Schell Brothers dates its own founding to 2003 and names Chris Schell as the person who started it. Its own About page lists four regions it builds in: Delaware, the Richmond area of Virginia, the Nashville area of Tennessee — where its office is in Hendersonville — and the Boise area of Idaho. That is a small enough set of markets that the Middle Tennessee operation is a division rather than a franchise, which is worth knowing when you are asking who answers a warranty call.
Its own Nashville community list is one of the few on this page that prints a starting price on every open community, and it names them by city: Campbell Crossing, Millstone, Norman Ridge and Oak Creek Estates in Hendersonville, Fox Creek and MacGregory Downs in Gallatin, Oak Hall IV and Yorkshire Estates in Mt. Juliet, and The Reserve at Horn Springs in Lebanon, plus Branch Out and Wembley Park.
The same list marks this builder's Durham Farms offering sold out. The community itself is still selling in our own records with other builders in it, so both things are true at once — and that is exactly the kind of distinction that costs a Saturday if nobody flags it. Ask us which builder is releasing homesites in a shared community before you drive out to one.
The building-science package is published under its own name, Schellter™ Advanced Building Science, with four named parts: HomeIQ™, Enerwize™, 4Tress™ and SanctuAIR™. No warranty program name was published on the pages we read, so ask for the written limited warranty document for your plan.
What buying from Schell Brothers is like
Selections run through the builder's own design studio, and the purchase runs on the builder's own contract. Get the included-features list for your exact plan in writing, and ask specifically which parts of the named building-science package are standard on your plan versus an option, because a programme name is not a specification. Ask for the written limited warranty document before you sign, and order your own pre-drywall and final-walkthrough inspections.

Can I bring my own agent to a Schell Brothers community?
The sales counselor you meet at a Schell Brothers model works for Schell Brothers. That is the role, and a good one knows those plans, those homesites and that build schedule inside out. What the role does not include is representing you on price, on which options are worth buying, on the lot premium, or on the terms of the builder's own contract. That is what a buyer's agent does, and in Tennessee you are generally free to bring your own to a builder community at little or no cost to you.
Timing is the part people get wrong. Most builders ask who your agent is on your very first visit, and sorting it out afterwards is an awkward conversation nobody needs. Call us at 615-265-1000 before you walk into the model and your representation is in place from the first appointment — which is also when it is worth the most, because that is when the plan, the homesite and the options are still open.
Several of this builder's Middle Tennessee communities are shared with other builders, and at least one of its offerings is closed out inside a community that is still selling. Sorting out who is building what, where, is a phone call for us and a wasted weekend for you. Call 615-265-1000 before your first visit and we will confirm it and read the agreement with you.
