I’ve been selling Real Estate my whole career. Selling for Partners in Building wouldn’t be any different, right? Boy was I wrong. They have this full custom process from sales all the way through construction that’s always focused on what’s most important to the customer. It takes us days to do what it takes weeks and months for other custom builders to do. It’s no wonder so many Partners in Building customers are customers for life. They don’t even think about building with anyone else.

Is there a better way? Don’t focus on the problem, focus on the solution. Make sure everyone is trained on the process. These are the kinds of things a lot of companies say, but that’s day-to-day life at Partners in Building. Who wouldn’t want to work for a company like that?

I got an internship at Partners in Building before I graduated from college. It wasn’t like an internship, though, they treated me like a real employee. They started training me to build homes the PiB way from day one. When I graduated, I really didn’t want to work anywhere else. They hired me and kept right on training me. They put me in a job where I could learn all the backend systems of the company. Now I’m back in the field and I feel as prepared as someone who’s been building homes for 10 years.

I started working at Partners in Building right out of college. I was part of a Sales Training program and I became a full-fledged Sales Counselor. Shortly after wanted to pursue an administrative position. They found a job in the office that was more suited to me. Now I manage people in that department. That’s just something that wouldn’t happen in many companies.

I’ve been working at Partners in Building for over fifteen years. There are a lot of people that have been working here for more than a decade. When people want to stay with a company, that says a lot about the company.

I started at Partners in Building as a builder in a community in Houston. Ten years later I’m the President of an entire Division for the company. I was promoted four times over those years, and every promotion required a lot of hard work. But this is a company that rewards hard work.

A company’s core values are important to me. It’s what drew me to Partners in Building. From my very first conversations with Partners, the people I talked with always circled back to the values and habits of the company. My background is in consulting, across industries, and I’ve seen what can happen to a company that isn’t tethered to a core belief system, beyond the bottom line. Partners in Building has that core belief system.
