In 2010, a family dream took shape with the founding of Jamestown Estate Homes, named after the first lot purchased on Jamestown Road in Piney Point. At the helm are three sisters — Elizabeth, Katy, and Victoria — working alongside their father, Greg Hawes, a respected leader in Houston’s homebuilding community.
After nearly two decades leading one of the city’s largest semi-custom builders, Greg envisioned a more intimate, fully custom approach to luxury homebuilding. Jamestown Estate Homes was built on that foundation, where craftsmanship, family values, and close collaboration with clients drive every project. It’s not just a business; it’s a shared passion.
That same philosophy shaped their partnership with MGA. Amid the evolving complexities of tax law and the financial challenges of a growing business, Jamestown Estate Homes sought a CPA firm that could match their pace and mindset. After meeting with several firms, Comptroller Katy Hawes found the perfect fit in MGA Partners Adam Barr and David Long. Their proactive approach, technical expertise, and ability to understand the nuances of the homebuilding industry stood out immediately.
Since then, MGA has provided ongoing tax and assurance services, including balance sheet audits and financial statement compilations for lenders. The Jamestown team describes the audit process as smooth, professional, and collaborative — a partnership marked by accessibility and mutual respect. The MGA assurance team even visited Jamestown’s active build sites across Houston to gain a full understanding of their operations, something that left a strong impression on Katy and her team.
What Jamestown appreciates most is MGA’s ability to speak their language. The MGA team asks industry-specific questions, digs into the details of custom and speculative home sales, and offers advice that aligns with the realities of the homebuilding business. “It’s refreshing to work with someone who truly understands what we do,” Katy says. “MGA just gets it.”
With MGA’s support, Jamestown Estate Homes can stay focused on what matters most: creating homes and relationships that stand the test of time. The partnership reflects shared values of trust, integrity, and craftsmanship, which are the same principles that make Jamestown’s homes so exceptional.
How MGA Supports Jamestown Estate Homes:
