Cotton Coastal Homes is a family owned redevelopment and design company founded in 2018 by Jon and Kristie Sutton. Our mission is to breathe new life into outdated homes, rejuvenating the local economy and improving the quality of living for future homeowners throughout the Savannah area.
Cotton Coastal Homes is passionate about helping people on both sides of the home ownership spectrum achieve their real estate goals.
At Cotton Coastal Homes our goal is to improve the quality of living in our local neighborhoods by rehabilitating properties that are in significant need of repair, making home ownership more accessible and rental properties more pleasant to live in, improving the lives of our neighbors no matter their real estate aspirations.
We utilize an effective design strategy to make homes as attractive as possible to prospective buyers and renters while avoiding unnecessary expenditures. Kristie’s understanding of the local real estate market enables us to choose which homes will provide the best return on our investment, while Jon’s skill in finances, project, and business management keep every project running smoothly.
Unlike so many others in the real estate investment and redevelopment business, we know and love the neighborhoods we work in. We often spot new properties to redevelop while walking our springer spaniel or bringing our 3 kids to after school activities. We care about each home we work on, aiming to bring out the special charm in each that makes Savannah special. This makes choosing the best homes for redevelopment much easier.
Since 2013 we have been building our dream of opening Cotton Coastal Homes. We have pursued extensive education in community redevelopment by Fortune Builder Paul Esajian, including project planning, management, and efficiency in the rehab process. The Fortune Builder support team remains a valuable resource for us as we continue to build and expand our business.
Prior to beginning our education in real estate investment and redevelopment, we owned and operated a successful wedding planning business for eight years. During this time, Jon honed his skills in finance as well as project and business management. Kristie became an expert at realizing each couple’s dream wedding using effective strategies that deliver personal style and touches while keeping costs down.
Kristie became a full-time realtor in 2015 with the goal of developing an intimate understanding of the Savannah area and a comprehensive awareness of what prospective homeowners and renters are looking for. She knew that this experience would provide a substantial edge over competition when it was time to open Cotton Coastal Homes.
