HAPPY SMALL BUSINESS WEEK FROM ECHELON HOMES

As my husband and the owner of Echelon Homes likes to say, “we made it through one of the worst economic downturns and we are still here”.  Going stronger than ever too in new home building!  So that being said, Happy Small Business Week from Echelon Homes!

Yes it started similar to many other small businesses (well kind of).  Rick Elkow was funding the building of a few new construction homes around South Lyon with his partner at the time.  They had a General Contractor overseeing the construction of each home.  Things changed quickly and bye bye went their General Contractor.

​And hence, Rick got his license, became a home builder and has enjoyed the ride of it all ever since.  Wow, that was back in the 90’s and here we are today with three new home communities and another one in the works, projecting to build 35 new homes in 2013.

As I perused the internet today I came across a quote from Audrey Hepburn “Nothing is impossible, the work itself says I’m possible”.  I have read this quote many times and I have always liked it.   However, as I sat at my computer trying to think of reasons you may want to build a home with Echelon Homes and learn more about us, this quote meant more to me today than ever before.  Now do I think Rick has ever really watched a movie that Audrey Hepburn was in let alone the ever popular Breakfast at Tiffany’s?  That is a definite NO.   He has, however, truly embraced the I’m possible attitude and that shows in every home we build and the amazing Echelon Homes team he has created.

So when someone tells you it’s impossible, please thank them and say why YES I’m possible!  Hope to see you soon at one of Echelon’s communities in Lyon Township, Commerce Township and Howell, and just for fun tell them Audrey sent you…
