  • Daily logs with photos and the weather

Your buyers

Buyers stay informed. You stay focused.

Each buyer gets their own page with your logo: how far along the home is, what's happening next, the photos you share, and change orders to sign. Fewer "any update?" calls, and buyers who send you referrals.

  • Progress, photos and what's next
  • Change orders and selections to sign
  • Documents in one place
  • Messages that land in your inbox

Questions

What builders ask us first.

Does this replace our project management software?
It can. Schedules, daily logs, change orders, punch lists, trade partners, budgets, draws and a buyer page are all built in, and a signed contract starts the job for you.
Do we need a separate CRM?
No. Customer records, a sales pipeline, lead capture from your website, two-way texting from your own number and automatic follow-ups are all built in.
Can we keep using our own contracts?
Yes. We set up your attorney's templates, and they fill themselves in from the buyer record. Buyers, co-buyers and you sign online.
How long does it take to get going?
Send us your files on a Monday and you can send your first real quote that Wednesday. We do the setup and train your team on your own communities.
Does it work with QuickBooks?
Bills export as a file QuickBooks imports today. A direct connection is on the way.
Is there a long contract?
No. It's month-to-month at $397 a month for your whole team, with every feature and unlimited users.
