Should I sell new construction?
The commission is different. The game is different. Let's see if you're ready.
How NewBuilt gets you ready to sell new construction
It knows how the NC game differs from resale.

It maps your resale skills onto the new game.
Give it your background and it shows where your strengths carry over, where the gaps are, and the fastest path to your first builder deal — tuned to how you sell.
When you're weighing a community, it gives you the read.
Paste the builder and the co-op and get the read, what's at stake, and the one move to make. No “it depends.”

Example situation
“I've been selling resale for 6 years, averaging $4.2M/yr in volume. A national builder just opened a community near me and they're offering 3% co-op. My broker says new construction is a waste of time because the builder controls everything. But I keep losing buyers to the model home.”
Judgment —
Sell it. But go in with your eyes open.
Reality —
Your broker is half right — the builder controls the process. But you're already losing buyers there. The question isn't whether to work new construction — it's whether to get paid when your buyers walk into that model home anyway. At $4.2M volume, even a fifth of your pipeline considering new construction is $840k you're handing to the on-site sales consultant for free.
Cost —
The learning curve is real: you need to understand builder contracts, limited inspection rights, and preferred lender incentives. You'll also spend time without the listing control you're used to. But the alternative — pretending new construction doesn't exist in your market — costs more.
Move:
Register your next 3 buyers at the community before they walk in alone. Learn the builder's contract and incentive structure cold. Position yourself as the agent who knows both sides — resale and new. That's the edge.
