We give people who want to move but can\u2019t because they don\u2019t want to sell their house for such a low market price, the opportunity to do so.\u00a0 We do this through our guaranteed lease program in which we present our customers with a monthly payment to cover their old house if they agree to move into one of our newly constructed homes.\u00a0 This monthly payment is guaranteed up to 6 years so we hope that within that time the market will go up enough for the homeowner to sell their house at a comfortable price.<\/p>\n<p>I started off working in the Finance department where I was able to get a feel of how the department works and who performs which roles.\u00a0 I was then placed on the Tech team to come up with solutions to streamline the operations of our Finance department through technology.\u00a0 This meant working on anything from performing research on potential finance programs to getting the Finance department on up and running with Salesforce.
