Sharkey Custom Homes

Sharkey Custom Homes is a family-run Lubbock custom builder, and its website is a portfolio, not a price list. That is normal for a custom builder — but it means almost every question a buyer has is one you will have to ask in person and get in writing. This page tells you which ones.

Where I stand, so you can weigh what you read here. I work closely with Ventura Homes — they are the builder I know best and the one I walk clients through most often. I am saying that up front because a builder guide written as though the author has no point of view is not being straight with you. It does not change a word of what follows: everything on this page comes from the builder’s own published pages, with the date I read them, and I will represent you on a purchase from this builder properly and without hesitation.

What the builder publishes

From the builder’s own pages on 2026-10-22: founder Jason Sharkey writes that the family has “been involved in custom home building since 1991” (About), the office is at 7302 82nd Street, Suite 15, Lubbock 79424 (Contact), and the process is five steps — lot and subdivision selection (“or build on your own land”), house-plan design, pre-construction and cost bidding, construction, move-in (homepage). The Sold Homes gallery shows past projects in Ransom Canyon, Tech Terrace, Verrado Estates, south Lubbock and Lubbock County, plus Seminole. The site lists three Judges Awards at the 2023 Lubbock Parade of Homes (Favorite Floor Plan, Interior Design and Kitchen) and reports being named a top Lubbock custom builder by a third-party publication.

Not published on the builder’s site as of 2026-10-22: prices or price ranges, square footage, available or spec homes, warranty terms, lender or financing language, and any policy on working with buyer’s agents. (The homepage also states both “27 years” and “30 years” of experience in two copies of the same paragraph — a small thing, but a reminder to confirm everything that matters in writing.)

The questions a custom build turns on

With a custom builder the contract is the product. Before you sign anything, you want in writing: the allowances (what is budgeted for flooring, counters, fixtures, appliances, landscaping — and what happens when you choose above them), the change-order process and pricing, the schedule and what moves it, the draw schedule if you are financing construction, the warranty document, and whether the builder will work with your agent and how that is compensated. None of those are on the website. All of them are answerable in one meeting if you ask.

Before you decide: the builder I work with most closely

If you are far enough along to be reading a page like this one, spend an afternoon with more than one builder — and I would want Ventura Homes to be one of them. I know their communities and their plan library, I know who to call when a question needs a real answer instead of a brochure answer, and I can usually get that answer the same day. You can walk their full floor-plan library here before you ever visit a model home. If this builder turns out to be the better fit for you, that is a fine outcome and I will get you through it. Do not decide before you have looked at both.

Compensation disclosure. If you buy a home from this builder — or from Ventura, or any other builder — with me representing you, the builder may pay a commission to my brokerage, Realty Refined. That is the normal arrangement in new construction. Your buyer representation agreement, which we sign before we tour, states exactly what you owe and how any builder-paid amount is credited; a builder-paid commission does not by itself make representation “free” to you.

Working with a REALTOR® on a Sharkey purchase

I am not here to talk you into or out of any builder. What I do is represent your side: reading the builder’s contract (it is the builder’s own paperwork, not the standard Texas resale form), keeping the schedule honest, standing on your end of the walkthrough and the inspection — yes, you still want an independent inspection on a brand-new home — and, if you own a home already, running the sale and the purchase as one plan instead of two crises.

The one thing with a clock on it: name your agent at your first contact with the builder, before you tour. Where this builder publishes its own rule, it is quoted above; where it does not, ask them directly what they need from you and your agent before the first visit, and keep the answer.
