Your Fortner Homes Online Sales Consultant

Finding the right new construction home in Eastern North Carolina starts with more than choosing a floor plan. It starts with having someone who listens, answers your questions, and helps you understand what comes next.

At Fortner Homes, that first connection is often with Sarah Ocampo, our Online Sales Consultant (OSC). Sarah is here to help prospective homebuyers explore Fortner communities, learn more about available homes, compare options, and take the next step toward finding a new home that fits their lifestyle.

With nearly 10 years of experience in the homebuilding industry, Sarah has worked in many areas of the business, including administration, accounting, HR, marketing, sales, and online sales. That experience has given her a well-rounded understanding of the homebuilding process and, ultimately, helped her discover where she belongs.

Meet Sarah Ocampo

“Online sales is definitely where I found my passion,” Sarah says. “I love being that first point of contact for buyers, getting to know their story and what they’re looking for, and helping guide them toward that next step.”

As an Online Sales Consultant, Sarah is often one of the first people a buyer connects with when they are researching new construction homes in Eastern NC.

Maybe you’re just starting to explore new homes. Maybe you’re comparing communities in Wilson, New Bern, Princeton, Zebulon, or other Eastern North Carolina areas. Or maybe you already know exactly what you’re looking for and need help finding the right Fortner home.

Wherever you are in the process, Sarah is here to help.

Helping Homebuyers Navigate the New Construction Process

Buying a new construction home is exciting, but it can also come with plenty of questions.

What community is right for your family? Which floor plan fits your lifestyle? What homes are currently available? What does the buying process look like? What design options are available?

Sarah loves helping buyers find those answers.

One of her favorite parts of being an OSC is building relationships with people throughout their homebuying journey. She understands that not everyone is ready to purchase a home immediately, and she enjoys staying connected and being a resource along the way.

“Not everyone is ready to buy right away, so I really enjoy staying connected, being a resource, and helping buyers throughout their journey.”

That approach is especially important when someone is considering new construction homes in Eastern North Carolina for the first time. Sarah helps make the process feel approachable, informative, and personal.

Bilingual Support for Homebuyers

Sarah is bilingual in English and Spanish, allowing her to help Spanish-speaking homebuyers feel more comfortable throughout the new homebuying process.

Purchasing a home is a major milestone, and Sarah believes communication should never be a barrier. Whether a buyer is exploring new homes in Wilson, NC, looking at a Fortner community near New Bern, or considering another Eastern North Carolina location, Sarah is ready to help answer questions and provide guidance in both English and Spanish.

Nearly a Decade of Homebuilding Experience

Sarah's experience in the homebuilding industry gives her a unique understanding of what goes into building and selling a new home.

Over the years, she has worked in:

• Administration
• Accounting
• Human Resources
• Marketing
• Sales
• Online Sales

Her career accomplishments include being named Employee of the Year in 2017, 2019, and 2020, as well as receiving recognition for Top Closings and Top Customer Satisfaction in 2021 and 2022.

That experience allows Sarah to see the homebuying process from multiple perspectives, helping her provide knowledgeable and personalized support to prospective Fortner homeowners.

Get to Know Sarah Outside of Fortner Homes

While Sarah loves helping people find their next home, her favorite role is being part of her family.

Sarah is a wife, mom, and dog mom. She has a wild two-year-old son and an 11-year-old bonus daughter who has been part of her life since she was three.

She’s also a proud Texas girl who loves traveling, spending time outdoors, pool days, fall weather, and making memories with family and friends.

Recently, Sarah joined the Pilates bandwagon and discovered that she actually enjoys it! After taking about two years postpartum to find her way back into fitness, she recently started her fitness journey again.

She also loves bringing people together and hosting, which comes as no surprise to anyone who knows Sarah. Building relationships is just as important to her outside of work as it is in her role at Fortner Homes.

And if you ever need a unique gift for a birthday, graduation, quinceañera, or other celebration, Sarah has another fun talent: she makes money bouquets!
