Delaware builder Marnie Oursler recognized for design

Luxury homebuilder Marnie Custom Homes of Bethany Beach has been awarded Best Of Houzz for design by Houzz, the leading online platform for home remodeling and design. The woman-owned and -operated business, known for intuitive design, superior customer service and sophisticated beach aesthetic, was chosen by the more than 25 million monthly unique users that comprise the Houzz community.

“We’re delighted to recognize Marnie Custom Homes among our 'Best Of' professionals,” said Liza Hausman, vice president of industry marketing for Houzz.

“This Valentine’s Day, our team is celebrating our amazing relationships with our clients, vendors and subcontractors. These relationships, based upon mutual trust, communication, and a good deal of humor and fun, are the reason we are recognized for excellence and the cornerstone of our success,” said Marnie Ousler of Marnie Custom Homes.

Aside from the positive relationships she’s built with her team and the homeowners they serve, Oursler also highlights the importance of the mentoring relationship to any female business owner, especially in a male-dominated industry.

Oursler recently addressed the New York University Stern Women in Business Conference, saying, “It’s crucial to find mentors who address your skill gaps. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable: find someone you respect and look up to and let them know you want to improve and learn from them. Then be ready to give back to someone else once you’re established.”
