Why McCall Homes | Billings, MT

The Unlikely Vision that Became Reality

McCall Homes Story

Our Mission: Empower people. Build community.

In 1993, Jim McCall left the pool business to become a home builder and developer. After his three children—civic-minded Greg, ever-curious Brad and erudite Carolee—grew up and graduated college, they joined him one by one. After gaining some experience building homes in a growing subdivision on the west end of Billings, MT, the McCalls all felt a driving need to create something meaningful and unique. Quality homes were always a given, but what about a development designed to be not just a neighborhood, but a community where families could grow and truly be involved with their neighbors?

Decades later, this vision is stronger than ever, as the McCall family continues to promote their mission statement each and every day in their newest community, Annafeld.

From our Homeowners

Dan kept us up to date every week with what was going on in our house and always responds promptly when we have questions or concerns.

Evan & Larissa Cook

From design with Jody, to the entire build process with Eddy, timelines were executed flawlessly, communication was on par, and if there were any pinch points during the build, I wouldn’t have known!

Lindsey Byars

We have had several questions and all have been communicated and answered quickly. The McCall team knows their stuff about building homes and neighborhoods.We are looking forward to moving into our new home in Annafeld. Highly recommend everyone on their team.

Kandace & Owen Siebert

Jody (the designer) was amazing to work with. She knew exactly what areas needed to be covered and kept us on track as well as having the experience to offer her suggestions when we had specific design questions. It couldn’t have been any easier to design our home from top to bottom!!

Co-Owner

Brad McCall

Co-owner, Brad McCall, works his tail off to help make McCall Homes run like a well-oiled machine—and he wouldn’t want it any other way! His problem-solving abilities and outside-the-box thinking are what ensure the past, present, and future success of McCall Homes. He is a jack-of-all-trades with an affinity for innovation, from flow charts to the latest productivity app. Brad is the company expert in building science, energy efficiency, and product development. Brad wears many hats, but never sacrifices quality for quantity; each of his roles carries value in relation to the rest of the team. When Brad isn’t working, he and his wife, Kelsey, can often be seen chasing their three rambunctious boys down the sidewalks of Josephine Crossing.

Co-Owner

Carolee (McCall) Smith

Remember how George from the Beatles was the “quiet one”? Carolee (McCall) Smith, co-owner of McCall Homes, is perceived and admired by many in the same way. When with her brothers, she has a hard time getting a word in edgewise. Her quiet resignation, however, hides a vast wealth of knowledge. Carolee has just as much experience in home building as her brothers, a naturally astute eye for interiors, and a memory as sharp as a tack. Her ability to remember paint colors for all the homes she’s designed is almost superhuman! But that’s not her only superpower: She’s a mom of three adorable kids, whom she raises with her helpful husband Chris.

Co-Owner

Greg McCall

Greg McCall, co-owner of McCall Homes, is an experienced builder and long-time resident of Josephine Crossing. Among the neighbors, he is commonly referred to as, “The Mayor”. In the office, Greg manages the growing team at McCall Homes and helps Brad and Carolee plan the future of the company. Having grown up in Billings then graduated from the University of Montana, Greg is proud of his home state. As much as he loves being a Montanan, he adores raising his family of four along with his wife, Erin, in the neighborhood they conceived and built.

New Home Specialist

Jay Deeney

Jay was drawn to McCalls by his love of working with people. His upbeat attitude and passion for the McCall communities makes him an enormous asset to our team. You can be assured Jay has your best interests in mind when you talk to him.; he is as genuine as he is kind. Jay’s thorough knowledge of real estate investment comes from personal experience in managing his own properties. He and his wife, Lana, raised their two sons in Billings. Now grown, the proud parents enjoy keeping in touch with the two successful young men they brought up.

New Home Specialist

Jerred Bies

Brad and Carolee first met Jerred when he and his fiancé, Karli, attended the couple’s first-time homebuyer workshop. Though they lived initially in Bozeman due to family ties in Billings, the Bies have since bought their first home in Annafeld. Passionate and gregarious, Jerred recently earned his real estate license before joining the McCall team. His fun personality and social intelligence make him invaluable as well as easy to work with. The company is thrilled to have him on our team. In other great news, he and his wife just adopted another Yorkie!

His favorite thing about working here? “Being a part of building each and every home.”

Roger is from Billings and his first job was in the Parks & Recreation Department. Casual and humble, he is “the guy” who built the pipe and wood shelves and desks in our offices. When this great guy is not building and fixing stuff, he is usually wearing waders and fishing one of Montana’s streams.

Andrew loves building homes and most of the homes in Josephine Crossing feature his handiwork. He is originally from Gardiner, MT and worked his first job at a sub shop. Andrew and his wife just celebrated the arrival of their first baby.

Superintendent

Dan Montgomery

Dan moved here from Bothell, WA in 2016. He first started as a homebuyer with McCall, but when we found out he was also skilled in homebuilding, we jumped to hire him!
