New Product and Service DevelopmentTHE NEW HOUSE

- Buying a house a big decision.

- Just like a new product/service of a company,

buying a new house should be

considered an investment.

- Wildly Successful Project (Return of Investment)

- A great place to live- A great place to sell

- Making such a big investment should not be considered a simple task, but there are specific tools to improve the decision-taking

process.

THE SAD REALITY...

- Insufficient broad criteria. (# of bedrooms + budget)

- Usually follow instincts and/or emotions and fall in love with their ideas.“In the early stages of a new product project we make many assumptions in order

to justify the project.” – Robert Cooper

- No time planning.

- Not enough research.

- The only experienced opinion they get are from brokers, who are usually more interested in the financial aspect of the business than in the decision itself.

- By leading, directing, and advising, Home Sweet Home will help the costumer throughout the process of purchasing a house.

- Home Sweet Home gets no comission on the house sale. It is a pre-paid service, with a fixed price.

- With real estate expertise and an impartial point of view, Home Sweet Home will guide the costumer from house-hunting until closing the deal and all the necessary steps inbetween that are usually ignored by people.
