... to love your job. I won't pretend that working in this industry is always roses and sunshine. Let's be honest; we've been beaten up over the past few years. But I will say this - I worked for a national company whose focus centered on profit margins, especially when the market turned. I joined the Schell team when the market was down, and yet, the focus is so much healthier. We concentrate on our customers' happiness. We want their customer experience to truly be different. We actually want them to be moved to tears by our workmanship and personal touches. And we also focus on each other, on being a company that works hard and plays hard. It's a good feeling. And if I'm going to continue to sell new homes and work for a Delaware home builder, I'm glad and proud that it's with Schell Brothers.
Schell Brothers Receives Unprecedented Seven National Awards December 4, 2009 - 9:41 am
Schell Brothers, a leading Delaware home builder based in Rehoboth Beach, has received seven national awards, presented for excellence in the home building industry in 2009. The company won an unparalleled five "Nationals Awards" from the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB) in addition to two "Best in American Living Awards", sponsored by NAHB and Professional Builder Magazine. The Nationals Awards, which are the most esteemed honors associated with the building industry, pay tribute to superior new home sales and marketing, and home design achievements. Builders across the country compete for the coveted national honors from the NAHB, emphasizing the level of accomplishment by Schell Brothers in Delaware. Nationals winners are the exclusive finalists for the ultimate Gold Awards which will be announced at the Builder's Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 19, 2010. The Best in American Living Awards will be distributed at a press conference during the Builder's Show, honoring Schell Brothers and other builders who have provided the most inspiring and innovative residential designs in the country.
Schell Brothers' five Nationals Awards span a variety of categories ranging from home design to model merchandising, with two of the honors recognizing the achievements of the company's prestigious affiliate known as Echelon Custom Homes. Awards were presented to Schell Brothers/Echelon Custom Homes in the following categories:
The 2009 Best in American Living Awards are recognized as the pinnacle of achievement in residential design. Schell Brothers received Best in American Living Awards in the following two categories:
...actually bypassed the Delaware beaches. We had a few flurries, which was still fun to see, but no accumulation. On the bright side (literally - today is very sunny), the nicer weather today hopefully will allow all of the local holiday parades to take place.
At Schell Brothers, we're definitely in the holiday spirit. In fact, Chris Schell challenged his entire sales team to decorate their model homes for the holidays. The winning team not only received a gift card to the local shopping outlets, but also (and most importantly) bragging rights. I'm pleased to announce that the Indy team was victorious!! I'm also not too proud to admit that we may have won because of our strategic decor, even more so than the festive fittings. Check out the picture below to see precisely what I mean....
In the interim since I last wrote, there's been a lot of exciting activity at Schell Brothers. Due to our company growth, we've opened up several new home communities. With growth comes change, and I'm now the community sales manager at Independence, the premier active adult community in Delaware. Leaving the Vineyards has been bittersweet; I love the concept of the community, and I always find it hard to say "so long" to my loyal customers. But I am thrilled to be a part of the Indy family. We've already had great success! In the month and a half that our new team has been here, we've sold 7 homes - and counting!
With the dust settling, I'll make sure to update my blog more regularly. I can't wait to share some of the Indy magic with all of you!
