Sabé Homes

What Sabé Homes does

Sabé Homes, LLC is a Flagstaff, Arizona-based, privately-held general contractor and dealer founded in 2014 by Steve Dohse and Shelley Smithson. The company designs, sells, and installs factory-built manufactured and modular homes—available in single-wide, double-wide, and triple-wide configurations—primarily serving first-time homebuyers, second-home buyers, and real estate investors across Central and Northern Arizona. It complements core home sales with accessory dwelling units (ADUs), custom garages, decks, porches, and home additions, plus design and permit-handling services delivered as a full-service package.

The underlying technology relies on HUD-code manufactured and state/local-code modular construction sourced through supply partnerships with Cavco West and Clayton Homes, two of the largest factory-built homebuilders in the Southwest. Featured builds include energy-efficient specifications such as R-50 blown ceiling insulation, R-21 wall and R-22 floor insulation, Energy Star stainless steel appliances, tankless water heaters, high-performance windows, and passive solar heating/cooling plus passive rainwater collection. The company emphasizes that factory construction produces up to 50% less waste than on-site building and that its homes cost approximately half as much per square foot as conventional site-built homes.

Sabé's business model is one-time project sales on a quote-based, pay-as-you-go cadence, with final pricing driven by home size, features, installation location, and upgrades. Go-to-market is sales-led: direct outreach via phone (928-351-1105), website inquiry forms, and in-person consultations from the 2205 East 7th Avenue headquarters, supported by portfolio photography and customer testimonials. A multi-lender ecosystem—CountryPlace Mortgage, Guild Mortgage, and CrossCountry Mortgage—provides buyers with land-home, construction, and down-payment-assistance financing. The firm is licensed and bonded through the Arizona Department of Housing and operates with a headcount of 1–10.
