Working with Builders

Albi Kociu

Hey guys,

I've been trying to research this on the web without much luck ... and then I remembered that there's this site called BP that I'm a member of!

I'm trying to learn more about the process of working with builders as an agent - specifically on the listing side. I have a couple of questions:

1. Do most builders have in-house agents that work exclusively for them to list properties? I assume some of the bigger ones (who build condo complexes, etc) do, but what about the smaller ones who build one-off, custom homes? Who do they list their homes with? 

2. These small/medium size builders, where do they find customers who need a custom home built? 

3. Do most of these builders go the first route or the second? In other words, do they usually buy the land themselves to build a new home on and sell? Or do they mostly stick to finding customers who need new homes custom built? A combination of both? 

I'm not sure if those make sense. I tried to organize my thoughts as much as possible. I'm basically just trying to get an understanding of how the new construction process works... for big and small companies. Any insight would be much appreciated!!

 Why'd you stop? Cause investing is more passive? 

 Because I lost my *** on a project. Ran me off from RE for awhile; I lost my nerve.
