Yet, within the hustle and bustle, challenges emerge. One major hurdle is the attribution of leads, a source of friction and occasional misunderstandings among stakeholders.

In this blog, we embark on a journey into this colossal challenge, and we'll introduce you to a trusted player who's adeptly crafting the solution!

The Attribution Challenge

The attribution challenge

In today's real estate landscape, builders face a perplexing dilemma when it comes to identifying the true source of their leads.

To understand it better, let’s say in a big home-finding puzzle, it can be confusing when lots of people help. It's like a game without clear rules, and that's not fair. The people who build homes and the helpers should be a team, but sometimes they don't get along.

Sometimes, the home builders take all the credit, even when the helpers did a lot of work. This can put off the helpers.

Similarly, consider a scenario where a single customer interacts with multiple channel partners. This can introduce a level of ambiguity, leading to multiple inquiries for a single lead. The situation becomes even more complicated when trying to determine the primary channel partner responsible for the brokerage in the case of a converted lead. This process can strain builder-channel partner relationships, undermining the collaborative spirit that should define the industry.

Additionally, builders often claim in-house leads post-conversion, attributing them to their marketing efforts. While this may seem like a straightforward strategy, it can undermine the extensive groundwork laid by channel partners in engaging customers, organizing site visits, and providing successful guidance. It's disheartening to see these dedicated efforts potentially disregarded when a customer is ready to make a purchase, as some builders might attribute the lead as 'in-house' to avoid brokerage payouts.

These issues stem from the lack of a standardized lead facilitation process and structured builder-channel partner tie-ups. The absence of such a framework has been the root cause of a host of industry-wide dilemmas.
