What’s impacted me most in my time here at Neal is our commitment to people and doing the right thing. Our Guiding Principles drive how we operate both internally and externally. I love working for a company that is invested in both my own wellbeing and the wellbeing of the community. In my opinion, that’s one of the biggest benefits of working for a family-owned business compared to a larger corporation. When you work here, you’re more than just a number, you’re a valued member of the Neal family.

What I enjoy most about working for Neal Communities is how focused everyone is to create a wonderful product and ensure the homeowner experience is perfect. I chose a career with Neal Communities because their values greatly aligned with my own. One value that stood out to me is ‘“Do the Right Thing.”’ This value is present in everything we do, and I believe this is what makes Neal Communities stand out. From meeting a homeowner for the first time to handing them the keys to their beautiful new home and everything in between, we Do the Right Thing.

There are several reasons I truly enjoy working for such a great company but the biggest reason is we get to do the right thing. When we are faced with difficult decisions, we don’t just do what is best for the company, we do what is right. I truly believe it’s one of the reasons we attract such good team members and have such a good reputation in the marketplace.

Charlene Neal Purestyle, together with Neal Communities, cares about us professionally and on a personal level outside of here. Through their Plan For Giving program, they’ve helped my team raise over $37k for Making Strides Against Breast Cancer. (A cause very near and dear to my heart). One of the many ways Pat and Charlene like to thank their employees is with an Annual Years of Service program where we are presented a variety of amazing gifts to choose from. Its programs like these, career advancement opportunities, and an excellent benefit package that makes me feel appreciated and valued. It’s with such confidence in the Neal brand, that I became a Neal homeowner too! I am so proud to be a part of this family organization and look forward to the years to come.

Working at Waterscapes is truly a pleasure. Having worked in the pool business since I was a teenager, I can appreciate the professional service we provide. Operating under the Neal Communities umbrella, we make building a pool with the home seamless. We design pools with our client’s input and seeing their expression when they see our creation in 3-D is priceless. We build relationships from design to construction and beyond. At Waterscapes, hard work never goes unnoticed and I am proud to be part of the team!

I have been a part of the Neal team for almost 9 years and it has been an incredibly rewarding experience. The work is challenging, but the true satisfaction comes from partnering with people on what is often the largest and most significant purchase they will ever make—their home. Knowing that they will receive a well-built, high-quality home, is deeply fulfilling. What truly stands out to me about Neal is the supportive, collaborative environment. I feel valued for the contributions I make and confident that the work I do adds real value to both the company and the homeowners we serve. It’s a team that truly cares about its people and its products.

Working at Neal Communities has been one of the most fulfilling experiences of my career. From day one, I’ve felt like more than just an employee—I feel like part of a family. Being a private builder has a unique atmosphere where management knows you by name and truly cares about your personal and professional growth. One of the things I love most is the opportunity to grow within the organization. Not only do they promote from within but also actively nurture and support the development of their employees.
