Bill Martin
Entrepreneur

Lifelong entrepreneur, Bill Martin knows the dedication and commitment it takes to create a strong business that greatly benefits the community. Family is vitally important and employees of Martin Signature Homes are not only considered family members, but all share his vision to provide a gorgeous home and a phenomenal wealth of experience. When you are considering the build of your new home, you can trust that your interests and design inspiration are well represented by MSH throughout the process. In 2002, Bill Martin brought a unique market-specific program, *Owner Builder, to the Shreveport/Bossier Metro – and found that there is a market of home seekers that are more than willing to take on the extra work to coordinate, document and manage their own build…with help. In addition to the gracious program structure, Owner Builder also provides a service to take your home into the dry for you. In addition, we have recently added a phenomenal new aspect to the program – a full time Superintendent and dedicated office staff to help you coordinate every aspect of the build. After a decade, many adjustments to better service our clients and over 250 homes built, Martin Signature Homes entered the marketplace in Louisiana to serve our clients who desired a turnkey project. The opportunity to expand to Little Rock, Arkansas came when a client insisted “only MSH would do” and through the past few years, with its truly unique “signature,” Martin Signature Homes has settled into providing luxurious homes in the West Little Rock area. Bill Martin often tells his clients, “Call me anytime…but just CALL ME.” With a myriad of options, details, subcontractors, suppliers and steps in the build of a luxury custom home – there’s always a lot to consider at any given moment. Bill Martin approaches these considerations with the mantra that grace goes a long way toward putting all the details together over the months needed to take a project from start to finish. Son of a retired pastor, and long-time Calvary Youth Football Coach & Administrator, it is evident Bill Martin most enjoys building relationships with his community & his clients.

*The MSH Owner Builder program is restricted to the Louisiana area (and some far East Texas areas) only.

Teresa Maddison
VP Arkansas Accounts

With a passion for planning and design, Teresa serves as an interior design consultant, helping as you consider the hundreds of options available within your personal design aesthetic. She is very active in helping you develop plans and finalize the look of your new home. Great care is taken to understand how you plan to LIVE in your space, as this truly determines all the tiny details of your plans that are so important to family life.

Leigh Funderburk
Design Assistant

Born and raised an Arkansan, Leigh discovered a love for art and the outdoors at a young age. Drawing, watercolor, and calligraphy were some of her favorite hobbies.
Entering University of Arkansas at Little Rock, she majored in marketing. Life intervened and she served in various capacities of ministry for 27 years in New Orleans, Georgia, Missouri, North Carolina and Maryland. Upon returning to Little Rock in 2012, her desire was to be integral in the world of home construction. In the midst of growth and change in the Arkansas division of Martin Signature Homes, Leigh was introduced to Teresa Maddison and a friendship was forged.

“I look forward to growing in creativity and knowledge of this amazing custom field to provide our clientele the support they deserve.”  – Leigh

Ashlin Thompson
Full Charge Bookkeeper

At Martin Signature Homes, I am the office assistant and the contact for our clients once their construction gets underway. I coordinate bank draws, and anything else that may be needed when a client calls in. When I am away from my desk at MSH, I am at my desk at home as a student pursuing a degree in business administration at Louisiana State University – Shreveport. I’m newly married and have two fur children, Holley and Tripper, who are both rescues. In my free time I enjoy spending my time racing – I have been NASCAR licensed in the past, but I currently just help my husband with his car at the local dirt tracks.
