1. Skip the Consumer Traffic

Consumer sites generate clicks. But not sales. Cold leads cost builders time and don’t deliver results.

To buy pre-construction homes, real buyers trust agents. And agents rely on accurate, up-to-date listings. That’s why you need a space where professionals work—not browsers.

Builders Update connects your homes to working agents. Not curious consumers.

2. Partner with Real Agents

Agents bring better leads. They're local. They work fast. They know what their buyers want. And they don't waste your time.

Want a quicker close? Skip the retail route. Focus on strong agent relationships.

List your pre-construction house for sale where agents are actually looking.

3. List Inventory That’s Moving

Agents spot buyer patterns fast. They know what floorplans go first. What price points sit. And what upgrades buyers ask about.

Use Builders Update to highlight the models already generating interest. Smart exposure leads to smarter closings.

4. Share the Full Build Plan

Agents want to know what's next. If you're phasing development, post it. Show future parks, commercial areas, and what’s coming next.

The more a buyer's agent knows, the faster they close. Clear data helps agents sell your homes with confidence.

5. Time Your Release

Don’t list everything at once. Good agents know how to drive urgency.

Builders Update lets you control what goes live, and when. Test price points. Add incentives. Pull back if needed.

Work the rhythm. Don’t dump your full plan onto the open web.

6. Disclose the Details

Agents will find the fine print, so make it work for you. Be upfront about HOA, fees, finish levels, and delays. That builds trust fast.

The more a buyer’s agent knows before they book a showing, the fewer questions you get later. Builders Update lets you share complete, transparent details for every listing.

7. Use Agent-Only Platforms

Why waste time with unqualified leads?

Agents want real inventory. They come to Builders Update because we’re built for them. Not for casual browsers or weekend buyers.

Your listings won’t get buried under resale ads or bait properties. Our network is clean, private, and pro-only.

That means faster movement, fewer showings, and more control.

Conclusion: From Builders Update

We work with builders who don’t want to burn weeks chasing bad leads. If you're ready to list smarter, we make it easy.

Our platform connects your pre-construction inventory with agents who already have real buyers. No filters. No fluff.

If you want to sell more and sell faster, list where the agents are. Builders Update was made for that.

Let’s shorten your sales cycle and fill your community quicker.

FAQs

1. Why do agents close faster than consumer leads?

Agents pre-screen buyers. They handle objections, paperwork, and delays. Builders close faster because agents do the heavy lifting.

2. What kind of listings attract the most agent attention?

Clear pricing, updated availability, builder bonuses, and unit-level photos. Agents need the data to close. Builders Update lets you control that info easily.

3. How does an agent-only platform help reduce holding costs?

Faster closings mean faster capital return. The longer a home sits, the more you pay. Agents help reduce that timeline—especially when listings are clean and current.

4. What if I need to move inventory fast?

Use Builders Update filters to spotlight quick-close units. Agents are always looking for move-in ready homes. Let them know exactly what you can deliver now.

5. Why do repeat builders choose Builders Update?

Because our agent network works. We don’t drown listings in retail noise. We give builders real access to the people who move homes.
