Job Summary:

The Manager in Training (MIT) program is designed to develop future Retail Sales Managers at True Legacy Homes. As an MIT, you will gain hands-on experience in estate sales operations, team management, and customer service. Under the guidance of a Retail Sales Manager, you will learn how to lead a team, drive sales, and create a seamless shopping experience for customers.

As an Estate Sale Team Member, you will work in a unique and dynamic environment where no two days—or houses—are ever the same. Each week, you will be assigned to a different estate, preparing the home for sale by staging, organizing, and pricing items, and then assisting in hosting the sale for the public. Some estates are clean and straightforward to stage, while others may require more effort and creativity to prepare. This role is hands-on and fast-paced, requiring adaptability, attention to detail, and the ability to work in varying household conditions. Work sites may, on occasion, involve exposure to dirt, dust, fumes, loud noise, or household chemicals. If you enjoy variety, problem-solving, and being part of a team that transforms each home into a professional sales environment, this is the right role for you.

Upon successful completion of the MIT program, you will have the opportunity to advance into a Retail Sales Manager role, where you will lead your own sales team.
