## Description

We are seeking an experienced Sales Manager to lead residential construction sales within a design-build and general contractor environment.

This is a full-cycle sales role with direct ownership of pipeline development, client relationships, estimating coordination, proposal presentation, and deal closure across custom homes, build-on-your-lot projects, and high-end renovations.

The ideal candidate is a construction-savvy sales professional who understands residential building, can confidently guide clients through the preconstruction process, and is comfortable moving opportunities from initial consultation through signed construction agreement.

**Responsibilities**

-   Build and manage a pipeline of residential construction opportunities including custom homes, major remodels, luxury renovations, and build-on-your-lot projects
-   Generate new business through referrals, professional networking, direct outreach, FSBO engagement, and landowner development
-   Lead client consultations to understand project goals, scope, budget, timeline, and overall feasibility
-   Review architectural plans, floor plans, specifications, and design concepts to support accurate project discussions
-   Develop estimates, proposals, and pricing models tailored to each client’s project
-   Present proposals professionally and close high-value residential construction contracts
-   Negotiate contract terms and manage the transition from signed agreement to construction team handoff
-   Collaborate with architects, designers, estimators, subcontractors, and project managers throughout the preconstruction phase
-   Maintain proactive client communication from first contact through project kickoff
-   Support broader marketing, business development, and revenue growth initiatives as needed

## Requirements

-   Proven track record closing high-value residential construction projects
-   Experience in custom, luxury, or design-build residential construction strongly preferred
-   Ability to read and interpret blueprints, floor plans, specifications, and construction documents
-   Experience developing estimates, proposals, and project pricing for residential builds
-   Strong client-facing communication, consultative selling, negotiation, and closing skills
-   Experience working with subcontractors and sourcing competitive trade pricing
-   General contractor or design-build background required
-   Full sales cycle ownership required — support-only or coordination-only experience will not be considered
-   Highly organized, self-directed, and comfortable managing multiple active opportunities at once

## Benefits

-   $70,000 base salary plus commission structure
-   Approximately 2% commission on inventory home sales
-   Approximately 2.5% commission on custom homes and renovations
-   Approximately 3% commission on options and upgrades
