Recent Leads — Never miss a lead again

Every lead across your division — including the ones that went directly to individual reps through Connections — in one chronological feed. Here’s how Recent Leads works and why it’s the panel that ties your whole team together.

Who can access this? Admins, Managers, and Portal Viewers. Sales Reps use the Builder Portal and don’t have Sales Portal access. Learn more about user roles →

What Recent Leads Shows

Recent Leads is a reverse-chronological list of every lead your division received during the selected time period. Newest leads appear at the top.

Each lead shows you the agent’s name and contact info, the home details (if applicable), who received the lead (your default contact or a specific rep), what action triggered the lead, and the date and time it happened.

Click any lead to open a detail view with the agent’s full contact info and, when applicable, the home address and community.

Why Connection-Based Leads Matter

Here’s the key reason the Recent Leads panel exists.

When an agent connects with one of your reps on New Home Buddy, that rep — not your default online sales contact — receives the lead notification. That’s by design. Agents want to work with specific reps they trust, and our Connection feature routes leads accordingly.

The catch: before the Sales Portal, division leadership had no easy way to see these leads. They happened in rep-to-rep email threads, out of view of the broader team.

Recent Leads changes that. Every lead — whether it went to your default contact or to a specific rep through a Connection — shows up in one unified feed. Full visibility across your entire division, without asking anyone for updates.

Types of Leads You’ll See

If it’s a real lead tied to your division’s homes, it appears in Recent Leads — regardless of which group it falls into.

📥

To your default contact

When an agent doesn’t have a Connected rep

  • Buyer Needs Requests
  • Agent clicked on default contact info
  • Agent Tour Requests (inventory homes only)
  • Agent Requested More Information (plans only)

📅

To individual reps

Through Connections or direct buyer activity

  • Buyer Needs Requests
  • Agent clicked on rep’s contact info
  • Agent Tour Requests (inventory homes only)
  • Agent’s Client Requested a Tour (inventory only)
  • Agent Requested More Information (plans only)
  • Agent’s Client Requested More Info (plans only)
  • Agent has a client that favorited homes
  • New lead signed up on a rep’s saved search

What’s Inside Each Lead

Every entry in the feed includes the same core information.

How to Filter by Division and Time Period

The Recent Leads panel updates when you change either of these two Dashboard controls:

  • Division selector — If you manage multiple divisions, switch between them at the top of the Dashboard. Each division shows its own lead feed.
  • Time period buttons — Choose from Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days (default), Last 60 Days, or Last 90 Days.

For a deeper look at how filters work across the whole Dashboard, see the Dashboard Overview.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Recent Leads

Recent Leads is the one Dashboard panel that rewards a daily habit. Here’s how to make it work for you and your team:

DAILY

Start your day with the 7-day view

Switch to Last 7 Days for a focused snapshot of new activity. A quick scan catches anything that came in overnight or might have slipped past a rep.

WEEKLY

Look for rep patterns

If a particular rep is consistently receiving strong leads through their Connections, they’re doing the relationship work. Recognize that publicly — it motivates the rest of the team.

WEEKLY

Flag leads that need follow-up

If a lead came in three days ago and you know the rep is traveling, a quick nudge to a teammate can keep the agent relationship warm.

PRO TIP

Pair it with Builder Rep Performance

The Builder Rep Performance panel shows who’s generating activity. Recent Leads shows you what that activity is producing in real time. Together, they tell the full story.
