Core Values
My work changes lives.
We are guiding people through one of the most important decisions of their life. We are helping people find a community and home that will bring them happiness and improve their lives. We are creating opportunity for our partner agents and fellow employees to succeed and grow.
The culture starts with me.
It begins on the inside. I make this a fun and enriching place to work and I create the environment I want to work in. If the culture does not meet my expectations, I am empowered to make a change.
Details matter.
Curiosity is a virtue. Seek. Understand. Be thorough. Expect the best from my teammates and myself in everything we produce.
Do the right thing.
We value authenticity, caring, and being good citizens. I make no decisions without first considering if my mother would approve.
Kaizen. No Compromizin’.
We believe in constant improvement and growth, personally and professionally. Every process in our business has opportunity to improve and I strive to make those changes.
If it is to be, it is up to me.
I’m smart, resourceful, and empowered to make it happen. I’m enthusiastic, persistent, not afraid to take risks and work harder and smarter than our competitors.
Application FAQ
You're not a robot, so your application isn't reviewed by one either! To make sure we find the right fit for the role, we (actual humans) review every submission. Sometimes this can take longer than anticipated, but rest assured, if your credentials meet the position requirements and the hiring team is interested in speaking to you, a team member will be in touch.
Both! Neighborhoods.com, LLC is the company that runs the consumer-facing websites neighborhoods.com and 55places.com. Most roles within our company impact both websites, because they are powered by similar technology and processes.

At Neighborhoods.com, we want you to bring your whole self to work, and we mean that during the interview process, too.

All interviews are conducted over Zoom with cameras on.
