Woodstone Team

Jeffrey Smith, CEO

Jeff's organization skills and attention to detail and quality are key ingredients to Woodstone's success. On a daily basis he is in close contact with Woodstone buyers, contractors, and staff. Jeff brings to the business his MBA and acute analytical and financial experience. His background makes him a natural for working with buyers, from pre-planning through the execution of their plans. Adept at business details of home building and developing land, Jeff spends much of his day in the office designing and pricing homes for construction, researching home building products, preparing specifications for home construction and land development, and scheduling jobs.

Jeff's initial meeting with prospective homebuyers begins with reviewing the buyer's "wish list"; in addition, market trends are discussed as well as cost/benefit relationships of typical amenities. Preliminary pricing is subsequently prepared for the buyer and parameters for design are finalized with the buyer based on a tailored fit between the wish list and pricing details. Meetings are then initiated with Woodstone's architect to translate the design parameters into preliminary and final building plans. Once plans are complete, a construction contract is formulated which translates the plans and specifications into reality. Jeff's continuous involvement in the design/build process, along with his 30 years of building experience help create a seamless process that ensures a new home that is a perfect fit with the buyer's dreams and budget.

Tim Smith, Contract and Operations Director

A 2004 graduate of Bucknell University, Tim has been with Woodstone full or part time for over 8 years.

During construction Tim assists buyers with selections and construction decisions. From contract inception to the completion of the home, Tim's involvement with buyers helps take the stress out of new home construction!

Robert Sandman, Field Technician

In addition to Bob's over 20 years with Woodstone as their field technician, he previously framed a number of Woodstone homes when he headed his own rough framing crew in the early 80's. Bob is truly a jack-of-all-trades. He is responsible for checking the final fit and finish of all Woodstone homes and for following through with coordinating service work during the warranty period. In addition, he fills in for many trades during construction, while still having time to sharpen his carpentry skills building most of Woodstone's exterior wood decks. His in-depth construction knowledge, endless commitment to detail, and gentle personality are key to Woodstone's ability to deliver consistent and superior quality.

Patrick Morabito, Patrick J. Morabito A.I.A. Architect

Pat Morabito has been personally involved in the design of nearly every Woodstone Custom Home since Woodstone's inception in 1978. The association of Morabito and Woodstone has been a remarkably good fit for both companies, and has been largely due to the strength of the personal and professional relationship between Jeff Smith and Pat Morabito. Both have been very successful in fostering a seamless design process involving the buyer, builder, and architect to create home plans that meet the dreams of the buyers as well as the realities of the buyer's budget and the real estate market.

Pat's involvement with the buyer typically begins with an initial consultation to discuss the design parameters with the buyer and Jeff that have been established based on the buyer's budget and "wish list". This consultation leads to a preliminary plan for review by the buyer and pricing by Woodstone. Based on buyer input and further consultation as appropriate, a final home plan is ultimately prepared. As a licensed architect, Pat designs the homes and ensures the structural integrity of each home, providing detailed architectural plans for construction.
