(Raleigh, NC – March 1, 2016) In 1976, Melvin and Irving Schottenstein founded M/I Homes on a very simple premise: if you take care of the customer, everything else will take care of itself. Today, as the company celebrates its 40th anniversary, it’s been proven beyond a doubt.

The founder’s idea of customer care permeates everything that M/I does and underscores why M/I has been “Building trust for 40 years.”

“Taking care of the customer means many things. It encompasses a commitment to quality, working as a team and operating at a higher standard. In addition, it calls for designing homes that fit the way people really live today,” said Ed Kristensen, M/I Area President. “We build our homes using the latest techniques in building science to deliver a better-built, energy efficient home with lasting value.”

Kristensen also shared that “We’ve developed our own, exclusive Whole Home Building Standards. Building homes that we’d be proud to live in ourselves is another way we treat our customers right.”

What started as a family business in Columbus Ohio has grown to include 14 markets in 9 states in just a single generation.

M/I has been in the Triangle marketplace for over 25 years, with the company breaking ground on its first home here in 1989. The company has been a leading builder in the Triangle for many years.

“We never take a minute to rest on our laurels. We never stop refining our processes. We’re always searching for the latest innovations to make our homes even better,” said Kristensen “We may be 40 years old, but we’re just getting started.”
