Green, Healthy and Affordable – Message?

CUSTOM homes are PRACTICAL

THERE IS A MARKET FOR THEM

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?

6. Would Realtors be interested in a professional credential such as "Healthy Home Advisor" as part of or reinforcing the work of the Green REsource Council - http://www.greenresourcecouncil.org/green-resource-council?
