August 18 round table was a success

2 hours of constructive discussion between Majestic Homebuilders and Hispanic real estate professionals brought many valuable suggestions to the Majestic team.
Location:
Majestic's main mission is to offer a fine home to families who otherwise could not afford a new single family residence.  However, a suggestion was made to diversify towards more mainstream locations, while raising the sales prices by a few thousands.  Hispanic families have now become more sensitive to area schools.  Majestic is alrady exploring this possibility.
One advice came back repeatedly to return to our sources and build agin in the South Post Oak corridor.

Floor Plans
Everybody confirmed our belief in not cutting corners.  Secondary bedrooms should not be too small, and as many walk in closets as possible should be available.  A front entrance version of our Greenbirer plan was recomended, this as already in the works.  You can see the attached plan of the "Palace" here attached.  A larger one story plan was recomended, we are working on it.
Features:
Every person in atendance confirmed that brick is even more important for Hispanic buyers.  We will keep adding brick.  The interior should include more ceramic tile, this resolution is already adopted.  A recommendation was made to offer a "Granite" option for the kitchens.  We will keep this under consideration, knowing the importance of kitchens in general.
