Greenwood, Vice President of Builder Marketing for Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage, is a 37-year veteran of the home-building industry who works with builders from Michigan to Wisconsin.
The straight-talking Greenwood predicted that the over-the-top incentives will come to the city market this fall, but that builders are highly negotiable even now. The flat-screen TV of a few months ago may be just the opening ante in today’s high-stakes poker game.
