A: The fact is, half of all home improvement projects over $5,000 are financed in some way, and offering all of your customer NARI BuildingBucks increases your close rate because payment options are not about affordability — it's about accommodating the customer’s money management goals while keeping the process quick and easy.

Qualified Remodeler
Many remodelers measure their success and compare it to others based on their total volume of work sold and/or produced. Although it’s a legitimate measurement, success by volume alone can be a huge mistake.

They were both very helpful and a lot of fun to spend the day with.
