When the dust of the housing shakeup settles, the builders and other housing professionals left standing strong will be the ones who made a plan for the future. What’s the smartest way to create that plan while staying on top of the current market’s challenges? In “Beyond the Best-Case Scenario,” Ross Robbins and Manny Schatz outline a three-step process to do just that. It starts with controlling what can be controlled now and preparing for any market in the future. This approach puts you in the driver’s seat and helps you to be more realistic about your options.

Robbins and Schatz have advised companies through downturns before and they know what works—they’ve seen the smart moves that have held successful businesses together and the mistakes that have brought down others. This is a rare opportunity to ask questions and get their take on your specific situation—for much less than you’d pay for a one-on-one consultation.

Members can register individually for the audio seminar, but HBAs can host the event. Begin with lunch and a discussion of what members are currently experiencing or what questions they’d like to ask about their options and actions that can be taken.

In addition to getting timely and practical information, participants can earn one hour of continuing education credit toward their NAHB professional designations and the South Carolina Certified Master Builder designation.

If you have any questions, please contact Joe McGaw at 800-368-5242 x8693 or jmcgaw@nahb.com. Questions regarding the Certified Master Builders of South Carolina designation program can be directed to Brandie Freeman at 803-771-7408 or bfreeman@hbaofsc.com.
