Scripts That Work for New Construction

Scenario

Send a buyer something worth clicking

You have a buyer. Send them something specific — a real floor plan they can actually go walk.

Script

Hey [name] — found a floor plan I think you'd like. It's at [community] by [builder] — you can see the layout, photos, and pricing. The model home is open if you want to walk it this weekend: [NewBuilt share link]

Scenario

Re-engage a cold lead

"Just checking in" is a dead end. A floor plan in a community they can actually visit is new information.

Script

Hey [name] — saw this and thought of you. [Builder] has this plan at [community] — [X] beds, [feature they mentioned]. The model home is worth a walk-through: [NewBuilt share link]

Scenario

Turn a resale buyer onto new construction

Most resale buyers have never seriously looked at new homes. A share link breaks both assumptions — real pricing, real locations.

Script

Hey — I know you're focused on resale, but walking through new-construction model homes is honestly the fastest way to figure out what layout and finishes you actually care about. This one's worth a look: [NewBuilt share link] No pressure to buy new. But you'll walk into resale showings knowing exactly what matters to you.

Scenario

Cold outreach — lead with the home, not yourself

Cold outreach dies when it leads with you. Flip the approach. Share a home someone can actually go walk through.

Script

Hey [name] — I came across some new builds in [area] that are worth knowing about. This one caught my eye: [NewBuilt share link] Worth a browse even if you're just curious — no sign-up or anything, just floor plans and photos of the actual model homes.

Scenario

Post content people actually stop scrolling for

Most agent social content is about the agent. A floor plan from a model home people can actually visit — that's content worth clicking.

Script

[X] beds · [X] baths · starting in the [price range]s in [area]. This layout is worth walking through in person. [NewBuilt share link] — or — Most people have no idea what new-construction homes actually look like inside. This one's worth a look. [NewBuilt share link]

Scenario

Follow up after an open house or event

You exchanged info. Now you need a reason to follow up that isn't "great meeting you!"

Script

Hey [name] — great meeting you at [community] today. Here's the model we were looking at so you can browse the floor plan and details at home: [NewBuilt share link] There are a few other plans in the same community worth checking out too.

Scenario

Handle a referral introduction

Skip the awkward "your friend gave me your number." Lead with a home that fits what they're looking for.

Script

Hey [name] — [referrer] mentioned you might be looking at homes in [area]. I found a floor plan I think is worth seeing — it's a model home you can actually walk through: [NewBuilt share link] No pressure, just thought it was a good fit based on what [referrer] told me.

Builder Script

Walking into a model home for the first time

Your first 90 seconds set the tone. Walk in like a professional who respects their turf.

Script

"Hey, I'm [name] with [brokerage]. I'm not here with a buyer today — I just wanted to walk the models and learn the community so I can speak to it honestly when I'm working with someone who's a fit. Mind if I take a look around?"

Builder Script

Learning a builder's process

Every builder does things differently. Learn how each one works before you bring a buyer.

Script

"I want to make sure I do this right on your end. What's your process for working with outside agents? I know every builder handles it a little differently."

Builder Script

Bringing a buyer to a model home

If you've done the prep, this is smooth. If you haven't, things can get awkward fast.

Script

[Day before]: "Hey [consultant name] — bringing [buyer name] in tomorrow to walk the models. Just wanted to give you a heads up. See you around [time]."

Builder Script

Becoming the agent builders refer to

Buyers walk in without an agent every weekend. When they ask for a recommendation — make sure it's your name.

Script

[After a close]: "Hey [consultant name] — just wanted to say thanks for making that transaction smooth. Always a pleasure working with you and the team. If you ever have buyers come through asking about agents, I'd love to be on your short list."

Builder Script

Getting early intel on new phases

The agents who know about a new phase early get buyers in early — better lots, better pricing, first pick.

Script

"Hey [consultant name] — anything coming up in the next phase I should know about? I've got a few buyers who are a good fit for this community and I'd love to give them the heads up."
