Customer Reviews

Katie Grove

We recently moved into our home in Dornwood Estates built by Hughston Homes, and honestly, we could not be happier with our experience. From the very beginning, the entire team was incredibly helpful, responsive, professional, and kind. Every question we had was answered quickly, and throughout the entire process we truly felt taken care of. A special shoutout to Micah Sykes and Albert Strong. They were seriously amazing through this whole process! The kind of people who make a stressful move feel exciting instead. The quality of the home exceeded our expectations. This is not your typical “builder grade” home. The craftsmanship, finishes, and thoughtful details throughout the house make it feel custom and high-end. You can tell real care went into building these homes. Beyond the home itself, the setting is absolutely incredible. Waking up every morning surrounded by trees, birds, deer, and wildlife feels peaceful in a way that’s hard to describe. It genuinely feels like a retreat from busy life. We have zero complaints and would absolutely recommend Hughston Homes and Dornwood Estates to anyone looking for a beautiful, high-quality home and a different kind of lifestyle. We are so grateful we found this place!

We recently closed on our new home with Hughston Homes and had a great experience from start to finish. The entire process was smooth and well organized, and the quality of the home has been excellent. Neil Cooper, our realtor, was outstanding to work with. He was always responsive, knowledgeable, and made sure we understood every step along the way. Anytime we had questions during the building and closing process, he was quick to help and kept everything moving forward. We are extremely happy with our new home and would definitely recommend Hughston Homes and Neil!

The purchase of our new home in Wyndham Village Opelika was fantastic through Clint Hawthorn. He is a wonderful real estate agent. We enjoyed from the beginning of purchasing the corner lot to the complete construction phase with Clint. We are so happy with our new home. Clint made things possible when we asked him. I would personally recommend Clint above all to get you a new home.

????? We had an outstanding experience working with Neil throughout the entire process of building our custom home with Hughston Homes, starting from the very beginning when we selected the land. Neil was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely helpful every step of the way. He took the time to walk us through the process, explained our options clearly, and made sure we felt comfortable and informed with every decision. From lot selection to construction and final details, Neil was consistently responsive and attentive. His communication was excellent, and he always made himself available to answer questions or address concerns. He showed great attention to detail and genuinely cared about making sure our home was built to our expectations. Building a custom home can be stressful, but Neil made the experience smooth and reassuring. His dedication, reliability, and commitment to quality truly stood out. We are extremely happy with our Hughston Homes custom build and would highly recommend Neil to anyone looking to build a home from the ground up. Thank you for making this such a positive and rewarding experience!

My fiancé and I are first time home buyers and we went through Hughston Homes. We customized our entire house to exactly how we wanted it and the work this company does on a house is incredible. We worked with Ricardo Merriweather on their sales team and he was great to work with. Very informative and knowledgeable within this process which is exactly what we needed as first time buyers. I highly recommend if you are looking for a house, go through Hughston Homes.
