This Design Bite covers the most important details in triggering a positive buyer response. Learn how design details can help make the sale and how varied approaches to the design/build/sale process can cater to different buyer needs. You'll also learn about the key areas of focus in a plan and elevation for a potential buyer, positioning your homes to feel great on a walkthrough, and live even better. The Design Bites series is sponsored by Monogram Luxury Appliances.
