The Cobblestone Story

Melissa and Mark Wahl


Our fascination with homes goes way back. When we were dating in high school, we bought books, videos -- any information we could get our hands on -- to learn more about real estate. Soon after graduation, we bought our first house, fixed it up and rented it out.

 

Our constant thirst for knowledge led to our dedication to building environmentally friendly and energy efficient homes

We continued to buy, remodel and rent out homes, but when we met some dear friends in Oklahoma, our mission changed: We would go from improving to creating. Those friends, residential home builders themselves, helped get us started in home building and encouraged us to meet builders in our home state of Michigan. In 2002, we built our first house. A passion was born.


We felt so strongly that we had found our life’s calling that we sold all our properties – even our own home – and moved into a 500-square-foot apartment in our horse barn to finance the start of Cobblestone Homes. It paid off. Today our reward is seeing how much our clients love and cherish their home-building process with us. Many of those homeowners are now our friends.


Our constant thirst for knowledge – Mark has a degree in business management, Melissa in education – led to our dedication to building environmentally friendly and energy efficient homes. The more we learned, the more aware we became of how limited our natural resources are. We dedicated ourselves to building affordable, quality homes that help preserve these precious resources and leave fewer environmental footprints.


We realize you have a choice when it comes to who will build your home, and we are confident that our entire Cobblestone team – from the electricians, to the plumbers, to the heating and cooling specialists – will make you glad you’ve chosen us. Our people care about more than the house – we’re here to make it your home.


We look forward to working with you.
