If you are a home builder, you may find yourself wondering if follow up is your weakest link. Well, it might just be. In the 2020 Online Homebuyer Mystery Shop Report, Denim Marketing, Melinda Brody & Company and Blue Gypsy Inc. compared the follow-up efforts of 50 home builders across the country for 30 days. The builders were chosen randomly, with nearly 30 coming from the Builder Top 200 List. The survey reveals a variety of statistics and interesting findings regarding follow up methods used during the homebuying process.

It’s no surprise that follow up is important for lead conversions. Home builder marketing efforts drive traffic to builder websites, but if follow up falls flat when a lead comes in, those marketing dollars are wasted and the sale is potentially lost. A huge factor that influences the homebuyer customer experience is the builder’s effective use of an online sales counselor (OSCs).

Melinda Brody & Company, known for its effective video mystery shops, developed an online shopping protocol for this survey. Mystery shoppers visited individual builder websites during normal business hours. Shoppers filled out an online contact form with their information and asked a relevant question about the builder or community in the comments section of the form. Responses were tracked for 30 days and examined as a whole and in two distinct groups – builders with OSCs (58%) and builders without OSCs (42%).
