• Proactively manage prospects through marketing initiatives, consistent follow-up, detailed note-taking, CRM activity, and accurate completion of purchase agreements, sales reports, and other required documentation.
• Lead buyers through post-purchase design selections and appointments at the Onyx+East Design Center, collaborating with the Design team to create a personalized and engaging experience.
• Build relationships with local Realtors through outreach, presentations, open houses, and events while helping generate traffic and grow awareness of Onyx+East throughout the Cincinnati market.

• Genuine interest in people with a natural ability to build rapport, create trust, and make customers feel heard and understood.
• Excellent communication and relationship-building skills with a self-motivated, hardworking, and organized approach to managing sales activity.
• Curious and growth-oriented mindset with the desire to learn about new home construction, design, real estate, and the Cincinnati housing market.
• Coachable and receptive to feedback, with a willingness to learn from sales and design leadership and continually strengthen performance.
• Strong attention to detail and follow-through with the ability to effectively manage multiple buyers, appointments, documents, and priorities.
• Comfortable utilizing CRM and sales technology; previous knowledge of residential construction, design, or real estate is a plus.
