Hello, and thank you so much for your great review! It is always a difficult decision to sell a community, a portfolio, or to exit a market altogether, and we are sorry that our time together ended when we transitioned out of Arizona. We are glad you remember your experience with us fondly; we wish you all the best, and hope our paths will cross again one day!

Hello, and many thanks for your fantastic comments! We are so pleased to hear everything that you love about working for Equity, and in particular that you have recognized our efforts surrounding employee engagement. As for your comment regarding our bonus structure, we are always open to feedback and have made efforts over the years to experiment with different bonus and commission structures in order to remain competitive. We rolled out our new commission program earlier this year, and as our compensation team is continually evaluating the program, your feedback could be very helpful. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to your Regional Manager or a member of your Recruiting or HR team if you have any specific thoughts or suggestions to share. Thank you again for your review, and for your enthusiasm and dedication. Keep up the great efforts, and we will keep striving to make Equity a great place to work!
