An Interview with Greg Sebastian, President of SHBA

Tell us a little about yourself and your role with SHBA.

My name is Greg Sebastian, and I currently serve as the President of the Shawnee Home Builders Association (SHBA). I’ve been involved in this industry for many years, and I’m passionate about supporting local builders and the future of home construction in our community. 

What is the mission of the Shawnee Home Builders Association?

Our mission is to raise awareness about the excellent homebuilders we have right here in Shawnee and to highlight the quality homes being built in our area. 

Who are the members of SHBA?

Our membership includes a wide range of professionals from the construction industry—builders, vendors, subcontractors, and suppliers. We’re a group of everyday people working to make a positive impact on our industry and our community. 

How does SHBA support local builders and the construction industry?

We host regular meetings that often include guest speakers who share insights from the industry. These gatherings are a great way to stay informed about trends, events, and changes at both the local and state levels. 

Why should someone in the construction industry consider joining SHBA?

SHBA provides a platform for builders, subcontractors, and suppliers to connect, learn from one another, and better understand each other’s methods. While we may build differently, we all share the same goal: to deliver quality homes. 

What kind of value does SHBA bring to the broader community?

In short—jobs. The home building industry supports economic growth and helps drive workforce development in Shawnee and Pottawatomie County. 

How does SHBA promote high standards among its members?

We foster a network of experienced professionals who share their knowledge with newer members. This kind of mentorship helps raise the bar for quality, professionalism, and ethical practices in the industry. 

What role does collaboration play in SHBA’s success?

Working with partners like Shawnee Forward strengthens our ties within the community and creates more opportunities for growth. These partnerships help raise our visibility and contribute to the overall well-being of our region. 

What should someone look for when choosing a builder?

Look for experience, quality of work, and reputation in the community. Communication is also essential—it’s important to build a strong relationship with your builder. 

How can someone get involved with SHBA?

It’s easy. Talk to a current member and fill out a short application. Once submitted, the application is reviewed by our board. We welcome new members who are committed to building a stronger industry and community. 

What does the future look like for Shawnee’s housing market?

The local market is strong and shows promise for continued growth in the coming years. There’s a lot of opportunity on the horizon for builders and homeowners alike. 

Is there anything else you'd like people to know about SHBA?

We’d love for more people to get involved. If you’re passionate about building quality homes and investing in the future of our community, SHBA is a great place to connect, learn, and make a difference.

Greg Brown Homes

Greg Brown has spent almost 30 years building in the Shawnee area.  After college, Greg and Christine lived and worked in Oklahoma City and eventually moved to Tennessee, where Greg worked in the building business.  In the late 1980s, Greg moved his young family back to Oklahoma to go into business with his father, Tom Brown.  Together, they developed Windmill Ridge Addition with over 250 single-family homes.  Greg is currently developing Wyndemere, his latest addition in Shawnee. We build with pride and precision craftsmanship, blending timeless design, highly functional floor plans, and the latest lifestyle amenities to provide you with an exceptional living environment.  This family pride is evident during each step of construction. We enjoy long-term industry relationships with leading designers, suppliers and loyal contractors that have been strengthened over the years by our focus on product and business ethics. These relationships are vital to the success of every one of our homes and additions. Since buying a home is probably the largest financial commitment that you will ever make, your choice of a homebuilder is very important. Beginning with your first visit and continuing through customer service after you move in, we will do everything we can to make your home-buying experience a pleasure. From the carefully planned design and construction of your new home to the courteous and caring service you receive from every member of our team, you will benefit from our tradition of excellence, which has earned us one of the industry’s finest reputations. Design, location, and consideration for your tastes and lifestyle all work together with equal importance. We handle your entire project with care, from site selection through design to financing. We extend an invitation to those of you who are looking for a new home…you can be assured that we have the expertise to do the job.

A Certified Professional Builder is a designation offered through the Oklahoma Home Builders Association that identifies builders committed to best practices, professional development, and accountability. CPBs maintain liability and workers' compensation insurance, follow code standards, and complete continuing education to stay current with industry trends and techniques. 


When selecting a builder, we recommend the following:

  • Confirm they are a member of the Shawnee Homebuilders Association.
  • Review their portfolio and experience with the type of home you want.
  • Ensure they carry the proper insurance (General Liability, Builders Risk, Workers' Compensation).
  • Ask if they offer a written contract and home warranty.
  • Request references, and follow up with those references.

Choosing a builder from SHBA ensures you’re working with professionals who meet high standards.
