About Echelon | History

Echelon Custom Homes was conceived and started by Chris Schell, President of Schell Brothers. It was his life long desire to build truly custom homes superior in standards and quality. To fulfill this dream, Echelon was born.

Chris, together with his twin brother Preston, co-founder and President of Ocean Atlantic Associates, have been working very hard to make a great impact on the housing market in Southern Delaware. Not only are they motivated by the excitement of providing excellent customer service and top quality homes, but also have made great strides in setting the standards for responsible land use and historical preservation through the Sussex County Land Trust.
