WHY THIS NUMBER MATTERS TO AN AGENT

When most of a market’s new homes come from a handful of builders, a handful of written policies decides who gets paid. Each builder sets its own rule for how a buyer’s agent must register a client — some at the first visit, some before the first online inquiry — and the rules differ builder to builder, community to community. Miss one and you can lose the commission on a deal you did the work on.

NewBuilt keeps the registration rules for national, regional, and local builders — 8 of the ten above — each cited to the builder’s own page, so the answer you act on is one you can check. If it doesn’t cover a builder yet, it tells you.

Builder policies vary by community and change — always confirm current terms with the builder.
