Deliver Extraordinary Experiences

We believe that extraordinary experiences start with team members who are inspired and exceptional in character. Through the experiences we create, we express our pride, passion, and purpose in who we are and what we do. We strive to achieve genuine, consistent and authentic connections with our internal and external customers, as well as vendor partners while adding value and relevance to every interaction. We understand that to deliver outstanding service, we must focus on both the big picture and the smallest details, aiming to exceed our customers’ expectations in all areas.

Foster a Team Environment

We recognize, appreciate and support the unique talents each team member brings to our organization and the ways they use those talents to achieve our common goals. We strive to empower our team members to grow within our organization and our industry, while nurturing an environment where ideas are shared, heard, understood, and respected.

3

Embrace Social Responsibility

Both as individuals and as members of our team, our employees are proud, active participants in the communities in which we build and live. We continually give back to our communities philanthropically, as well as through our green living and building initiatives, by promoting environmental awareness. We also openly share our knowledge on how communities, businesses and individuals can be more environmentally conscious.

4

Nurture a Learning Organization

We continually search for ways to empower ourselves with knowledge, and then leverage that knowledge to nurture innovation, improve processes and develop personal and professional growth. Embodied within this core value includes recognizing the need for a strategic shift, organization transformation, customer alignment and quality learning. Through mentoring and coaching, each team member becomes genuinely excited about the process of learning and supports each other with learning opportunities. We constantly evaluate past performances and mistakes to transform them into opportunities for future success. We recognize that rapid change will be required and those that are flexible, adaptive, and productive will excel.

5

Communicate with Empathy & Understanding

We believe that successful communication depends on active listening, self-awareness, empathy, honesty and finesse. We strive for every internal and external communication effort to be effective, open, timely and compassionate. Through observation, assessment, and management of our emotions, we are able to read other people's emotional signals and react to them appropriately. We understand how our words and actions can impact others — and potentially build or damage relationships. We take ownership for our roles and responsibilities and actively look for ways we can assist and support others.

6

Be Solution Experts

We choose to focus on opportunities for problem solving and proactively search for solutions beyond our normal scope. Through active listening and an open-minded, consultative approach, we identify challenges, generate possible solutions, evaluate the options, elicit support from all business partners, select the best course of action, and successfully implement the chosen path.

7

Create Fun

We recognize the importance of creating a work / life balance where hard work is rewarded, success and achievements are celebrated, and enthusiasm is contagious. We strive to foster a fun, healthy setting in which our work environment becomes a source of positive energy and vitality. This contagious work environment will be instrumental in building better relationships with both our vendors and homeowners.
