“Equity Quest Homes built our dream house and we enjoyed the entire process! When we met with Shannon and Gina I had a little hand drawn floor plan of a house with a courtyard and told them we wanted to build a multigenerational home. Gina created a floor plan with a courtyard and an ADU! We collaborated on the design and it was so much fun! We enjoyed making decisions, making some of our own purchases and even got to do some of the work. We saved close to 100k and the build was finished on time! Even during COVID they finished our project in six months! Paul was our project manager and he was not only professional but also kind and patient. My parents often say that they feel so blessed and never imagined retiring in such a beautiful new home. We wake up feeling so lucky everyday! We would not only highly recommend working with EquityQuest but we would encourage folks to look into starting the process of building a house at whatever stage of life! We’re in our 30s and thought building our dream house was far into the future but we sold our first house and made it happen. There are lots of financing options and when you take into account that you are building exactly what you want and not paying for features of a home that you don’t want, you get so much more bang for your buck by building from the ground up. We didn’t have to pay to tear anything down or settle for a house that wasn’t exactly what we wanted and we don’t have to clean any rooms we don’t use.” -Wes D.

"My experience with EquityQuest Homes was very positive, this is the second custom home I've built.  The difference was night and day, The first house took 2 years to complete and the builder was never there and very hard to locate, a nightmare.  Shannon of EquityQuest Homes had my home completed in 6 months.  When I called him my calls, if not answered then, were always returned.  I felt he did his best to help me get the home I wanted. I am happy with the results." -Diana O.

The EquityQuest Team just finished a custom build on our property in Sandy, Or. We couldn't be happier. From our initial meet with Gina and Shannon to the finishing details with Paul and the support from Ashley through the process was great. Always available to answer our questions, always had the patience to explain the process and do the homework that helped us move from A to B. The team was first class people. Integrity through and through.” Seth D.- Sandy, OR

“EquityQuest Homes has built several homes for us through the years-
one being a 3600 sq ft primary residence and the others being townhomes. Each of the projects turned out beautifully-with the EquityQuest team being one that exhibits great integrity and genuine concern from beginning to end of the building process. They were truly a pleasure to work with and we hope to have yet another opportunity to build with and through them in the future!” Kathy F.- Canby, OR

"We like them so much that we are going to use them for other projects!" Carol - Beaverton, OR

“I can't recommend EquityQuest highly enough. We were so impressed with their professionalism, honesty, and dedication to working through the inevitable issues that arise with construction. We could tell they really wanted us to be happy with our forever home. Shannon has a great sense for "value engineering" -- figuring out how to keep us within budget but maximizing our happiness with the end result. Our timeline expectations were well-managed, nothing was over-promised, and we are thrilled with the end result.” Adria D.- Milwaukie, OR

"The project managers are wonderful, and they have some of the best customer service skills I've ever seen; they handled things so quickly and were so great to deal with. They really cared."

"I am so very pleased."

“We decided on Equity Quest for our custom home because of their ability to absolutely nail the design of the home on the very first try. Shannon and Gina took several pages of notes and developed a plan that got it right from the get go. That quality of service followed through the construction process. Permits were on time and as promised, quality of craftsmanship and timing were right on track, communication was excellent, and we were very involved (by choice) in the entire process. I was able to use some personal contacts in the construction industry to some a bit of money and put a personal touch on our project and EQ was very open to that. It's well known that construction is always over budget and never on time. Not with Shannon at EQ. He's on top of it for coordination and budgeting. I'd absolutely use EQ again if the opportunity arises.” Mike P.- Estacada, OR

"They did a great job. We're very happy."

“Let me start by saying Equity Quest built our first home, so I have no comparison with other builders on a personal level. On a professional level I review building permits as well as access and water supply for all new construction and major remodels so I have a working understanding of the process. Shannon had to be the timeliest general I've had the privilege to work with. When he said six months from start to finish, he meant it...to the day. There were on site visits and check lists, subs were communicating with one another and everything marched out like a well written book. There were some hiccups along the way with windstorms gusting to near 100mph which caused a few "redos" along the way but everything worked out fine. I took advantage of some cost savings and finished out my own daylight basement (everything except plumbing, let the pros do that one). These savings allowed me to upgrade my interior finishes to hardwood floors and tile everywhere, happy wife...happy life. My brother in-law and I painted everything inside and out and it's been a pleasure to dwell in. I don't have a showcase home, rather a blue collar craftsman with large walk out decks to take in my views. Equity Quest built my family a fine home at a cost we could afford and most impressively, in six months from start to finish. I have given Shannon Amburn 5 Stars for his Equity Quest Homes business as it was well deserved.” Reuben D.-Tillamook, OR
