Exterior Selections Can Be Fun!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

Brick and stone can get heavy and cumbersome to lug around. And finding roofing and shutters that match your masonry is usually a tedious process that is confined to the sales center showroom.

As a builder or remodeler, wouldn’t it be great if a potential homebuyer was able to walk away from your sales center with everything they need to make an informed decision about their exterior selections?

The Masonry Institute of St. Louis is educating masonry suppliers, homebuilders, remodelers and sales representatives on how to successfully sell exterior selections. With the help of Kirchner Block and Brick and their cutting edge portable masonry sample materials, design trend updates from Barry Glantz of Glantz and Associates, and a New Homes Market Update from Joe Zanola of Zanola Company, the Masonry Institute of St. Louis educated a roomful of fifty sales professionals on how to easily and effectively promote exterior selections with materials the buyer can take home.
