## Story

But for Amanda Valente and her home improvement and construction company, Renovation Sells, that’s their bread and butter.

Late last year, FamilyHandyman recognized Valente as one of the top female leaders in the construction industry.

After leaving corporate America to start Renovation Sells with her husband, Valente learned the real estate and construction industry aren’t always as straightforward as they may seem. She’s spent years gathering wisdom.

“One of the most important lessons I’ve learned as a construction business owner is that relationships are everything — relationships with your subcontractors, relationships with your clients and relationships with your referral sources,” Valente told FamilyHandyman. “You must always think about the long term vision, and bend in areas where you can to cultivate those relationships. Treat your sub-contractors well, cater to your client’s every need and be truly helpful to your referral sources.”
