When thinking about joining us here at Harris Doyle, you should understand our guiding concept, we don’t build houses; we build memories. We build memories of the first Christmas with your new baby, memories of spending the night at your grandparents, memories of your 8th birthday party. We all have these recollections & emotional connections that tie us to our homes, sometimes long after we have stepped foot into them. While we don’t create these memories for our homeowners, we build the setting. The responsibility we carry as creators of this new backdrop is huge, but incredibly rewarding. Our goal is to make home buying fun and home ownership attainable. We understand the only way to achieve these goals is through our people, the “boots” behind our mission. We have selected team members who are Hungry, Humble, and Smart to lead our efforts in creating homes worth making memories in. We hope you’ll decide to join alongside us!
