Ray Jackson
Vice President of Sales

There have been 12 sales transactions in Toscana this year! The Toscana Sales Team was directly involved in 11 of those transactions ......92% of total sales.

 

  • 7 Resale Transactions
  • 5 New Home Sales (1 completed home, 4 homes to-be-built)

Thanks to all of you who continue to introduce your clients to Toscana.  Your efforts are directly reflected in the number of guests visiting the Sales Center. We've had over 1,500 visits this year compared to 900 visits for the same period last year. 

In March, we had 14 Realtors and their clients actively working with our Sales Team All the activity is making the Sales Center a very busy and exciting place. 

 

QUICK COMMISSIONS ON TO-BE-BUILT HOMES

.
As a reminder, we have a great program in place to reward Realtors for selling new to-be-built homes: you will be paid a 3% commission on the price of the homesite and the base price of the home at the homesite closing, NOT at the end of construction.  Please contact me or one of our Sales Executives for more information.

NEW SALES VEHICLES


We recently upgraded our Sales "fleet" to three beautiful Mercedes ML350's.  The new vehicles have four inches more leg room in the rear than our previous vehicles for the comfort of our guests viewing Toscana properties.  The new Diamond White exteriors work well to keep the vehicles cooler for our summer temperatures.
