A Dream Fulfilled.
Founder & Owner, Buddy Edwards grew up working for his father’s land development and engineering firm in Charlottesville, VA. Along the way, Buddy gained valuable insight and experience in engineering, surveying, real estate development and business management. He was accepted into a highly competitive national program at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (Virginia Tech) and graduated with a B.S. in Building Construction. His dream was to eventually blend this fundamental land development and engineering knowledge into the realm of luxury home building, but he was in high demand in a much larger industry. His commercial career would broaden his unique skill set and expertise to eventually set him apart in custom home construction.
For over a decade, he led a diverse portfolio of multimillion-dollar design-build commercial and industrial projects along the U.S. Eastern Seaboard for a Fortune 500 global engineering and construction firm. His projects included water treatment plants, hydro-electric power plants, tunnels, aqueducts and military weapons testing facilities. These highly complex projects ranged in value from $5M to $100M. As VP of Construction, Buddy managed a 170-acre mixed-use development project that was nationally recognized for its implementation of land conservation, new urbanism and traditional neighborhood development. It was then that he realized it was time to fulfill his dream with much to offer.
In 2006 Buddy founded Lynn Luxury Homes, specializing in in high-end custom homes and remodeling. There is no other luxury home builder in Charlotte with Buddy's extensive background in land development, engineering and high-end construction. He has maintained an unlimited license in both commercial and residential construction in North Carolina for two decades. Size, scope and complexity are simply non-issues.
His company, named after his wife Amie Lynn, is an exclusive boutique firm. Buddy is just as selective as his clients. Being hands-on over volume growth is his choice. Homeowners work directly with him from start to finish. His satisfaction is in the pride and passion for best execution. His reward is the trust he earns and the relationships he builds. And with the way things are going, his business is on track to becoming a family business one day too!

What Our Clients are Saying...
“After living in our home for the past few months, we are amazed at the quality and craftsmanship that is on display in our dream home! From the initial help with lot selection until he handed us our keys, Buddy made our process very relaxed and fun. There is a definite challenge in trying to get everything you want in a home and be able to stay within your budget. Buddy was just as good a steward of our money as we were by offering creative ways to achieve the design/look we wanted without exceeding our budget. The one thing that still stands out to us is Buddy’s attention to detail about EVERY single nook and cranny in our house. If something wasn’t perfect, then Buddy wasn’t going to approve it. This allowed us to have a certain sense of calmness about the project that we never expected to have. We went into this venture purely expecting it to be transactional…but ended up with a new friend in Buddy. He is down-to-earth and genuinely worries about how happy you’re going to be. That personality and conviction to the most important build project of our lives really resonated with us. I would highly recommend Buddy and Lynn Luxury Homes to anyone who is looking to build their custom dream home. We can’t thank him enough! “

"There was frankly no other builder out there to consider once we met Buddy Edwards. With his leadership, our 10-year vision finally took shape. It was no small feat getting our home to flow and the layout to fit so perfectly on our challenging waterfront lot. Not only does he get to know his clients' vision, and does his best to always reflect that vision, but he also knows when and where to jump in and advise if another direction should be considered. He maintains a steadfast focus on budget, timeline and top quality materials. Almost three years into our home now, we are pleased to say that we would not change a thing. We consider Buddy and his family trusted friends who are always welcome in our forever home."

"We began last fall with visions of a new home and a custom home builder who was a complete stranger, and finished last month with our dream retirement home and a treasured new friend...We selected Lynn Luxury Homes as our custom home builder prior to purchasing our lot and designing our home. This collaborative approach to our project saved us time and money, and the added value to the project was absolutely priceless. Buddy's positive energy and hands on management style creates a great atmosphere for everyone on the job site. His workers and tradesmen included only the best of the best, and his high expectations of them resulted in superior workmanship... Buddy Edwards is a super-star of the construction industry and we cannot overstate how highly we recommend him and Lynn Luxury Homes."

“Heather and I want to express our sincerest thanks to you for the exceptional job you did for us. From our initial conversations about building to the day you turned the keys over to us, we were more than customers, you made us your partners... Your level of professionalism from start to finish was unparalleled! From your meticulous organization and attention to detail to your easy-going lunchtime laughter we have been truly blown away by your service. Your price was competitive, but your service and performance were first of class! Thank you for demonstrating your commitment to excellence and making this project a smooth and successful one. In the end, it doesn't matter which room we walk into, we can see your fingerprint of excellence and extreme attention to detail and it makes us smile. We smile because we know that it's so much more than a job to you, and it's so much more than a project to us!”

"I purchased a new spec home built by Lynn Luxury Homes. I have been in Real Estate Lending for 31 years. For my own peace of mind I asked a licensed inspector and family friend to perform a home inspection. He has been performing home inspections for about as long as I have been lending. He commented that this was one of the best quality homes he had ever inspected and was surprised that it was not a home that I had contracted them to custom build. If in the future I have a need for a new custom home I would not consider anyone but Lynn Luxury Homes."
