So, let me tell you about SAB Homes. Seriously, it’s as if Bob Vila and MacGyver had a baby, and that baby grew up to be a home builder. Quality workmanship and years of experience (Bob) and able to turn a piece of wood and everything else into an unbelievable work of art (MacGyver). Ok, they didn’t turn a paper clip into a catalytic converter but still. The craftsmanship? Chef’s kiss! That crown molding, the built-in bookcases, the wainscoting, the cabinetry..omgggg! It’s like living inside a Pinterest board, except it’s even better because we get to live in this beauty in less than a week. And let’s talk about how much fun we had. Building a house can be stressful, right? WRONG. Not with SAB. They kept the good vibe rolling and somehow made the entire process feel like we were on a reality show—except without the drama. Just the good parts. If you’re looking for a home builder who’s got mad skills, a creative imagination, and the kind of personality that makes you wish they’d stay for dinner, (or cocktails) then congratulations—you’ve found them! Our new home is incredible, and we still can’t believe how much fun we had getting here. Highly, highly recommend! I can’t give shout outs because every. single. person. was amazing. The lucky homeowners, Becky + John

We have built three homes with SAB and have been happy with them all. The build process and communication from beginning to end is top notch with this team. Our build job was completed timely and they were very helpful with making decisions along the way. The continued service/communication they provide after moving in is helpful and reassuring that your needs will be met. Great team and thorough, high quality work!

As a realtor, I found SAB homes extremely easy to work with, and the quality and detail of the construction, was superior. I worked mostly with Raelynn, Kelsey, and Zach, and they were great, took the time to explain everything, and were also very accommodating to my out-of-town Buyer's schedules. Their warranty division was the best that I have worked with regarding their presentation to the Buyers, the walk-throughs, and their follow-through. I highly recommend SAB Homes to anyone wanting to build a home, or to purchase a home already built by them.

SAB Homes provided an incredible experience for my buyers. As a real estate agent, I have the opportunity of working with a variety of builders and comparing the systems for how buyer processes are handled. From initial questions to going under contract and ultimately closing on the home, SAB was top-notch. Their prompt communication, attentiveness to detail and friendly customer service exceeded all of my expectations. Raelynn, Kelsey and Talby made this such a smooth and stress-free experience. I will be referring buyers to SAB any chance I get!

We built our first home with SAB. It was an amazing process! So many people told us building a home would be stressful and tumultuous. That was not the case AT ALL with SAB. The people are amazing, kind, and helpful. Their work is high quality. I feel like we lucked out when we chose SAB.

We are so pleased with our SAB experience. The entire team - Tina, Kelsey, Sarah, Joanne, Tyler, Josh, everyone was responsive and professional. They are fun to work with, but most of all, made sure that we are happy with our new home. This builder constructs a quality home. Ours is “spec”, but has some really nice features included. We would highly recommend SAB to anyone looking to build or purchase a new home.

Absolutely the best in build and service. Kelsey and crew make the impossible possible. Simply exceptional! SAB made our move home to KC after 20 years in the military a wonderful experience.

As the buyer's agent for my buyers purchase of an SAB home I had tremendous confidence in the value, the professionalism and quality of this new home that will serve their family for many years to come. They made the process enjoyable, professional and streamlined. One of the best new home buying experiences I have had!

I just love SAB Homes!  Their quality is second to none!  After touring many local homes during the “Parade of Homes”, their craftsmanship stood out.  I was discovering all the homes I loved the most were built by SAB.  I’m pretty particular and knew what I wanted.  From the first hello to the final walk through, their communication was clear, staff was exceptional to work with, and they always let me know my options.  There’s nothing like thinking “shoot, I wish I would have known XYZ”.  Their project management style, contracts, and superintendent assigned to each build laid out timelines, deadlines, and goals so everything was crystal clear.  As for the integrity of the house, I followed the built closely and ANY questions I had, they were sure to address clearly and quickly.  And every time, they were actually going above and beyond, not making shortcuts like other builders.  The weekly updates with photos where the highlight of each passing week.  I’ve been in the home for just over three months.  Not one issue.  Believe me, I’ve tried to find fault but I just can’t.  Several of my new neighbor’s homes were also built by SAB and not a single one have had anything but glowing reviews for them!  I couldn’t love my home more and will forever recommend SAB Homes!

We purchased a new home last year. It has been 11 months and we have so few issues it is amazing. The few small issues that we had were resolved in days and the response is quick, professional and complete. Great people to work with.

My name is Joe DeSimone and I reside in the Villages of Forest Hills.  My wife and I moved in a bit over one week ago.  Our experience working with SAB Homes and Gary has been a great experience.  Our house is extremely well built.  We were amazed by the quality and attention to detail in our home.  The very, very few minor issues we had were addressed immediately and efficiently.  This is our sixth house purchase and by far our best purchase and purchasing experience.  I would strongly encourage anyone interested in buying a home to include SAB as part of their buying process.

I have nothing but good things to say about SAB.  There are so many decisions that go into building a home and it can be overwhelming, but everyone at SAB was so patient and responsive to our questions and concerns (shout out to Robert for being awesome to work with!).  The way they do selections is fantastic.  They make the process easy and their design studio is great!  It was one of my favorite parts of building.  And then there are the homes - they do such excellent work.  We did a lot of research and looked at multiple builders and kept coming back to SAB.  I am so glad that we did - our home is beautiful and we are in love with how it came together and all of the beautiful details.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Our experience building with SAB has been great.  The quality we are getting is impeccable.  They take pride in their work and they care about their craft.  Everyone at SAB, from the office to the field, has been very helpful and accommodating to work with.  I would highly recommend SAB if you are planning to build a home!

I am so pleased with my new home and the process of working with SAB.  I have built before and looked at many many models and builders before landing with SAB.  The quality of their work and level of professionalism is unheard of.  Everyone on their team was so friendly and helpful and made the process easy.  You will not find a better builder in KC and they go above and beyond to help you make it your own!

We are very satisfied with the new home we purchased from SAB and their willingness to repair any minor issues we have had.  We would certainly recommend them to anyone wishing to build or purchase a new home.

We love our new SAB home.  Kelsey has been so great to work with.  She and our superintendent, Josh, met with us and walked us through all the new functions of our new build.  There's so much to do when buying a new home and this personalized process made us feel right at home.  Thank you!

I’ve been in my new home for two weeks and love it.  Working with Kelsey, Gary and Talby has been great.  Walk through was the best ever and all items were fixed.  I would have changed a few small items if I had bought the house prior to completion but happy over all.  Great bunch to work with.

My wife and I looked and looked for the right home for over 15 years. There are so many great homes and builders out there, but we kept coming back to SAB’s Ellenbrook model, located on a beautiful lot in Summit View Farms. This home finally had everything we were looking for in a house. Main-level living plus room to entertain in the spacious rec room. The detail of the finishes were also attractive to us. Quartz countertops, hardwood floor, beautiful cabinetry, and a huge master bedroom closet are just a few of the features we love about our new house. Kelsey took us through a detailed explanation of operating the various systems in our house, as well as explaining SAB’s commitment to the buyer after the sale. This gave us more peace of mind that we will be satisfied for a long time with our purchase. We believe that SAB’s attention to detail, combined with their service beyond the sale deserves our highest recommendation. We couldn’t be happier. Thanks SAB!

I run a large real estate team in Kansas City (groupodell.com) for the last 25 years. We help in excess of 250 families a year and have multiple new home constructions build jobs going at a time. We just closed on a build job home with SAB in Greenwood Missouri. Frankly, in all aspects from initial design, construction and the closing experience, the process was flawless. The building process is NEVER flawless. However, SAB had every process completely under control. Expectations were set and parameters were established from day one. Thank you to the entire SAB team for making my job easy and making memories for the Gardner's. They are thrilled with your work and so am I. The home is amazing.

Over the past 30 years, due to regular moves while serving in the military, I've bought and sold five different homes. I recently closed with SAB and it is by far the best house I've ever owned and my best house-buying experience. SAB is committed to quality and homeowner satisfaction in every detail of the houses they build; that commitment starts with the owner and VP and is shared by every member of the SAB team. Lots of builders build houses that are beautiful on the surface- SAB builds houses that are not only beautiful but incredibly well-built. And, every member of the SAB team went the extra mile to ensure every detail of my house was just the way I wanted it. I've never had the pleasure of dealing with a builder so customer-oriented and focused. I highly recommend SAB for your next home purchase!

3 people have been EXCELLENT to work with! Robert has come here several times to help us with issues. Kelsey and Adrienne have both been great in responding to telephone calls and quick responses to emails!

SAB Homes is an outstanding builder with exceptional after-the-sale service! They totally stand behind their product, and provided superior workmanship for a handful of warranty claims we had on our new home. When I say “warranty claims”, I’m talking about some things our moving company damaged, like imperfections on walls, wood trim and thresholds, and EVERYTHING was repaired! For the few warranty claims related to HVAC, plumbing, etc., SAB dispatched the appropriate sub-contractor immediately, and everything was resolved to our satisfaction. It’s obvious to us, that the owner (Scott) is involved in all facets of the build, the sale and the follow-up actions related to customer concerns and warranty claims. When Scott showed up at our closing to personally thank us for the purchase, our realtor was totally surprised, and told us he’s never seen the owner of a major builder show up at a closing. We didn’t think too much about it, until we submitted our 3-month warranty claim and heard Scott on the phone, making sure the smallest of items was discussed, properly addressed, and scheduled.

We had an EXCELLENT experience with SAB and HIGHLY recommend SAB to anyone wanting an amazingly good quality built home AND phenomenal follow up and follow through! SAB is very easy to work with and they go above and beyond for their customers! Robert was a fabulous superintendent on our house. He and his crew did an amazing job on our beautiful home. And when we called him on the one or two extremely minor issues, he came right over to fix within minutes!! Adrienne has been incredibly helpful, making certain that everything inside and outside the house was to our standards and we were happy. Even Scott, the owner, came to our closing to make sure we were satisfied with our purchase. We did our research, went to several model homes, looked at several builders and know that there are many choices in builders, but in our opinion, you can't beat SAB's quality and price!!

Our experience with SAB was nothing short of exceptional. All our friends warned us that building a house is the most stressful thing you can do as a couple, and SAB made the process almost entirely stress free. Our designer Chelsey was perfect for us and our house turned out more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. I will recommend SAB to family, friends and really anybody who will listen without hesitation.

I Love SAB Homes! They did a fantastic job on my house!! Scott Bamesberger is a skilled and talented builder. His plans use all the space and are affordable! I would give them 10 Stars if it was available. I am a Realtor and have sold over 900+ homes, many of which have been new construction homes. I chose SAB Homes because he stands behind his homes, is creative and his company is a well oiled machine. My warranty work has gone easily. I just can't say enough good things about SAB. You should build your next home with SAB. You will not be disappointed.

During the summer of 2014 my wife and I purchased an SAB spec home that had just been completed in Overland Park, KS. In the prior two years we had just built a home in another metropolitan area in Iowa with a very high quality builder, and thought when we were moving back to the KC area that we would build again. We were fortunate enough to find the recently completed SAB home that had everything we wanted and in the area we wanted to live. First I will say that the SAB home we purchased is built with the utmost of care, and the best of quality. Everything about the home is quality, from the construction, finishes and clear to their attention to detail. We love the home. After we purchased the home and went through the inspection process, prior to closing, that is when I truly realized what a special organization SAB homes is.  Other small follow ups that have occurred after we moved in, they get right on and get them fixed to our satisfaction, and they fix them quickly. My wife and I could not be happier. SAB builds quality, beautiful, well constructed homes. More importantly, they have great individuals working for them. They are a quality organization building well constructed beautiful homes that I would encourage anyone to build with.  

We love our SAB home! Scott, Raelynn, Tom, Megan and the rest of the team were terrific to work with, and we could not be happier with our final product. Their attention to detail is impressive, and the craftsmanship of our home is second to none. From the interior floor plan and exterior finishes, to our beautiful outdoor living space, SAB turned our vision into a reality. We would recommend SAB Homes to anyone looking for a quality home builder!

SAB built us a beautiful home and were available whenever we had questions or concerns. The design team was excellent, and Jim, our building supervisor, was fantastic! I can recommend SAB without reservation due to our great experience with them.

We had been looking in Prairie Highlands for quite a while. All of the houses we were looking at had cats. 90% of my family is very allergic to cats! In order to move to this location, we had to build or buy a closely finished home. We stumbled on a spec home that SAB scoped out for Parade of Homes. We made an offer. Most of the home was in the final stages so we were not able to pick anything out. Luckily Katie picked it for us. She picked basically everything we would have picked unknowingly! Tom and Adrienne were fantastic during the walkthroughs. Tom did not judge us or give us dirty looks when we asked for touch-ups, and Adrienne had a great presentation for us! Scott showed up at the title company in person to congratulate us. You don't see that every day. I can go on all day about the service and communication. I really love this builder and all staff members. They will be around for a while!

We bought a new home nearly 3 months ago and it's been a wonderful experience. The quality of the craftsmanship is second to none. The service and support we've continued to receive from SAB is also top notch. Each person we've encountered is sincere, genuine, and committed to ensuring the entire process is smooth. There is attention to detail in both the construction and service. We're thrilled with our new home and cannot speak highly enough about SAB. It's continued to be a great experience.

SAB builds houses as if they were going to live in them themselves. Their goal is to ensure that their clients get the exact home they want. Quality, personalized service, and experience.

Jim DeVore has went above and beyond to help us in our new home transition! There is absolutely nothing he wouldn't do to help us or find someone that could. He has an exceptional disposition and always has smile! You have a gem with him as your employee, so glad he was assigned to us!! I do appreciate how quickly I get responses no matter the issue from the office staff to Jim. Makes me feel that our house is just as important as all the others being built! I, also, appreciated the cleaning items we received at closing as I had not had these finishes in my old home and had no idea how to clean them!

(to the designers, Katie & Kaitlin)  

"I would like to recognize, Tom Hoelting, Brad Chaney and Adrienne. Also, Martel Painting Company, the subcontractor who did an exceptional job. . . . They did a great job and if we were to build another house we would have them do it again."

"SAB Homes seems to take a holistic approach to home building. They have dedicated teams for sales, design and warranty. Staff was responsive and present during the 7 month building process. We entered into contract during a very robust building season, but SAB adjusted resources, and customer service and quality wasn't compromised." . . . "Brad, Angie and Joanne were instrumental in getting us in contract. SAB was open to modifying the floorplan to meet our needs and worked with positioning the house on the lot per our preference. Angie was our first point of contact and because she took the initiative to drive from Olathe to Lee's Summit to show us the model house at that first meeting, we were in contract the following week. She heard what we were looking for and she identified the plan that would work for us. This relationship with was key to a successful build as we were relocating from out of state and were unfamiliar with the area." . . . "We appreciated Adrienne's overview of the home warranty at the final walk through as well as her help with resolving issues after we closed on the house. . . . Kaitlin was easy to work with and demonstrated good listening skills. She made design suggestions based on the buyer's preferences not hers. We especially appreciated the weekly updated from her and Chelsey as the project progressed. . . . Our field supervisor, Tom was instrumental in giving us a positive building experience. He was very knowledgeable and always available to discuss our concerns. This relationship was key to facilitating a good working relationship that resulted in construction of a beautiful home.

I would like to recognize Anthony Cello, Brad, Katie, and Kaitlin for their exceptional service. They all went above and beyond. We called when we had issues and they were responsive. Katie and Kaitlin let me bounce ideas off of them and gave me feedback when designing my home. I'm very appreciative of all them.

SAB Homes is a 1st class organization and their team made the process exceptionally smooth and enjoyable. The design team, Katie & Kaitlin, made our selection process fun and easy and our choices in the home flow together seamlessly. Raelynn & Brad were always available for questions regarding costs, plans, and material items and provided prompt response and service. Our site manager, Tom, was above and beyond helpful and diligent in his service, communication, and workmanship. Joanne provided a great deal of assistance with questions and updates during the process. Chelsey's weekly updates on our progress were critical to keeping us "in the know" during the building process and a game changer in the industry. Lastly, the subcontractors were a direct extension of SAB Homes with high quality craftsmanship and professionalism. Overall, our family couldn't be happier and could not have picked a better team to build our new home!

These people were amazing! Custom building my home in making every modification that I asked perfectly. Their craftsmanship is absolutely gorgeous. This is my forever home, but if I would ever build again I would use them. Their warranty work is exceptional they came out even at 15 months to fix things when my warranty ended at 12 months. Every home I've ever been in of theirs is done exceptionally well. When choosing a builder I would definitely look into them as they are amazing at what they do! So happy with my house. I looked at many homes prior and I am so happy I went them. The have every detailed covered!

The super, Jim was always on top of things, responsive to any concerns and great to work with. Raelynn was easy to communicate with and timely with information and answers to questions.

Tom, Adrienne, Raelynn, and Katie were all fantastic! Always quick to respond and exceptionally easy to deal with!

Jim DeVore, enjoyed working with Jim and appreciated his attention to detail during the construction phase of our home.

Everyone that interacted with at SAB Homes exceeded our expectations. This is our fifth home, and by far, the best experience we have ever had. We look forward to many years in our new home and we are grateful for the professionalism of all that were involved in the process of getting us in our home. Thanks!

Raelynn has been exceptionally responsive and helpful from the first time we saw the model home, up to the present time when we have been living in our home for almost 1 year. Charlie and John have been very for repairs and maintenance issues.

Jerry and Raelynn have been wonderful to work with! We bought a model home and wanted a number of changes made. They both worked with us every step of the way to ensure we got just what we wanted! The are clearly part of a very engaged, professional, and caring team!

Because it was only a spec home already finished on the KS side, I have only worked with Adrienne and Tom. They both have surpassed my expectation for what good service is. Courteous, thorough, quick with follow through and an approach that is at the highest level of professionalism, both of them. I know Tom just recently started, but was nothing but impressed with him. Adrienne was simply - - great, and great to work with.

Adrienne & Raelynn King-Barnhart were amazing too work with! They made our inspections, walk throughs and closing painless and stress free. Both were there to promptly answer any question or concern we had. They even made themselves available at night and on the weekends. Great ladies!  The subdivision superintendent Charlie was exceptionally courteous, and willing to accommodate our every need! Thank you SAB Homes! The quality of your people and their attention to detail were second to none.

Gary Smith, he does a great job and made sure everything went smooth.

I'd like to recognize John, the guy who takes care of issues. Adrienne has been most helpful.

Adrienne has been wonderful through the warranty process. She always responds to our emails promptly and works to get repairs done as quickly as possible. John and Mason have done excellent work on the items that we need taken care of. They leave all work areas clean and don't hesitate to take care of items even if they are not on the list. We cannot say thank you enough for the home and service SAB has given us :)

Raelynn was extremely helpful during construction and with warranty issues that came up.

I really like Joanne Atterbury and Tom Hoelting. They did an awesome job of getting me into my house on time.

I have been totally impressed with all sides of SAB. It is a well built house and we love it. We would be willing to show it to any interested buyers anytime!

Katie and Adrianne where both a pleasure to work with!

Thank you for your help and support through this process. You were always patient and understanding of our concerns. I felt the overage costs were very reasonable. We love our new home!!! Katie was very helpful and knowledgeable. She was a great asset in the selection process and as changes became necessary.

I expected SAB Homes to be exactly like our last contractor...gone and unreachable after the papers were signed, but it has been the exact opposite. Raelynn replies to e-mails or calls on a same day basis and also had fixes problems quickly within a few days. On the 3 month check-in, Jim came out and explained what had happened and didn't mind showing me how to fix it if it should happen again. I am very pleased on how professional and responsive SAB Homes has been.

Building this home with the expertise and care that Sab Homes brought to the project made it one of the most pleasureable experiences I have had the opertunity to be involved in. I would especily like to recognize Charley Robie the superintendent and Connie Nixion for all their time and effort. Great job thank you all.

Everybody there bent over backwards through the whole building process for us. Charlie sat down with us and went over everything so we knew exactly how everything would be and then they built it that way. It was a very smooth build, they exceeded our expectations on closing. They are a very well planned company. They were very open and honest with us and everything went very smoothly, something I don't hear too much of from my friends about other builders.

The minute we drove into Siena at Longview, we fell in love with the community. We were focusing on communities with reverse 1-1/2 style homes, and Siena was definitely the cream of the crop! The first thing that caught our attention was the beautiful red tile roofs - they add such elegance and contribute to the sense of peace and tranquility. As we looked more closely, we discovered the high quality of materials and construction. But most of all, we were impressed with the rapid response and attention to detail of the team at Siena. They definitely know what they are doing and made the entire process easy for us. We have been in our home for about a month now, and are still amazed that it we are actually living in our dream home!

We have been extremely pleased with the service that we have received from SAB since moving into our home. There have been a few problems, which have all been handled quickly and professionally. They are even willing to come out and replace light bulbs for us, which can be very difficult with such tall ceilings. I would give them the highest recommendation to anyone looking for a new home.

LOVED Raelynn and Dennis! They were outstanding to work with and we felt like we made a couple new friends in the process. They made building a new home easy and comfortable. We would definitely recommend SAB to anyone!

Jerry and Raylynn have been wonderful to work with! We bought a model home and wanted a number of changes made. They both worked with us every step of the way to ensure we got just what we wanted! The are clearly part of a very engaged, professional, and caring team!

Adreinne Morfield, Raelynn King-Barnhart were amazing too work with! They made our inspections, walk throughs and closing painless and stress free. Both were there to promptly answer any question or concern we had. They even made themselves avaiable at night and on the weekends. Great ladies! The subdivision super intendent Charlie was exceptionally courteous, and willing to accomodate our every need!

We are very happy with our house. We chose SAB specifically because they were willing to make a few design changes that we requested. Many builders were not willing to modify design plans, even slightly for homes that we considered. We were impressed with the service from every aspect of SAB contact - and we are confident that a few things we are having problems with now will be addressed to our satisfaction at the 3 month check in- time.

The people from SAB Homes really have the customer service thing down. Everyone that we have dealt with have been so great. It is nice to see people proud of their work.
