Woman-Centric Design - by Paul Foresman

How to make sure your homes match the lifestyles of your buyers.

Over 90% of the decision to buy  your home will rest with the woman of the house.  If she's not sold, you don't have a sale.  However, savvy homebuilders are using this to their advantage by incorporating features into their homes that  have special appeal - not just to women, but to active families. 

Convenience is taking its place next to comfort and style as a priority among new home buyers.  In this fascinating and enthusiastic presentation, Paul Foresman discusses what buyers are looking for and how to use design as a selling advantage.
