Our History as a Premier New Home Builder

For 80 years, Robertson Homes has been elevating the Metro Detroit landscape by building high-quality homes and first-rate communities.

Founded in 1945 by brothers Covert Robertson and Paul Robertson Sr., Robertson Homes has been building quality homes and thoughtfully planned communities across Metro Detroit for 80 years. The company’s second generation—led by Paul C. Robertson Jr. alongside his brother David W. Robertson—expanded that original vision, strengthening Robertson Homes’ reputation for craftsmanship, integrity, and neighborhood-focused design. Their leadership helped shape Robertson Homes into one of Michigan’s longest-standing new home builders.

Meet Our Dedicated Team

Today, Robertson Homes is guided by a seasoned leadership team that blends generational continuity with modern strategy. CEO James V.

Neubecker brings nearly two decades of financial and operational leadership, helping align strategic planning with day-to-day execution. COO Robert M. Doil’s career with Robertson Homes began as an intern, and his hands-on experience across nearly every facet of construction provides a builder’s perspective that reinforces the company’s commitment to quality and efficiency.

What Our Homebuyers Are Saying

It was never our intention to build a home and it was just curiosity that made us stop in and look. After meeting and talking with Brooks Belhart we decided we would build! He was ALWAYS available to answer any question almost immediately and was very knowledgeable about the various models. He made the process completely stress free! We absolutely LOVE our house! It was a great experience initially working with Malcolm. He always kept us informed. Once the house was turned over to Jem to complete, again the process was awesome. I can't even express how helpful Jem has been. Even after moving in both Jem and Brooks have gone out of their way to answer any questions we still have and immediately try to resolve any concerns. Words alone cannot express how happy we are with our home and that is because of the personal attention from both Brooks and Jem.
