Jeff Sanderson, Founder/Owner

 

imageNamed after his two daughters, Jeff began Whitney Blair Custom Homes and his building career in Chapel Hill, NC, where he established a successful track record in residential building and land development. With a love of the NC coast, Jeff decided to re-locate the company to Sunset Beach, NC, in the late 90’s. There, he quickly established a reputation with Whitney Blair Custom Homes as a premier designer and builder of classic coastal homes in the area’s most prestigious communities. As a member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program, Jeff is a 2-time recipient of the Southern Living Custom Builder of the Year award and is a multi-year Board Member of the Southern Living Custom Builder Program. Jeff recently served as President of the Brunswick County Home Builders Association (HBA) for 2 consecutive terms, helping to influence and lead the HBA in a number of new initiatives that were adopted by the HBA and continue today. He continues to hone his talents as the only NC/SC dual-state holder of accreditations as a SC-Certified Master Builder and NC-Accredited Master Builder. National NAHB accreditations include GMB (Graduate Master Builder), CAPS (Certified Aging in Place Specialist) and CGP (Certified Green Professional) recognizing his clients’ desires to build environmentally responsible homes that also allow them to age in place.
