Chris Sandlin Homes

A Legacy Built in Texas.
Six Decades of Sandlin Craftsmanship.

Chris Sandlin carries a name that has meant something in Texas homebuilding for over 60 years. As the eldest grandson of J.B. Sandlin — founder of the pioneering Sandlin Custom Homes — Chris grew up surrounded by the principles that define exceptional construction: meticulous craftsmanship, strong character, and an unwavering commitment to the people who trust you with their most important investment.

Building independently since 2009 under Sandlin Design Build, Inc., Chris has carried that family legacy forward into a new era of luxury homebuilding. In recent years, his focus has sharpened on the most sought-after neighborhoods of the Mid-Cities corridor — building homes that don't just meet the market, but define it. Multiple return clients speak to what sets Chris apart: a builder who stays accountable, answers the phone, and delivers what he promises.

All Chris Sandlin Homes properties are exclusively listed and sold through The Bankston Group and The Agency Dallas. Katie Bankston serves as lead listing agent, with Damon Williamson — broker of The Agency Dallas — providing additional listing representation and brokerage support. This exclusive partnership ensures every Sandlin home receives the full weight of The Agency's global marketing platform, luxury buyer network, and white-glove transaction management.

The Right Partner for New Construction

Buying a new construction home — especially a custom luxury home — is a fundamentally different process than buying an existing property. The timeline is longer, the decisions are more complex, and the stakes are higher. Having an agent who understands the builder's process, the contract nuances, and the market dynamics that affect value is not optional — it's essential.

The Bankston Group has represented buyers and sellers on multiple Chris Sandlin transactions, giving clients a trusted advisor who has been through this process before — and knows how to navigate it successfully. From lot selection to final walkthrough, Katie and her team are with you every step of the way.
