Remodeling Sales & Design Consultant


DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen | Ann Arbor, MI


DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen is looking for a full-time Remodeling Sales & Design Consultant to guide homeowners through kitchen, bath, and interior remodeling projects from the first consultation through signed contract.


This is a consultative sales and design role for someone who can understand what a client is trying to accomplish, help shape the right solution, guide design and selections, and confidently lead the relationship forward.


You will own the client relationship, but you will not be expected to do everything yourself. Our team provides support in estimating, design assistance, purchasing, and production so you can stay focused on the client, the solution, and moving the project toward a successful contract.


Compensation & Benefits


Base salary generally $50,000–$80,000, based on experience, plus uncapped commission tied to sales and design performance and additional sales-volume bonuses. Target annual earnings are $80,000–$100,000+, with strong performers able to earn well into six figures.


Benefits include health, dental, and vision insurance, 401(k) with company match, paid vacation and holidays, hybrid work flexibility, mileage reimbursement, and professional development.


What You'll Do

• Meet with prospective clients in the design center and in their homes. Work with company-provided leads from phone calls, walk-ins, website inquiries, and other marketing sources, while also generating your own leads through outside sales, networking, referrals, and community outreach.
• Build and maintain relationships with past clients, prospective clients, and professional referral partners. Understand client goals, priorities, budgets, timelines, and decision processes. Qualify prospective clients and determine whether projects are a good fit for DreamMaker before investing significant time in design development.
• Develop practical, attractive, and functional remodeling concepts and project solutions. Create kitchen and bathroom layouts, cabinetry plans, design drawings, and professional presentations. Guide clients through design and material selections, develop project scopes of work and proposals, and present design retainers, proposals, and final contracts.
• Explain project pricing confidently and address client questions and objections professionally. Collaborate with estimating, design support, purchasing, and production. Maintain strong communication and follow-through throughout the process, along with an organized sales pipeline, accurate client records, and consistent follow-up in the company CRM.
• Meet established sales goals while protecting company profitability. Work Tuesday through Saturday.

What We're Looking For


Required Qualifications

• At least 5 years of professional sales experience, preferably in residential remodeling, kitchen and bath design, home improvement, or another consultative sales environment.At least 3 years of kitchen and bath design experience, including developing layouts, selecting materials, and presenting design concepts.Demonstrated ability to manage a sales process from initial consultation through signed contract, along with experience working directly with homeowners on projects involving significant financial investments.
• Experience using design software such as 2020 Design Live, Chief Architect, or comparable programs
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills, confidence discussing budgets, presenting solutions, addressing objections, and asking for the business.
• Strong design judgment, spatial reasoning, and understanding of residential construction requirements.
• Ability to manage multiple active client relationships, excellent organization and follow-through, and comfortable use of computers and CRM systems.
• Ability to travel locally.

Education
An associate degree in Interior Design, Architecture, Construction Management, Business, Marketing, or a related field is preferred. Equivalent professional experience may be considered in place of a degree.


Preferred Qualifications & Experience

• A bachelor's degree in Interior Design, Architecture, Business, or a related discipline is a plus, as are NKBA certification or the Certified Kitchen & Bath Designer (CKBD) designation.
• Additional preferred experience includes 7 or more years of consultative sales experience, 5 or more years of residential remodeling or kitchen and bath design experience, and documented annual sales production of $1 million or more.
• Experience selling remodeling projects valued at $40,000–$150,000 or more and working with affluent homeowners who expect premium service and attention to detail is also preferred.
• An understanding of construction methods, cabinetry, countertops, plumbing fixtures, and finish materials is beneficial.

Who Will Thrive in This Role

• You enjoy both people and design.
•  You listen carefully, ask direct questions, make strong recommendations, and are comfortable asking for the business when the solution is right. You understand that good sales is not about pressure; it is about helping the right client make a good decision.
•  You also understand that successful remodeling is more than creating a beautiful design. The solution has to work for the client financially, functionally, and practically.
•  This is not simply a salesperson who occasionally helps with design. You must be capable of developing practical, attractive, and functional remodeling solutions that account for construction requirements and can successfully be built.
•  You can manage the complete client relationship, from the initial consultation and design development through pricing, presentation, and signed contract.
