David Weekley Homes Joins New Home Buddy in San Antonio

One of the most trusted names in new construction, David Weekley Homes is now officially live on New Home Buddy for the San Antonio market!

What makes this a big deal? They’re live via automated data feed—meaning their listings are pulled directly from the source and always up to date.

Why Data Feeds Matter

For builders, our XML feed options eliminate the manual back-and-forth of updating inventory. That means:

• No outdated info
• No duplicate work
• No delays

Just clean, builder-approved listings, updated every few hours, automatically. Builders like David Weekley now enjoy a hands-off experience with 100% accuracy—and agents get the freshest listings the second they hit the system.

Davidson Homes & Scott Felder Homes Now Running on Data Feeds (San Antonio)

Two more builder partners are making big moves:

• Davidson Homes and Scott Felder Homes are both now fully live via automated XML data feeds in the San Antonio market.

Previously, both builders were updating inventory manually—now it’s hands-free and always up to date.

This upgrade means:

• Agents and buyers see accurate, builder-verified inventory
• Builders save hours every week avoiding spreadsheet chaos
• Faster time-to-market for every new home listed

Whether you’re sharing listings or scheduling tours, these feeds ensure the info is always fresh.

Automatic Lead Capture: Personal Links & Lead Gen Searches Just Got Smarter

Let’s talk about the game-changer: You can now turn any Personal Link or Lead Gen Search into a lead magnet. Automatically.

Here’s how it works:

1. When someone clicks your Lead Gen Search or Personal Link and submits a contact form…
2. They’re instantly added to your Clients > New Leads section (see screenshot below).
3. The exact link they used becomes a personalized Client Saved Search—no extra work required.

You’ll also get an instant email notification so you can follow up while they’re still engaged:

This means:

• Saved Searches are created for them—so they can start favoriting homes right away
• Every social post, text message, or flyer can generate real leads
• New clients show up automatically in your system

So whether you’re posting Lead Gen Searches on Instagram or a new contact clicks your Personal Link in your email signature —every inquiry becomes a real, trackable lead.

🧲 No more anonymous interest. No more leads falling through the cracks.

Smarter Email Notifications for Agents & Builders

You asked, we listened.

We’ve completely rebuilt our email notification system from the ground up—with over 20 unique automation sequences—to make sure the right people get the right information at the right time.

Here’s what that looks like:

• 💡 Agents get notified when they receive a new lead from their link
• 📨 Leads get a confirmation email—with a direct link to their new Client Saved Search
• 🏗 The Builder contact on the home get notified when an agent shows interest in one of their homes and when an agent’s client shows interest (agent contact info only, client details stay private)

This update is all about clarity and connection—no more black hole leads, no more “Did they get it?” confusion.

“This isn’t just lead gen. It’s relationship-building on autopilot.”

— Chris Marti, Co-Founder @ New Home Buddy

This system creates mutual visibility between builders and agents—so you’re no longer wondering who’s engaged, who’s interested, or what’s next.

It’s a big step toward our goal: helping agents and builders work together to sell more homes, faster.

New “Trainings” Tab for Agents & Builders

We’re making it even easier to learn how to win on New Home Buddy.

• 📆 A link to schedule a 1-on-1 onboarding or strategy session
• 🛟 Easy way to contact Support
