How do I compete with the on-site sales consultant?
You don't compete. You partner. Here's how.
How NewBuilt turns the on-site sales consultant into your partner
It knows how the on-site sales consultant really gets paid.
The model-home consultant works for the builder, not your buyer — NewBuilt knows their incentives, their scripts, and where their interests and yours actually line up, so you stop competing and start co-oping.
It scripts the buyer conversation for you.
The one sentence to tell your buyer before they tour, and how to reintroduce yourself to an on-site sales consultant who's been emailing them directly — worded for your selling style so it lands.
When a buyer drifts toward the model, it gives you the move.
Paste what happened and get the read, what's at stake, and the one step to take today. No “it depends.”

Example situation
“I have a buyer interested in a Taylor Morrison community across town. They visited the model home without me last weekend and loved it. Now the on-site sales consultant has been emailing them directly. My buyer says 'the builder's agent was so helpful, do I even need you?' I don't know what to say without sounding desperate.”
Judgment —
Don't compete with the on-site sales consultant. Partner with them. They sell the builder's homes every day — you sell your buyer's interests. Different jobs, same goal: a closed deal.
Reality —
The on-site sales consultant knows the community, the available lots, the current incentives, and the construction timeline better than you ever will. That's their job. Your job is everything they can't do: comparing this community to three others, negotiating beyond the price sheet, reviewing the contract for your buyer's protection, and managing the 90-day build process so your buyer doesn't miss deadlines. Builders want agents involved — a represented buyer closes faster and with fewer issues.
Cost —
Your buyer visited without you, which means you may not be registered as procuring cause. Most builders require agent registration on the first visit to pay co-op commission. Call the sales office now and ask about their registration policy — many builders will still register you if the buyer hasn't signed anything yet. The longer you wait, the harder this gets.
Move:
Call the on-site sales consultant today. Introduce yourself, register your buyer, and ask what incentives are currently available. Then sit down with your buyer and show them what you bring: a lender comparison, a community comparison, and your contract review process. You're not replacing the on-site sales consultant — you're the reason your buyer makes a confident decision instead of an emotional one.
