Organic telephone and email inquiries are automatically forwarded to the builder’s preferred personnel. Callers are asked to enter the MLS# which is always at the beginning of the property description. Calls are automatically re-routed to the builder’s specified number. Our email system is programmed to recognize the property of interest and automatically forwards the email to up to five email addresses.

The Lead Manager collects leads from a variety of sources with all the information needed to follow up with interested buyers.

Increases direct non-commission sales by directing buyers straight to your homes. Buyers can search real estate portals for Open Houses, and with that information go directly to the property without an appointment with a real estate agent.

When an agent cannot find a home in MLS that meets a client’s criteria, they can post those criteria in MLS. Then, when a listing appears on MLS that meets those criteria, both agent and client receive an email notice. The client can then indicate if they love or like the property. HomesUSA.com makes this information available to builders and their sales teams.

Five online reports include Selling Agent, New Home Sales, CMA, Realtor Office, and Listing Agent. In two seconds, a report with current MLS information is produced and available for downloading or printing.

In addition to managing MLS listings HomesUSA.com provides an exclusive suite of services developed specifically for production home builders that are unavailable elsewhere. MLS listing management by agents’ and builders’ in-house does little more than enter and change MLS information.
