Ed McMurtryOwner 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 |

Rick McMurtry I enjoy working at Westin Homes because I get to help make people's dreams come true. Anyone can build a house, but I will build you a home. I’ve been in the industry for 28 years now and I enjoy it now more than ever. Westin Homes has a staff that genuinely cares about doing the best they can for our extended family members -our customers. Once your home is complete and we hand you the keys, we'll have shared so many special moments that we'll be like family. Our goal is to make you believe in Westin Homes as much as we do. In fact, we want you to be so proud of your home that you become a salesperson. I want to thank everyone for whom we've built a home. You've given us the opportunity to help make your dreams come true. Contact Rick at Rick@westinhomes.com |

Diana Odom I have been with Westin Homes for over 5 years, and am the daughter of owner Ed McMurtry, and niece of Rick McMurtry. I am currently the company's Office Manager and Interior Designer. I really enjoy assisting familes with the largest purchase they'll ever make. Over the years, I've helped countless homeowners in North & South MS and TN decorate their new Westin Homes. It's my job to make sure that every detail of a new home is personlized and that each home owner is completely satisfied! My other Westin jobs include: computer technician, accounting, and meeting your daily needs! |

Tanya Illing I am a sales consultant whom Ed McMurtry brought into the exciting business of real estate and new home sales over 10 years ago. I'm still loving every minute of it! How many people wake up excited about going to work, love the people they work with, and make a living doing something they're passionate about? What I love most about my job is that I'm part of a family: the Westin Homes Family! Give us a call! |

Lynn Marie Grego I have 10 years experience in the real estate business and I have really enjoyed the experience. I am especially proud to work with Westin Homes because they build the quality homes that buyers desire and stand behind those homes with a great warranty. We are dedicated to ensuring that our buyers are completely satisfied with their new homes. I am proud to represent a company with that kind of integrity.

Vicki Frye 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. When my husband was in the Air Force we were stationed on the Gulf Coast twice. We loved the area and the people so much that we decided to come back here when he retired! It's a real pleasure to be part of a company that helps people create their dream homes in an area we love. |
