11/20/2025 Feature Update: A Fresh New Look + Powerful New Tools
New Home Buddy just received its biggest design upgrade ever–and we didn’t stop there.
This month’s update brings a cleaner UI, smarter workflows, a redesigned Client Details page, new QR code tools, clearer incentives, and deeper visibility across Connections.
Every change was built to help agents and builder reps work faster, share homes easier, and close more deals with less friction.
Let’s walk through everything that’s new:
- A Fresh, Modern UI Across the Entire Platform
- Redesigned Client Details Page
- New QR Code for Personal Links
- See How Many Connections a Builder Rep Has
- Clearer Incentives and BTSA Information
A Fresh, Modern UI Across the Entire Platform
We gave both the Agent Portal and Builder Portal a complete visual makeover.
Almost every page has been redesigned. You’ll notice cleaner spacing, better typography, updated colors, and improved consistency from top to bottom.
Whether you prefer Light Mode or Dark Mode, the platform now feels smoother, brighter, and far more polished:
Here’s what’s improved across both portals:
- Cleaner colors and typography that’s easier to read
- Consistent spacing and layout across all screens
- Better navigation and visual hierarchy
- Updated iconography
- More modern buttons and form fields
- Global UI refinements that make every page feel cohesive
This redesign is the foundation for even more improvements coming soon, including updates to the Clients list and Lead Gen Search pages.
Redesigned Client Details Page
The Client Details page was rebuilt from the ground up.
Before, the layout felt cluttered. Important actions were hard to find. Engagement tracking also wasn’t front-and-center. Now everything is cleaner, simpler, and easier to scan.
What’s new:
1. A reorganized layout
Saved Searches, Favorites, and Activity are separated cleanly so you can focus on what matters.
2. A much larger Activity Feed
You now have a full, timestamped activity log with every home viewed or favorited. This makes follow-up easier and smarter.
3. Clearer buttons and actions
“New Search,” “Notes,” and “View Favorites Map” are easier to find.
4. Improved mobile layout
Client details now look great on every device — even when switching between searches, activity, and favorites.
This page is now one of the fastest ways to understand a buyer’s intent with just a quick glance.
New QR Code for Personal Links
Your Personal Link now comes with a built-in QR code–and it behaves differently depending on your device.
On Desktop
Click the QR code icon and download the QR image instantly.
You can drop it onto:
- Flyers
- Open house sign-in sheets
- Yard signs
- Postcards
- Email signatures
- Business cards
Agents can use QR codes to generate new leads from print marketing.
Builder reps can use them to help local agents connect with them instantly.
On Mobile
Tapping the QR icon opens your phone’s share options.
You can:
- Text the QR code
- Save it to your photos
- Drop it into group chats
- AirDrop it at events
- Send it via Messenger or WhatsApp
It’s the fastest way to share your branded link without typing a single word.
See How Many Connections a Builder Rep Has
In the Agent Portal, when you search for a builder rep on the Connections page, you’ll now see the total number of connections that rep has.
This appears as a small icon badge next to their name:
Why this matters:
- Agents can quickly identify highly connected reps
- Reps with more connections often respond faster and collaborate more
- It builds social proof and trust before forming a new connection
Connections are still fully agent-initiated–builder reps cannot add agents themselves. This ensures agents always stay in control.
Clearer Incentives and BTSA Information
We improved the incentives section on Home Details pages so agents can clearly understand all the financial benefits tied to a home.
This includes:
- BTSA incentives
- Commission percentage
- Builder-paid closing costs
- Promotional interest rates
- Additional incentive promotions
Each incentive category includes a purple tooltip icon with a simple explanation of what that field means:
This extra clarity helps agents talk confidently about deals — without having to look up builder terminology, acronyms, or incentive structures.
Next Steps
Here’s how to get the most out of this update today:
1. Download your QR code and start using it on flyers, postcards, and at open houses.
This works for both agents and builder reps.
2. Visit any Client Details page to explore the new layout.
Check the Activity Feed and use it to guide your follow-up.
3. Try the new signup flow with a colleague to see the improved messaging.
Great for training and team onboarding.
4. Agents: Check your Connections page and search for reps you work with.
You’ll now see how many other agents trust them.
5. Explore incentives on any home.
Hover over the tooltips to see the new explanations.
November’s update brings some of the most meaningful improvements we’ve ever released.
The platform is now smoother, sharper, and easier to use — whether you’re creating searches, connecting with reps, or helping a buyer find the perfect home.
And this is only the beginning.
More UI updates, shortcuts, and time-saving features are already on the way.
Thanks for being part of New Home Buddy — and for helping us continue to change the way new homes are sold.
