I must say, I was more than pleasantly surprised! The experience was not only challenging (so much information to learn and disseminate) but educational, inspiring, motivating, rewarding and so much fun. I know – tell me more, right?

My first 30 days as a Housing Consultant at DeTray’s Custom Housing has been one of the best experiences that I have had starting a new job. It was a bit overwhelming at first, well it still is, there are so many parts that contribute to owning a manufactured home, but it’s all coming together. Just learning the model numbers and the standard features of the homes were challenging, but once learned, a piece of cake. The best parts of my day are the wonderful customers walking in the door, full of questions that I didn’t know, but contributing to my ongoing education on a daily basis. Looking back at my first day, I am amazed at how much I have learned which allows me the ability to share and educate the customers so they can make the best possible decision. And last but not least, I am surrounded by an outstanding management team with years of experience and talent that has been the foundation of my experience and growth. I truly wish that everyone could have the opportunity to at least once in their lifetime experience the joy of having a fun job!!
