The Best in the Business

Monte Hewett, President

In 2000, Monte Hewett founded Monte Hewett Homes, a builder of high-end, niche homes in the best parts of metro Atlanta, after running the Atlanta division of Highland Homes for more than a decade. Active in the industry since 1988, he brought to the table a commitment not only to building wonderful, luxurious homes, but also to building relationships and establishing a solid, long-lasting business of integrity.  Hewett is committed to creating a corporate environment where people want to work.  He has developed a strong, devoted team of corporate employees, subcontractors and real estate agents alike.

Monte Hewett was named the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of The Year in Real Estate and Construction for the Southeast in 2006. The honor recognized his dedication to both the industry and the community, where he supports organizations such as "Blueprint Sandy Springs," the Elena Golf Classic, HomeAid Atlanta, and Northside Youth Organization. Hewett also is a member of the Chastain Park Conservancy, a significant contributor to the Woodruff Arts Center and an active participant in family, church and school activities.

Greg Shiflett, Atlanta Division President

Aaron Sibly, VP of Operations

Aaron leads the smooth workflow in the purchasing department, selecting materials, pricing out each home, overseeing the purchasing and, perhaps most important to you, negotiating the best prices. After graduating from the University of Illinois-Chicago with a Bachelor's of Architecture, Aaron interned with a local architecture firm and began working in Monte Hewett Homes' customer service department. From there, he moved through the organization as an Assistant Builder, Builder and Operations Manager. This hands-on background gives him an understanding of the types of products that are required to build a home well, and he never skimps on quality to save a dollar.
