Looking At The Big Picture In Land with Chloe Firebaugh, Sr. Director of Land Acquisition at M/I Homes Tampa Bay

In today’s episode of She’s Wild Podcast, I am eager to introduce you to our guest Chloe Firebaugh. Chloe is the Senior Director of Land Acquisition for M/I Homes of Tampa, where she is responsible for managing the land acquisitions process for the division. She has more than 17 years of experience in the residential homebuilding industry, with knowledge in acquisitions, land planning, development, and community management. Chloe has been an active member of ULI and currently serves on the board for the Tampa Bay ULI Council. Prior to beginning her career in homebuilding, she worked for several years in the financial brokerage industry.

Throughout the episode, Chloe and I discuss the different facets of the land industry and how her experience led to her becoming the Senior Director of Land Acquisition for M/I Homes of Tampa. Chloe dives deep into various deals she has been a part of throughout the years and the lessons she learned working through various challenges.

Memorable Moments:
3:11- I've kind of done a little of everything in the Land Department, and I really love the acquisition side. I love deals and running numbers and figuring out how to make everything work.

11:01- I've learned to be my own best advocate, and push forward, and that's how I've gotten to where I am and in the industry today.

23:57- Land is the most expensive I've seen in my career, but then on top of that homebuilding pricing, the cost to build a house, now has gone up 30-40% since January.

30:50- I would just say for anybody thinking about getting into our industry do it. It's a lot of fun, and there is something for everyone.
