Hi, I’m Jackie — mom, former librarian turned budget-nerd, and the heart behind Home of Henderson.
I grew up in a small town where childhood meant playing in the dirt, riding bikes until the streetlights came on, and knowing the same group of kids from preschool through high school. After my son was born, I realized I wanted that same kind of childhood for him.
The town we were living in outside of Charleston? Growing like crazy. More traffic, bigger schools, endless Target runs, and plenty of “keeping up with the Joneses.” Not that there’s anything wrong with nice things (I love a Pottery Barn sale as much as the next girl), but I wanted to find some balance: more mud pies, less carpool lanes.
So, we traded hustle for small-town coastal-country life.
Why we chose Schumacher Homes
When we decided to build instead of buy, we knew one thing: this dream had to fit within a very real budget. Coastal living isn’t cheap, and as a middle-class family, we had to make smart moves.
We chose Schumacher Homes because of their promise of transparency. Their “build on your lot” approach gave us the flexibility to find property closer to the water without sacrificing space. We loved their floor plans, had a great experience with the staff, and felt genuinely cared for through the whole customization process.
What We Believe at Home of Henderson
This isn’t about Pinterest-perfect living. Around here, we believe in homes — and lives — that feel attainable, not just aspirational.
We’re here to prove that you can build a home you love without breaking the bank (and without losing your mind).
Encouragement over discouragement. Builders aren’t perfect, and mistakes happen, but we focus on solutions and the big picture.
Transparency matters. From floor plan mods to budget breakdowns, you’ll see the real numbers and real choices.
Positivity first. This is stressful enough — this space should feel like a deep breath.
Your dream is valid. Not everyone will understand why we left a beautiful suburban neighborhood to move to the middle of nowhere. But you don’t need everyone to get it.
