When I was 3 years old, I was sitting in the shopping carts asking complete strangers to go home with them, solely to go and look at their home. Old or new, interior, or exterior, I was and always have been so invested in learning and seeing what each home had to offer.
If I am being completely honest, I never thought it was possible to find a job that would fulfill my dream to work with homes. It wasn’t until the end of my Marketing Internship with SCS that I knew it was possible. SCS mentioned they were launching a single-family homes division and they were willing to give me a shot at this brand-new position titled Homes Concierge.
As you can see, I ended up taking the position. My position here at SCS entails being with one of our homes from the very beginning all the way to the end. I plan which floorplan and model is built, where it is built and if the subdivision will be aesthetically appealing. The next step is selecting interior and exterior finishes and materials. Exterior materials include but are not limited to shake, siding, board, and batten while interior materials include but are not limited to countertops, cabinetry, flooring, light fixtures, and tile. After everything is selected, I move to the next step of the process, working with the client to ensure the home has everything they want, make changes if applicable, and take them through the purchasing process. This is the part of the job that is very interesting to me. I graduated with a degree in communications; therefore, I find communicating with others very engaging. Every person, every home, every location is different, this allows me to do different things every day. While communicating with someone, you must read the situation, the person, and the home you are working with. There is not one way to communicate with a person rather there are several ways which makes every day different.
Graduating school and immediately stepping into this position has allowed me to use the knowledge I have and to learn from the other employees around me. If I have a question about any matter, I can always count on someone from SCS to know the answer. Every employee is always eager to help one another succeed which makes a great work environment.
Never in a million years did I think I would end up working in the position I am now. I never thought it was possible to do so many things I always loved to do. Needless to say, my three-year-old self would be very proud.
