What are a few of the essential elements that make up a successful options and upgrades program?
Accuracy of paperwork, detail in choosing options and obtaining option pricing, meeting construction deadlines, and making the process fun for the buyers. Even one mistake in paperwork or accompanying drawings can cause a trickle down effect equal to thousands of dollars. Choosing the correct options and pricing them with all the associated costs is absolutely critical. Achieving the desired construction deadlines is paramount to cutting carrying costs for the developer and allowing the unit to close on time. And having satisfied buyers who can speak positively of their experiences in the design center means repeat business.

If all of these elements are completed professionally, you have achieved success with options and upgrades!

Do I have to offer options and upgrades? Why can’t I just offer 3 packages and let the buyers choose between the 3?
Buyers want to have a choice. They need to have a choice especially in these most sensitive of market times. EYO creates a structured environment where buyers can choose from a variety of pre-selected and pre-priced options. The meeting and the options are controlled so the buyer feels he or she is getting a choice. We limit the choices based on a set of parameters determined by the developer beforehand. Our system is more beneficial than generic packaging because our method for handling paperwork is flawless.
