BSI Builder Services, LLC, the new homes sales division of Allen Tate Companies, is pleased to announce that Evans Coghill Homes, one of the Carolinas’ premier custom home builders, has joined forces with Keystone Custom Homes and will operate under Keystone’s brand and processes, effective October 1, 2022.
Founded in 2001, Evans Coghill Homes has a strong reputation for building classically designed homes with right-size living plans in communities throughout the greater Charlotte, N.C. region. Since 2012, BSI has proudly represented Evans Coghill Homes as a sales and marketing partner for its new home communities.
Founded in 1992, Keystone Custom Homes, has built more than 8,000 custom homes in Pennsylvania and Maryland and is the first three-time recipient of America’s Best Builder Award. This powerful alliance of regional leaders combines Evans Coghill’s local market expertise with Keystone’s outstanding homebuilding processes, caring customer service, and award-winning innovation to offer a new brand of custom homes at an exceptional value through the implementation of their buyer-driven design process and strategic land positioning.
“Our decision to align with the Keystone brand began with a simple friendship and came to fruition when Jeff and I discovered our shared vision to put purpose over profit,” said Alan Banks, founder, Evans Coghill Homes, and now division president, Keystone Custom Homes.
Keystone is committed to funding faith-driven stewardship and in 2019, Keystone founder and CEO Jeff Rutt donated 89 percent of Keystone’s ownership to the National Christian Foundation in order to further the company’s value of giving back.
“We believe home buyers deserve to build a home suited to their specific needs,” Rutt said. “We offer the ability to start with a thoughtfully designed floorplan and transform it into a home that fits each customer’s specific needs and dreams.”
Keystone is currently selling in three communities in the greater Charlotte region and is developing more than 200 homesites for delivery within the next 18 months, priced from the low $500,000’s to more than $1 million with exclusive waterfront offerings.
“Together, we’ll continue to bring beautiful and highly customized new homes to the Carolinas’ market,” Banks said. “This exciting changeover isn’t just a shift in company name; it’s a new chance to grow our goodwill and maintain a presence of home building excellence for generations to come.”
“BSI has enjoyed a successful partnership with Evans Coghill for many years. We are excited to be part of this next chapter of growth and excellence with Keystone Custom Homes, and what this will mean to the families who will create their dream homes,” said Lind Goodman, president, BSI Builder Services.
