Broker Policy

WELCOME BROKERS AND AGENTS:


We value our relationships with brokers and real estate agents like you. Working together, we are able to help homebuyers find and purchase the new home of their dreams..

To help you take advantage of all the opportunities we offer, we have created some simple guidelines and policies, as outlined below.

Specific guidelines and policies can vary by community and property. Please contact the community sales consultant for qualifying properties, details, and registeration.

POLICY: Our agent/broker fee is a referral fee for walking in your client. Like most builders, we have a strict policy of requiring agents/brokers to accompany their clients on their first visit to a neighborhood, preview event or information seminar. We do not credit any commissions to the buyers through escrow, and we do not pay a commission to a principal buyer. See full Broker Cooperation Terms and Conditions below.

REGISTERING: On your client’s first visit to the community or on their first visit to preview event (you must accompany them), you must complete our Broker Registration form. If your client has not visited the community or attended a preview event before, we will allow you to register them and attach you to their file. While you are always welcome, from that point forward you no longer need to accompany the client on future visits.
