What It’s About:
Have you ever interviewed someone who is hunting for a new home? The comment most frequently repeated is, "After visiting a few homes, they all are just jumbled together. Nothing is different or exciting about any of them." If you are selling new homes, this isn't what you want to hear. This session will focus on the must-have features and design elements that are guaranteed to make your home memorable. Discover how you can exceed the basic needs of your potential buyers, so that they leave saying, "That was incredible!" You'll see cutting edge interior ideas, a color trends forecast and creative floorplan twists that are designed to captivate.

What You'll Learn:
Investigate how to include a number of new and creative interior ideas and details to set your homes apart from the competition.
Explore the latest color trends from the Color Marketing Group, and learn how to apply these trends into your new homes.
Analyze new floorplan features and twists that are desired by today's buyers.
Recognize the "fatal flaws" that make your homes less desirable and send buyers running to your competition.
