Amazing times we live in!

G:   Bob, isn’t it truly amazing that you are able to help customers all over the world purchase and build new homes before they ever arrive in Columbus, Fort Benning, Georgia, area?  If anyone had told me 10 years ago that we would be able to sign a contract over the internet with a customer in the State of Washington or the country of Argentina, I would have said “no way!”  But you do this all the time now.

B:  Yep, and how exciting it is!  Both for the customer and for me!  With the help of You Tube videos and Skype teleconferencing, the customer gets to see and do everything as if they were actually here on a househunting trip.   If they want to build a new home, my videos on You Tube help them decide on a neighborhood, then they can view houseplans and make changes they need or want.  Once we get under contract, they are an integral part of the homebuilding process, choosing everything from bricks to appliances, flooring to wall colors…and all online!   And the really cool thing is that I get to film the construction progress and send it to them on a regular basis…so they can literally see their home come up out of the ground!

G:  And then the most fun comes when they actually arrive here and get to see their masterpiece in person for the first time.  I know that gives you as much a thrill as it does the customer, right?

B: You’ve got it!  That’s why I love this business.  It feels so good to make folks happy!    Speaking of making folks happy, what’s for dinner?  You know I’m always starving!
