I worked with homeowners to sell remodeling services like kitchens, bathrooms, home additions, ADUs, and full-house renovations. Handled the full sales process from the first call to contract signing—conducting in-home consultations, assessing project needs, and providing creative ideas within the client’s budget. Collaborated with estimators and project managers to build accurate quotes and proposals, then presented them in a clear, customer-friendly way. Helped guide clients through scope, pricing, and timelines, while handling questions and negotiating terms to close deals. Built strong client relationships and stayed involved through handoff to the production team to ensure a smooth experience. Comfortable discussing construction details, working around existing home layouts, and managing a wide range of project types.
