Surprise Your Home Buyers with “Service Buffers”

 

By Carol Smith

Founder, Home Address

 

Looking for ways to increase home buyer satisfaction? The Service Buffer concept may be exactly the tool you’re seeking. This practical concept begins with identifying practices where a bit of extra time or attention would increase clients’ loyalty, positive word-of-mouth comments, and referrals.

 

A Service Buffer can occur at any point in a builder’s processes—from sales through warranty. These internal practices blend modest flexibility into key steps. You can plan as many as you like, but you’ll want at least one for each phase of the new home process.

Consultant's Corner

A Litmus Test for Adopting New Construction Technology

 

By Thomas Berrington
Director of Information Systems and Business Technology, Shinn Group

 

Every builder has a story about software that promised the world and delivered a headache. A platform gets demoed in a polished one-hour session, the leadership team nods, a contract gets signed, and eighteen months later the tool is either gathering dust or quietly dictating how the business runs instead of the other way around. In an industry where margins are thin, projects are long, and the cost of a wrong turn compounds across every job in the pipeline, technology decisions deserve more rigor than a good demo and a gut feeling.
