New year, new sales consultant

Meet Jessie Barrett – our new Sales Consultant!

We’re excited to share that Jessie has recently stepped into the role of Sales Consultant here at Faisandier.

While Jessie may be new to the sales front line, she’s certainly no stranger to the business. Jessie is not only my little sister, she was employee #1 around here being the first hire back in 2019. Jessie brings a broad and well-rounded understanding of how our developments come together – from the earliest planning stages right through to welcoming people into their new homes.

Most recently, Jessie worked as one of our Customer Journey Managers, supporting all of our marketing and sales activity as well as overseeing the experience of our customers. That experience has given her a deep appreciation for what buyers need at every stage of the process – and a strong focus on clear communication, thoughtful guidance, and making what can feel like a complex journey far more straightforward. Jessie’s move into sales is a natural progression. She combines behind-the-scenes knowledge with a genuine passion for helping people find the right option for their lifestyle and future. For buyers, that means working with someone who understands the detail, the process, and – most importantly, the emotions that come with buying a home.

Build your team. A good lawyer and mortgage broker are key.
