This family business was founded on just that…Family. We began in 1976 with the dreams and ambitions of Ron & Sheryl Willingham. Built on a foundation of legacy the current owner was raised in the business and by the business. That business being – helping others find Home.
Candace joined the family business in 2009 after a corporate career. She enjoyed what she did outside of Altus, but the world she grew up in called her home and she came back to take over her first true passion. Candace, with a degree in Marketing from OSU, had the opportunity to work truly alongside her parents for almost 15 years until their retirement in 2023.
Sheryl Homes has literally lost count of how many homes they have built in Altus and Southwest Oklahoma. The best answer they can give is – “It’s a ton.”
Since 2009, Candace has been involved in over 200 of those building projects!
Ron and Sheryl moved back to Altus from Dallas in 1976, after both graduating from OSU with business degrees, and spending a short time in Dallas to learn that they wanted to work for themselves and not be in the corporate world.
Ron’s Dad passed away and had a small amount of real estate in Altus. They started buying and managing a few rentals, and buying property that needed to be remodeled. With no jobs, Ron would buy and sell things to make money. The rule was to buy the smallest house in the nicest neighborhood to remodel, and buy properties that were not in the best location for most others use.
And the most important thing was to develop several relationships with the local banks to build a financial foundation.
Ron was the GC in the early years with Sheryl helping mainly at the end of the build. When Ron wanted to concentrate in other areas of real estate, Sheryl took over the building business.
The objective was to build quality homes with features above our competition, and have service after the sale with a smile.
We have been doing this for over 48 years and we are here to make your home finding process as simple as possible. We are ready…the only thing we are waiting on is you.
