Kindred Homes is a partnership of Terry Horton, Trent Horton, Todd Miller, and Glen Bellinger. All of the partners have a deep history and passion for the home building industry.
Kindred Homes is founded on a legacy of homebuilding, the passion for housing courses through the partners that run it. As a young boy growing up in Arkansas, Terry Horton learned firsthand the value of a decent home. Raised initially in the tiny map dot of Zack, AR, he didn't even have indoor plumbing or a refrigerator. Even though Terry previously was a pharmacist in Marshall, he soon left for the great state of Texas to work with his brother who started a home building company.
Terry brought up his son, Trent Horton, in the home building industry and passed on his passion and wealth of knowledge at an early age. Trent wasn't even out of college when he received the Million Dollar Producer award in 1995. To say they are passionate about this industry is an understatement. Both strive to find ways to bring affordable housing to the buyers who need it yet provide a luxury product for the buyers who demand it.
After acquiring Wall Homes in 2009, Terry and Trent partnered with Glen Bellinger, a well-respected real estate attorney in the Dallas, TX area.
Glen has been integral in ensuring the integrity and standards of their partnership. In 2018, the partners restructured and renamed Wall Homes to form Horton Capital Properties, LLC, encompassing several real estate-centric holdings, including Kindred Homes.
Looking to grow, Trent knew he would need the expertise of another partner. After his initial conversation, Trent quickly gathered Todd Miller would be the person to lead the company in the right direction. Todd, at the time, was running his own homebuilding company, Glacier Custom Homes. Todd started his career in the home building sector over 20 years ago with Pulte Homes and then on to Beazer Homes as their DFW President.
After the 2008 housing downfall, Todd wasn't scared; he saw it as an opportunity for growth. That unprecedented vision for opportunity spurred Todd to go on his own. He said to himself, "if not now, when?" In 2010, Todd began the epic journey of entrepreneurship. Though Todd enjoyed running his business on his own, he saw another growth opportunity with Kindred Homes.
Glacier Custom Homes officially became a part of the HCP family of brands in the fall of 2019 and has brought a new and exciting product line to Kindred Homes. The Glacier brand and product has since transitioned to Kindred Home Legacy Series
Our Legacy Series offers buyers a custom home building experience with the building efficiency of production homes.

Everything about the building process exceeded our expectations. We absolutely recommend Kindred Homes to our friends and family because of the customer service, quality, and affordability."
“Your sales team, Melanie is “top notch”. From the first time we toured the Kindred home model, Melanie and Alicia were amazing! They were super available and helpful throughout the process. You can really tell customer service is top priority for them and as a buyer we found that really important. Kindred Homes sales team in Sunnyvale gets an A+ rating from our family. We love our neighborhood and we love our home!”
“The location, friendly neighborhood, friendly neighbors and friendly people to work with. Chris Torres is great, he always asks you if everything is okay. He is very cordial and someone you would like as a friend. They build good houses and use really good materials. My last home was a custom home, and this one beats my custom home. You have a really good guy in Chris.”

“We have had a great experience from our first visit until this point. Both Jessica and Jason have been incredible to work with. So quick to respond to any questions we’ve had, or offer solutions to any issues. They genuinely seem to love what they do and are all about excellent Customer service!!! Highly recommend our experience!!”
“If you want the best of the best, go see Christie Davison at Hidden Vista Kindred Homes! As my home was being built, there was never a question unanswered, an issued unresolved! Christie understood my needs in a home and she made sure everything was done right! Kindred builds beautiful homes with lots of upgrade options! The design center was great at guiding me through my choices and helped me create a beautiful home for my family!”
“While our process had a rocky start with the original sales agent, David Shaw came along and was a DREAM to work with. We are so thankful for his partnership in getting our home built.”
“Our experience was overall outstanding from the beginning of the process with Melanie Davis to our builder constructing our home, up to closing on our home.”
I had an outstanding experience Kindred Homes, and I can't recommend them highly enough! Our sales consultant, Chris Torres, was amazing—professional, transparent, and incredibly friendly. He made the entire process smooth and enjoyable from start to finish.
The whole Kindred team was exceptional, including the builder, lender, and title company. Each step was handled with care and expertise, making it a stress-free experience. If you're looking for a new home, I highly recommend reaching out to Chris and the Kindred team!
“Jason and Jessica were amazing to work with. They went above and beyond to build us the home we wanted.”
Back in January 2024 we met with Chris Torres about purchasing a new home. He showed us several floor plans. After much thought and consideration, we decided on the Agave with a 3rd car garage. Chris kept us up to date regularly along the way, even though we were at the build site almost daily. Justin our builder was easy to work with as well. He treated our home as if it was his own home. Ronald and Amanda was amazing to work with from start to closing on the financing side. We closed the middle of August and have lived in our new home for two weeks now. We picked kindred because we had the ability to pick our own style from the exterior to interior. Most builders don’t offer this option. From start to finish, the entire Kindred team was awesome. We are glad to be a part of the Kindred Family. Thanks Chris for keeping this process stress free.
“Christie Davison with Kindred homes is AMAZING! She made our new build house buying process in Burleson, TX seem less! Not only did she keep us updated weekly with pictures of the build progress, she also connected us with a great lender that worked with us to use our VA Home Loan! If you're looking for someone who genuinely cares about you, your family and your home buying journey, then Christie is the person for you.”
"We started our search for our dream home on the internet. What drove us to Kindred Homes was their affordable floor plans. We love our new home! Since the first day we moved in, it has felt like home. The final walk-thru exceeded our expectations because everything was ready. My family recommends Kindred Homes to all our friends and family because of the affordability and spaciousness of their homes. We are delighted and happy with our Kindred Home."
“We had a very great experience with Kindred Homes, Bobby Lavender was incredible. Christie and Tank are a dynamic duo! She truly goes above and beyond her job description and duties. We can’t thank Kindred enough for our wonderful home and the kindness shown to us even 3 months after we have moved in. Bobby and Christie still check in to see how we are doing and check in on our girls, they remember their names, activities they are involved with, and the school they go to. It’s those details that make a difference, and they are doing it right!”
“Overall, we were extremely impressed with Jason and Jessica. Both are great as communication, and keeping us updated with the process.”
“Chris took care of us from viewing to closing. He did a very good demo of the house. He was very open to any questions which we had a lot. The property manager is easy to work with in terms of warranty issues.”
From our sales rep to design to our builder everyone was just amazing! This is our first home and it was just a dream come true. I was always warned about the stress about buying a home but this was such a seamless experience and I absolutely loved it!
“The Salesperson, Chris, and the building supervisor have been very tentative to our needs after we moved in. They both responded professionally to the small issues we had.”
"Very smooth, and the builder and salespeople, Melanie and Alicia, were extremely helpful and passionate about our home being perfect for us.”
“We had a great experience. Jason and Jessica were very professional and helpful along the whole process. They made the process less stressful and answered all our questions.”
“My experience with Christie, the design team, closing, and builder was top-notch. Every time I called they got backed with me within 24 hours. I would also have to say I LOVE Tank as well. Seeing Christie’s dog always put a smile on my face every single time.”
“Christie Davison is so awesome! She is very knowledgeable and was always helpful finding answers to any of our questions. Bobby has been awesome too! All warranty work (what little there is) has been done quickly and efficiently. We love our new home. This is our 8th month here and we couldn’t be happier!”
Jennifer McDaniel made the process a very positive experience. William Engelbert also really helped to make our experience a positive one. He has continued to help us out with any issues we have been seeing since moving in and was transparent with us about what was going on with respect to some of the issues we saw in the last couple months before closing. Both Jennifer and William were completely professional and seemed to really care about getting things right for us and we were thankful to have them involved in this process.
“Jessica Moore and Jason Chlad were a pleasure to work with. They were professional and friendly. They keep us apprised during every step of the process, and Jason delivered us our dream home.”
Melanie and Alicia were terrific. Our builders, Marco and David have been great as well. The location and neighborhood couldn’t be better. The timing of the build was perfect for us…and finished quicker than we thought.
Fast service and fantastic built home. Love the floor plan, location and overall construction is great.
"We love our Kindred team they were amazing they went ABOVE and beyond for my family, we appreciate them and I would recommend 100%. We didn’t get to build this home from the bottom up but we would love to use them in the future for our forever home."
“As a real estate appraiser, I work with a lot of builders. The folks at Kindred Homes have been an absolute pleasure to work with - Easily one of the very best builders I have worked with in years. They have been responsive, polite, charismatic, and most importantly (to me) given me all information I have needed to aid in performing credible, accurate, and unbiased appraisal reports. If they treat their customers the way they have treated me and colleagues, then they are one heck of a good company.”
“We love our home, and we are so thankful for the Kindred team! We were building during the pandemic when supplies were low, and there were lots of delays outside of the builder's control, but we still felt like they always did their best to answer our questions, ease any concerns, and put in the hard work to make our home amazing! They continue to offer great service whenever we need to reach out with concerns.”
"Kindred Homes has been an absolute joy! They have knowledgeable staff, and unparalleled customer service and support. We would definitely recommend Kindred Homes to our family and friends!"
"We had a great experience during the buying and closing processes. This has been one of our best home-buying experiences!"
“Great experience for my clients buying a new home. Christie was our representative. She is amazing, and Tank was great, too. Been a Realtor for 34 years and this was an extremely smooth and easy transaction.”
“It was a wonderful and pretty simple experience. I would highly recommend Kindred Homes to anyone.”
“Everything was awesome! Chris and Jason were phenomenal and helped us every step of the way.”
“Christie Davison and Bobby Lavender are awesome! Christie was very professional and super helpful throughout the whole process of purchasing and the building of my home. Bobby my builder is amazing and he is “Johnny on the spot” whenever I called or had questions or concerns. Love my home! Thank you Christie and Bobby!”
“Overall, we had a great experience! You guys were professional, quick and on top of everything!”
“This will be our forever home. The quality in the home is beyond measure. We are proud we brought our home from Kinderd Homes.”
Overall we were very satisfied with our experience building a home with Kindred. Jason, our builder, specifically was a joy to work with and was a great partner along the way.
Everything was wonderful!! We love the exterior, the floor plan, and the insulation in the attic so it doesn’t get to be 150 degrees! The back porch is awesome as well.
