design delivers the KB Home brand in an informative, colorful and dynamic way
from neighborhoods coast to coast. And to be recognized as one of the nation's

KB Home recently rolled out a
standard sales office design across the country. The KB Home sales office design
focuses on the company’s core messages and emphasizes the high level of choice
available to homebuyers. It provides a distinct retail setting designed to
support each stage of KB Home’s proprietary sales presentation process and
presents the unique advantages of KB Home. In addition, the new sales offices
take advantage of the latest technology. Interactive kiosks allow customers to
see every floor plan and elevation available at a community, as well as
customize them to their particular needs and desires and print out the final
design of the home of their dreams.
The Nationals pay tribute to
superior new-home sales and marketing achievements by individual sales and
marketing professionals, home builders and associates and marketing councils. It
is the largest competition for new-home sales and marketing professionals and
