From Hospitality to Home Building: Chelsea’s Journey

Sometimes, the best career moves happen when you step completely out of your comfort zone. Chelsea Habenicht, a sales consultant at the Georgetown office in Central Texas, knows this firsthand. She spent 15 years working in the service and hospitality industry. After moving from Dallas to Austin, she decided she wanted a change.

Chelsea always had an interest in building things. She enjoyed creative hobbies that aligned with the construction world, even though she had little experience in the home-building industry. She decided to search for local home builders online and Tilson was the first to pop up and caught her eye. 

The company's careers page immediately stood out to her. She read about the rich family history behind the business. Having previously worked for a family-owned company, she knew she wanted to find a similar environment. She wanted to work with people, rather than just working for someone. She applied for the open position, hoping they would see her potential.

Taking a Leap into a New Industry

Transitioning into an entirely new field can feel overwhelming. Construction involves complex processes, varying land conditions, and unique customer needs. However, the team at Tilson took a chance on Chelsea. They guided her through the learning curve and helped her become the professional she wanted to be.

Since joining the team, Chelsea has experienced massive personal and professional growth. She credits this success to the company's genuine care for her well-being. They do not just care about sales numbers; they care about who she is as a person. They constantly lift her up and provide the tools she needs to thrive in her role.

Finding Fulfillment in Crafting Dream Homes

The work at Tilson Homes goes far beyond pouring foundations and framing walls. The  company operates on a clear mission: to embrace the customer’s dream by producing a quality home at an affordable price, all while making the experience smooth and efficient.

Every single piece of land is different. Every customer has a unique vision. This variety makes Chelsea's job challenging, but it also makes it incredibly fulfilling. Employees get to flex their creative muscles and solve problems on a daily basis. They guide families through the complex process of custom home building, turning an intimidating project into a manageable and exciting journey.

Creating Lasting Memories for Families

Employees quickly learn that they are part of something much bigger than themselves. Chelsea frequently experiences the joy of helping clients reach major life milestones. She recalls working with a married couple who were renting a house and expecting their third child. Building their first true home was a lifelong goal for them.

Being part of that monumental moment brings employees a deep sense of joy and purpose. You get to treat every customer as if they are your only client. You provide dedicated service, ensure people feel heard, and help them navigate any inevitable hiccups along the way. Making these dreams come true is a heartwarming experience that makes every challenge worthwhile.
