Real Estate Agent Program FAQ's
There are four ways to sign up for the Realtor® Participation Program:
- It is preferred that the Real Estate Agents brings the prospective client(s), on their initial visit, to register the client and him/herself on the Guest Registration Card with the Arbor Homes Community Sales Manager.
If it is not possible to accompany your client on their first visit, we ask that you contact us in advance of their visit in any of the following ways:
- Register your client on our website.
- Connect with our responsive team of Online Sales Consultants (OSCs) or Community Sales Managers by phone or email. They are eager to register your clients and discuss how we can best serve their needs.
- If a client does visit the sales model on their own, they must list the Real Estate Agent on their first visit for the Agent to be included in the sale.
Arbor Homes has many programs to accommodate specific client situations. Contact a Community Sales Manager today for more details.
