7/9/2025 Feature Update: Connections, Create Search Improvements, & Client Activity Tracking!

We’re halfway through the year and New Home Buddy is only picking up steam. Today, we’re sharing a jam-packed feature update designed to help you work faster, collaborate better, and turn more browsers into real buyers.

From smarter saved searches to deeper client insights and better builder-agent partnerships — here’s what’s new.

• Builder Connections Are Live
• Improved Create Search Flow: 3 Simple Steps
• Client Activity Tracker
• Clearer “Copy Link” Buttons
• New Builder Partners
• Platform Milestones

🤝 NEW: Builder Connections Are Live!

Agents and builder sales reps can now officially connect inside the platform! With over 1,261 connections made in just the first 6 days, this feature is already changing the game.

What does it do?

• Agents can choose a Builder Rep they trust — right from the portal or a Rep’s personal link.
• Once connected, that Rep replaces the default contact on listings from that builder.
• Reps receive real-time lead alerts when a connected agent’s client shows interest in one of their homes.
• Bonus: A “Quick Notify” button makes it easy to alert your Builder Rep about an interested buyer — without needing to fill out a form.

Agents stay in control, and reps get better visibility and faster follow-up. It’s a win-win built to drive sales faster.

🔍 Improved Create Search Flow: 3 Simple Steps

We’ve streamlined the process of creating a Saved Search. It’s now easier and faster than ever:

This new flow saves time and reduces confusion, whether you’re prospecting or prepping for a buyer consult.

📊 New: Activity Feed on Client Details Pages

No more guessing what your client looked at or when. Here’s what you’ll see when you visit a Client’s page:

You can now:

• See a timestamped list of every home your client viewed or favorited.
• Click any home to jump right into the listing.
• Use this insight to follow up with precision — even if you missed the email alerts.

This feature is especially helpful for keeping track of client activity across busy weeks. Consider it your new daily check-in tool to stay organized and responsive.

Note: Be sure to click refresh on a Client details page to see the latest changes. We’re working on making this update in realtime!

🔗 Clearer “Copy Link” Buttons (And Why It Matters)

We’ve updated the Copy Link icons to make one of our most powerful features more obvious.

First, on the Home Details page, the copy icon now reads: “COPY HOME LINK”:

Also, on your portal’s top bar, the Personal Link icon has been unified and made more visible:

Why the update? Because Copy Link is the easiest way to generate leads, especially on social media.

Every link you share is branded to YOU and captures buyers when they favorite or inquire — but we found this tool was underused.

📌 Try it next time you’re posting a home tour or walkthrough video — and watch the leads roll in.
