A 19-home development, liquidated
Construction Sales System
I ran the paid-acquisition side of the methodology for a homebuilder: a content and advertising system that sold direct and cut the agent commission out.
- 48
- Homes sold
- $19.2M
- Total sales volume
- $557K
- Net savings versus agent commission
- 30:1
- Return on ad spend
- 192
- Qualified, credit-ready buyers
The system
Watch how it works.
A five-stage diagram. Paid ads draw clicks, a tenth convert to leads, a credit and timeline screen filters them to qualified buyers, and qualified buyers close as homes sold direct to the builder.
01 Paid reach
02 Traffic
03 Capture
04 Screening
05 Closings
Paid reach pulls active buyers, a screen filters them down to the credit-ready, and the builder sells direct with no agent fee in the way.
The starting position
A mid-sized homebuilder had nineteen completed homes sitting as inventory. Traditional realtor partnerships were producing slow results, and commission costs were eating the margin.
They needed a way to generate qualified buyers directly, without depending on agents.
What I installed
Content plus paid acquisition, screened hard
I built a content engine of high-quality video showing the homes, the communities, and the lifestyle, and ran it through dual-platform advertising on Meta and Google aimed at active homebuyers.
Every lead hit an immediate qualification screen for credit readiness and timeline. Heavy filtering was the point, not a flaw.
Outcomes
From $19,000 in ad spend: 3,840 ad clicks, a ten percent conversion to 384 leads, and 192 credit-ready buyers after screening. Forty-eight homes sold at a 25 percent close rate.
Total sales volume reached $19.2M. Selling direct to the builder rather than through agents saved $576,000 in commission. After the marketing investment, net savings came to $557,000.
What it proves
A ninety percent drop from clicks to qualified buyers is healthy and cost-effective. Quality beats quantity: 192 screened buyers outperformed thousands of unvetted ones.
Selling direct turns marketing from a cost center into a profit center. The win was not spending more. It was qualifying better and removing the intermediary cost.
