CLAYTON HOMES

March 9, 2020 – August 2, 2021

New Home Sales Professional

The manager pursued me to return to Clayton and made a very good offer. Over almost 18 months, I sold 19 homes with sales over $2 Million and received several awards. I left Clayton due to high-pressure sales and questionable deals out of our office. This particular store was interested in one thing – Money. I would not bow to the pressure of adding money to deals just to make an extra buck. I feel that I have high morals and I treated my customers with the utmost respect and was fully transparent in everything I did. The manager and I had different ideas of making this store successful and I was not going to do anything questionable. The training was lackluster and missed several key components that I should have known to conduct my business the right way.
