Building Great Things Together

Meet the CarsonSpeer Team

Every homebuilding journey starts with building a relationship, and every good relationship begins with great people. Our family-owned company is built on trust, clear communication, and a genuine relationship with each of our clients. It all began over a decade ago when partners Steve Carson and James Speer joined forces to create what would immediately become a preeminent custom luxury home builder in Upstate South Carolina.

We think you’ll enjoy working with our team at CarsonSpeer—people who are as dedicated to your vision as you are. Together, we’ll create a home that reflects your unique personality and lifestyle, making the journey as rewarding as the destination.

Meet the people who will turn your vision into a reality.

JAMES SPEER
PARTNER, CUSTOM HOME BUILDER

After earning a Construction Science and Management degree from Clemson University, James spent several years in commercial construction with Beers-Skanska. He became a licensed general contractor in 1999. James has served as president of the Home Builders Association of Greenville. He was also named Builder of the Year in Greenville in 2018.

In 2002, James founded Speer Homes, a highly sought-after custom home building and remodeling company in Orlando, Florida. In 2012, James and his wife Barbra decided they wanted to make Greenville home for their family and joined the Carsons in creating CarsonSpeer.

During his tenure at Speer Homes, James developed a philosophy of limiting the number of homes he would build each year. In this way, he could devote personal attention to every project. It’s a philosophy James and Steve share today.
