone in every area – from the “Easy Build” program with any home on any lot within a 40 mile radius of Desoto County, MS to the beautiful open floor plans with incredible detailing and craftsmanship - buyers need look no further! As a buyer myself going through the process, I have never been more impressed. I am thrilled to be working for such a great company and look forward to helping make your housing dreams come true with a Westin Home. Come visit and see if this isn’t exactly what you’ve been looking for!
