Chapter Ten For Realtors

We started on your side of the table

Our co-founder built her career in real estate before she ever built a home. We know what your name on a referral costs you, and we treat it accordingly.

Your client stays your client. Every time.
Our Commitment To You

Four promises, in writing

Referring a client to a builder is a leap of faith. These are the commitments we make so it never feels like one.

01

Your Client Stays Your Client

We do not go around you, market around you, or take the relationship direct after closing. Their next build, their referrals, and their friends come back through you.

02

Your Full Commission, Paid At Closing

Your commission is written into the contract and funded at closing, on every home we build, whether it is one of our communities or a custom build on their land.

03

You Stay In The Loop

You get the same weekly updates, selection deadlines, and schedule changes your client gets, so you are never the last to know when they call you.

04

Hard Questions, Answered In Front Of You

Budget, allowances, change orders, and delays get discussed openly with you in the room. Nothing lands on your client that you have not already seen.

Rachel Rost, Co-Founder and CEO of Story Built Homes
Why It Matters To Us

Our CEO came up in real estate

Rachel Rost started her career working for a real estate team, long before Story Built Homes existed. She has sat in the listing appointment, worked the weekend showings, held the deal together through underwriting, and watched a builder either make an agent look brilliant or make them regret the introduction.

That history is why our process is built the way it is. Agents are not a lead source to us. You are colleagues who spent years earning the trust we get to borrow for a few months, and returning it intact is the whole job.

Exceptional agents want exactly what we want: a genuinely well-built home at a fair and honest price.

How It Works

Three steps, no surprises

01

Register Your Client

Introduce them by email, phone, or in person on a homesite. One message is enough, and it protects the relationship from that moment forward.

02

We Build, You Stay Informed

Design, selections, and construction run through our team, with you copied on the updates that matter and welcome at every milestone walk.

03

You Get Paid At Closing

Your commission funds at closing alongside everyone else. No waiting, no chasing, no conditions invented after the fact.

Register your client on their first visit or first contact with us, in person or by email, and your commission is protected for the life of that relationship.

Bring us your client

Send us a name, a lot, or just a question about whether a build makes sense for them. We will tell you honestly either way.
