New Job

I got a new job! Like 25 people interviewed and I got it! I am pretty excited but it has been a ton of work.

We have a brand new community in Ammon (suburb of Idaho Falls) and it is the first Master Planned community around here. I am especially excited because this is the kind of neighborhood that we are used to living in and have missed living in something like it (parks, walking trails, tennis courts, pool, clubhouse, etc).

The neighborhood is called Hawks Landing and you can check it out at www.myhawkslanding.com. Anyways, the neighborhood is split up into 3 types of homes - Mansion Twin Homes (town homes or duplexes depending on where you are from), Parkview Homes (homes that have small yards but are all separated by parks and open space), and Grandview Homes (1/4 to 3/4 acre lots around the outside of the community). Destination Homes out of Utah (www.destinationhomes.com) bought all of the Parkview and Mansion Twin Home Lots and are building approximately 200 homes. I was hired by Destination Homes to sell those 200 homes.

I started the new job on April 6 and it has been kinda crazy since! Back and forth to Utah for training, following up on tons of leads, and getting ready for our Grand Opening Celebration on May 16th is what has been consuming my time! Hopefully once we get open, life will return to a more normal pace!

Despite what you hear on the news, there are still great places to buy a home and home sales are still going strong here in Idaho - in fact we sold just as many homes in Bonneville County this April as we did last April! Now that is exciting!
