They Had ONE Job: Why Your Self-Tour Platform Might Be Costing You Sales

As a homebuilder, your job is already complex. You’re investing time, strategy, and budget to build beautiful homes, craft compelling campaigns, and drive the right buyers to your model. Self-tour platforms should make your life easier. It’s an investment in your business to offer a smooth, user-friendly, and branded experience to promising leads.

In other words, it has one job—keep the buyer focused on you.

So, why are some platforms promoting your competitors directly next to your homes?

You Brought the Buyer. They Sent Them Away.

When your buyer is most engaged—browsing your homes, clicking “schedule tour,” ready to take the next step—they may be shown similar homes nearby with a slightly larger garage, a limited-time incentive, or a lower price tag.

Just like that, they’re gone. You may not even know it’s happening.

A Botched Buyer Journey

You can build the perfect experience, bring the lead in, nurture their interest, and follow up promptly. Then, the lead goes cold and you’re left wondering why. Behind the scenes, they were quietly guided out of your ecosystem and into someone else’s.

Your homes aren’t the problem. Your platform might be.

If a Sales Rep Did This, You’d Fire Them

Imagine your sales representative is showing a buyer around your model home. The buyer is engaged, interested, and asking questions. Then, the rep pulls out their tablet and says, “You should check out the community across the street. They’ve got some good deals right now.”

You wouldn’t tolerate it. So why let your self-tour platform do the same thing?

You deserve a self-tour vendor who offers a branded experience that promotes only you, so your leads stay with you through the whole process.
