Builders are increasingly reaching out to real estate professionals, hoping to build stronger ties so that agents will bring them more qualified buyers for their new-home inventories, RISMedia reports. Some builders are even stepping up their bonus programs and commissions for real estate professionals.<\/p>\n

About two-thirds of new homes sold in 2013 were purchased by buyers brought to builders by REALTORS\u00ae, according to National Association of REALTORS\u00ae research.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been 100 percent REALTOR\u00ae-listed for 21 years,\u201d says David Erickson, president of Grayhawk Homes in Columbus, Ga. \u201cWe\u2019re in a small market, and if you don\u2019t have a REALTOR\u00ae relationship, you don\u2019t sell homes. Period.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the past, some builders and REALTORS\u00ae may have seen their relationship more as rivals, but that has faded, according to an article at RISMedia. For example, the Providence Group of Georgia posts on its website that \u201cwe cherish our loyal REALTOR\u00ae community and would love the opportunity to stay in touch with you by providing you up-to-date information on our community grand openings, special REALTOR\u00ae incentives, REALTOR\u00ae events, and community updates.\u201d The builder will regularly hold lunches for REALTORS\u00ae, says Kelly Fink, the Providence Group of Georgia\u2019s vice president of marketing and online sales.<\/p>\n

Also, builders and real estate professionals have teamed to iron out potential transaction mishaps. Georgia\u2019s REALTOR\u00ae and Home Builder trade groups joined forces to create a uniform construction purchase and sales contract to include details on the buyer-related binding arbitration issues that had previously been a sticking point for smaller builders, RISMedia reports.<\/p>\n
