6 Here s what the Builders have to say: Why enter a home in THE 11th Annual Green Home Tour? Dermot O Brien, Saussy Burbank - We have found the Green Home Tour to be the best marke ng event for promo ng our homes. The traffic it generates is the best kind. Many are in the market for a home but everyone gains valuable insight and educa on about eco-friendly features and construc on prac ces. Visitors stay longer and ask more ques ons than any other promo on we've experienced. Not only has the word of mouth led to sales it also promotes sustainable living. Randy Lanou, BuildSense - The Green Home Tour is one of the best opportuni es to showcase our work. Every year, the tour provides qualified leads that keep us busy. The advantage is having the opportunity to discuss the advanced technologies we use, why we use them and how it benefits the client. We had a large volume of people who visited our homes this year and subsequently a number of appointments were scheduled with poten al buyers. It is a must for our business. Chris Senior, Anchorage Building - The Green Home Tour is our number one marke ng event of the year. It is an opportunity to show your target audience what differen ates you from the crowd, the level of quality that you deliver, and provides an invaluable chance to get some face me with poten al clients. We always get work from each tour- even if it s down the road. Jon Showalter, Homes by Dickerson - We enter homes into the Green Home Tour, because it is a chance for us to promote the benefits of building high performance homes to the public and it is a tangible way for the marketplace to associate our company with green homebuilding. Kevin Murphy, Newphire Building Corp. - The Tour was be er than ever! I saw around 300 people through my house over the four Tour days. Many guests came early and some stayed late. Couples were looking for land or had land and were looking to build in the coming year - you couldn t ask for more as a builder. I always look forward to sharing what is new and different about my homes and welcome the challenge of fielding any and all ques ons from a target market audience. Jay Beaman, Beaman Building & Realty, Inc. - For me, building Green is a discipline of looking at all the op ons available at virtually every step of the construc on process and choosing as many of the best methods and materials that can be incorporated into a home based on design, budget and availability of materials and labor. It is a whole-home systems approach to home building.
