Miami Valley NARI Tour of Remodeled Homes


The fourth annual Tour of Remodeled Homes is scheduled for April 9-10 2011. Each project will be opened proudly to the public for a first hand view of the fine work and professional standard each Miami Valley NARI member holds themselves to. An actual onsite visit to a remodeled home or business has so much greater impact than mere pictures could ever have.


With today's challenging economy and the ever fluctuating terms of real-estate, more and more people are deciding to create their dream home without changing their address. It's our goal to reach as many of these home owners as we can, to increase the overall marketplace.
