Summit Day 2 Kickoff
Description
In the early 2000s, home builders began to discover the benefits of using their website not just as a simple online brochure, but as an active lead generation tool. Now 25 years later, we are at the forefront of a new revolution in the way home builders use their websites to sell. The early adopters of online home sales are already blazing the trail, proving the naysayers wrong along the way. Many buyers have indicated that they are ready and willing to make large, expensive purchases, including a new home, completely online. The way that consumers are looking for and shopping for everything, including new homes, is evolving faster than ever, and if you as a builder do not adapt and understand how to connect with your prospective buyers online, you are losing sales to those who do. However, too many builders remain convinced that buying a home, at least the one they are selling, is too expensive, too complex, and too important of a purchase for someone to buy it on a website. But is it?
