Written by Amy Wood | 30 April, 2015, 10:32AM

Country Classics is much more than a company. It’s a group of people working together to ensure that you find the ideal home for your family in the perfect place for your specific lifestyle. That endeavor, of course, requires a lot of teamwork. It’s not just the craftsmen wielding the hammers, saws, and drills that create the home of your dreams. 

We’d like to introduce you to some of the other people who help us make sure that the home you end up with is the one you’ve always dreamed about. 

Meet Amy Wood, Vice President of Operations

Amy manages a group of very talented salespeople in a manner that enhances their talents and encourages them to develop new strengths.  She is the “go-to” person in our company for numerous sales and marketing related questions. So it’s no surprise that she won Sales Manager of Year at the Metropolitan Builders & Contractors Association of NJ Awards of Excellence in 2013. 

Amy has been working at Country Classics since 2004 and says she loves working here, “Because every day brings something new.  Sometimes it’s a new issue to solve, others it’s learning something new or meeting new people. Also, Country Classics is a smaller family-owned company of dedicated people that I am grateful to call co-workers and friends.”
