The Best Home Builders in Nashville
Each year, the Home Builders Association of Southeastern Michigan (HBA) recognizes a standout organization that exemplifies excellence in residential development, industry leadership, and community impact.
The Developer of the Year award is presented to a builder that demonstrates strong market performance, responsible growth, and a commitment to advancing the homebuilding industry across the state.
M/I Homes of Michigan is proud to announce that we have been named 2025 Developer of the Year by the HBA. This prestigious honor reflects the collective efforts of our entire Michigan team and reinforces our mission to build better homes and stronger communities throughout the region.
This award also builds on a history of industry recognition for M/I Homes in Michigan. In 2022, our team was named Bert L. Smokler Builder of the Year: a distinction that spotlighted the strength of our operations, partnerships, and market performance in the state. That momentum continues today with the Developer of the Year award, underscoring our long-term commitment to quality, people-centric communities, and leadership in Michigan’s new home market.
A Recognition of Growth, Leadership, and Community Impact
Relatively new to the Michigan market, M/I Homes entered the state in 2018 and has quickly established itself as a trusted builder serving Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties. Today, M/I Homes of Michigan ranks among the state’s largest builders and continues to expand across Southeast Michigan.
Our Michigan division currently has over 10 communities, with several new neighborhoods opened in recent years and additional communities planned for the future. This continued growth is rooted in a people-first approach—one that prioritizes quality construction, homeowner satisfaction, and responsible land development.
Beyond the homes we build, M/I Homes is deeply committed to environmental stewardship and giving back. Across our developments, more than 25% of land is preserved as open space, and nationally, M/I Homes supports charitable organizations such as Pelotonia, helping fund critical cancer research. These values play a meaningful role in how we grow and how we serve the communities where we build.
Industry Leadership That Makes a Difference
In addition to development excellence, M/I Homes of Michigan is actively involved in advancing the homebuilding industry. Leadership from our team contributes to ongoing conversations around housing affordability, workforce development, and sustainable growth to help shape a stronger future for Michigan homebuyers and builders alike.
Being recognized by the HBAM is especially meaningful because it reflects the respect and support of peers throughout the industry.
Celebrating Individual Excellence: Courtney Tobin Recognized with Sales Achievement Award
Alongside this division-wide honor, we’re thrilled to celebrate Courtney Tobin, New Home Consultant with M/I Homes of Michigan, who was recognized by the HBA with a Sales Achievement Award as part of the 2025 Sales & Design Achievement Competition.
Courtney’s recognition highlights her exceptional performance, professionalism, and dedication to helping homebuyers navigate the new construction journey with confidence. Her achievement is a testament to the strength of our sales team and the high level of service M/I Homes homeowners experience every day.
Thank You to Our Team, Partners, and Homeowners
This Developer of the Year recognition is the result of countless contributions—from sales and construction to land development, marketing, and operations. We’re grateful for the trust of our homeowners, the collaboration of our trade partners, and the dedication of our Michigan team members, who continue to raise the bar year after year.
As we look ahead, M/I Homes of Michigan remains committed to thoughtful growth, industry leadership, and building high-quality homes designed for the way people live today.
