How to BOOST YOUR Real Estate Business with Builder Boost
At Builder Boost, our focus is on the connection between agents and builders. There is still nothing more important in real estate today than personal relationships! Your degree of success hinges upon what you know and who you know.
Our mission is to keep agents connected and knowledgeable about new home construction so that they are highly valuable to their clients. Our team collects, organizes, and consolidates information so that agents have quick access to all the latest inventory, promotions, grand openings, closeouts, and events. At Builder Boost, we make it easier for agents to navigate the new home market by providing them with up-to-date accurate information and personalized service.
Here are a few tips on how to utilize the Builder Boost resources and services to BOOST YOUR Real Estate Business
Builder Boost provides agents with an exclusive weekly Agent Only Inventory Lists. (Many homes not yet on MLS.)
Did you know that each and every week Builder Boost gets all the latest inventory updates directly from the builders? This means that you have exclusive up-to-date information before it hits web portals or even the MLS. The new home market moves fast and because homes are in various stages of construction, pricing fluctuates often. Your connection with us makes you even more valuable to your clients as they do not have access to this information and it can often be tedious for them to research new construction on their own.
New construction pricing and availability fluctuates and changes daily. Agents know this and are the best to explain this to their clients. Builder Boost works hard to stay on top of these changes so that we can provide accurate up- to –date information for you to then pass on to your clients. Most of all, we want to give agents this information so that they are knowledgeable and of tremendous value to their clients. Agent only information is powerful and keeps YOU leading the charge and it truly helps your client to stay on track.
Pro Tip 1: Let your sphere know that because you have connections, you have access to lists of new home inventory. Run a weekly facebook ad or a simple post letting the world know that you have a list of new construction homes and many are not yet online. Be consistent in your messaging. When someone in your network begins to think about purchasing NEW, they will think of you.
Pro Tip 2: Download the weekly inventory list each week from Builder Boost. Filter the cities, filter the school districts, filter for pricing. Analyze your market of focus. There is a lot of knowledge to be gained by reviewing new home pricing and availability in certain areas. This will help you talk the talk to your buyers whether they buy a resale or a new construction home.

We’re here to help agents navigate the new home market. Think of us as an extension of your team.
Have you ever spent hours scouring the MLS and looking at websites only to come up with NO matches for a buyer need? If you are searching for unicorns, we just might be able to help! You simply fill out a form online and our team goes to work for you. If a need matches, we will set you up with the right builder representative.
There is NO catch! The service really is free and we do not take from anyone’s commissions. Our team at Builder Boost simply makes the connection between agents, buyers, and builders because it is a win-win for all involved. We work directly with the builders to help them get their information to busy agents.
Pro Tip 1: Even if your clients are not looking for new, you may want to send in their need. It is always smart to get 1-2 on the showing schedule so that they can compare and so that YOU can make that initial introduction to the new home builders in the area.
Pro Tip 2: Make appointments! This is also a valuable tool for you to make appointments. If you know your clients may consider new, send out the need, get your answers back, and then request an appointment. An appointment ensures the builder is ready and prepared. Now when you go, sit back and let the seasoned builder rep tell your client all about the features and community! Sometimes new build sales will be the easiest transactions of them all.
