Meet the Team

Kent Homes began in 1989 with a simple but powerful mission: to change the way people viewed homebuilders.
After years of working in the construction and real estate industry, Dan and Miriam Kent set out to build something different — a company founded on honesty, integrity, and craftsmanship you can count on. What started as a small, family-run operation quickly grew into a respected name along the Carolina coast. Over the years, Kent Homes has built more than just beautiful houses — they’ve built trust, lasting relationships, and a team of over 30 dedicated professionals who share the same commitment to quality and care that Dan began decades ago.
In 2020, Dan’s daughter, Ashley Kent, officially took the helm as President and COO — making Kent Homes a proud second-generation, woman-owned builder. Ashley knows this business inside and out (literally). From her days as a Project Manager walking job sites, to Sales & Marketing, to now leading the company, she’s seen firsthand what makes Kent Homes special: the people, the process, and the heart behind every build.
Whether you’re building your forever home or your next adventure, we’re here to make it a fun, seamless experience — built on trust, quality, and a whole lot of southern charm!
