Senior Director, Land Development and Planning

Love the Journey

We approach the employee experience the same way we approach the customer experience. Buying a new home can be rewarding, challenging, and, ultimately, life changing.

A new home is not just one of the largest purchases made in a lifetime; it becomes a defining part of the buyer. The employee experience is no different and our deep devotion to our people propels everything we do.

For us to deliver an unparalleled customer experience and drive the business with immense growth ahead, we require a unique mix of unbelievably rare people.

The adage of work hard, play hard is one that is often said but rarely lived. As with any hard-fought victories or defeats, taking moments to celebrate together is paramount.
