The Leadership Behind White Oak

Finn Smith
Founder - Owner
At the heart of White Oak Signature Homes is its founder and owner, Finn Smith, whose passion and dedication have shaped the company into what it is today. Finn’s journey in the construction industry began during his college years at the University of Georgia, where he worked hands-on with framing, roofing, and landscaping crews. This early experience gave him a solid foundation in homebuilding, and upon graduating, Finn quickly advanced into leadership roles within the industry.
Finn’s time as an area manager for a major production homebuilder allowed him to oversee large-scale residential projects while gaining valuable expertise in purchasing, estimating, and operational management. It was during this period that he began developing his signature approach to quality and efficiency. His entrepreneurial spirit eventually led him to purchase lots in Athens, Georgia, where he built a successful craftsman-style community, marking the beginning of his venture into custom home construction.
Despite the challenges of the 2008 recession, Finn’s vision and determination allowed him to adapt and thrive. By launching White Oak Signature Homes, he combined his knowledge of both production and custom building to create a company dedicated to delivering exceptional homes with unmatched attention to detail. Under his leadership, White Oak has completed over 1,000 projects and continues to set the standard for excellence in residential construction.
