Here is a little backstory of my love affair with M/I Homes: In 2015 Will and I were on the hunt for the right home for our family. We had needs and wants but we also had a budget (gets you every time). We knew we wanted to build and were pretty set on location; however, the builder was up in the air. We toured and toured model home after model home, spec home after spec home until one fateful day, on my own, I walked into the M/I model home (knowing they were new to our area) and called Will before I even made it back to my car. I told him, "this builder fits in line with our style and budget perfectly, and they have several floor plans we can work with". Looking at their website we were able to locate all of their model homes in our area and we visited every single one (trust me, we were known in the M/I community after our tour of homes). We met with Ursula, our amazing sales rep, and were thrilled with the possibilities M/I could provide us with. If you have ever built a home you know that the term "base price" should be used VERY loosely. With M/I Homes we were pleasantly surprised they were not the norm. Now, don't get me wrong, Will and I did some big upgrades (third car garage, turning a half bath into a full, and making an office a bedroom) and some minor upgrades (hardwood tile throughout, customizing tile work in kitchen and baths, etc...). But, a lot of the wow factors were base price options with M/I (i.e.: 42" custom cabinets, 8 ft. doors, tankless water heaters, covered patios, 5 1/4" baseboards, granite counter tops throughout, etc..). This, along with their well deisgned floor plan options and aesthetics made it the perfect fit for our family. Their website says it perfectly, "each home has been built with uncompromising quality, innovative design and enduring value in the best, most desirable locations possible. M/I Homes believes the more you know about the home building and buying process, the more comfortable you'll be."
