1. Would your clients be interested in buying a custom home that is beautiful, green and healthy, if it would not cost them any more than a conventional or spec home?
2. What hot button features would be useful to market to these buyers?
3. Since green homes offer lower long-term operating costs, how can this best be communicated to prospects?
4. Do the 4 Ps resonate with buyers? People, Planet, Profit or Savings, Performance?
5. A recent major survey indicated that Realtors® are happier overall than the average American, and that their role in helping others was an important factor. How would selling someone a green, healthy home be a way to help them?
