New Home Sales Consultant

Also called: Onsite New Home Sales Agent, Builder Sales Counselor

Works inside a model home for a home builder, selling houses that are not built yet and guiding buyers through lots, floor plans and upgrades.

A day in the life

On Saturday morning you unlock the model home, turn on the lights and greet a young family. You walk them through the floor plans, drive the golf cart out to show empty lots and explain how much the quartz counters add. Later you call buyers whose houses are being framed to give construction updates.
