Learn It & Log It: Real Estate Agents
(A Five-Part Homeowner Education Series)
Video Explanation
Understanding the Agent’s Role in Homebuilding
Objective:
To help homeowners understand how real estate agents support not just buying and selling — but strategically planning, analyzing, and connecting throughout the building journey.
Learn It:
Your real estate agent isn’t just a sales representative.
They’re your market guide — helping you identify valuable lots, evaluate zoning potential, and understand resale projections before you even break ground.
An agent’s insight can help ensure your investment appreciates the moment it’s built.
Log It:
✅ Create a Real Estate Agent section in your Digital Home Manual.
✅ Log:
Agent’s Name and Brokerage
License Number
Phone / Email / Website
Specialty (Land, New Construction, Luxury, Investment, etc.)
✅ Add a short note: “How I met them / Why I chose them” — it’ll help recall working relationships later.T
Tip: Ask your agent to explain neighborhood growth, zoning updates, and long-term resale trends — then log those insights for your design phase.

Market Analysis & Value Tracking
To teach homeowners how to document market research from their agent and track property value evolution throughout construction.
Agents provide comparative market analyses (CMAs) that reveal how similar homes are priced nearby.
These reports help you make smart design decisions and avoid overbuilding for your area.
✅ Create a Market Analysis tab.
✅ Upload:
Current CMA reports
Property valuation estimates
Neighborhood sales comps
✅ Log notes such as:
“Agent predicts 15% value growth post-completion based on new builds nearby.”
✅ Add update reminders every six months: “Request updated CMA from agent.”
Tip: Keep these files even after construction — they’ll help when refinancing or selling later.
Communication, Coordination & Team Integration
To keep the homeowner connected to the full professional network — ensuring your agent stays looped in on permits, appraisals, and design milestones.
Your agent can act as a communication bridge between lenders, appraisers, and even builders during critical project milestones.A well-informed agent ensures smoother financing and faster resale preparation.
✅ In your Communication Log, create a “Real Estate Agent” section.
✅ Record:
Meeting Dates / Calls
Topics (e.g., lot search, appraisal updates, sale prep)
Action Items or Next Steps
