What's in it for you
However the lot sells, you still earn.
- 1
You sell the lot
You keep all of your lot commission.
- 2
Your client builds with us
If you find a client for us to build on your lot, you earn a commission.
- 3
We bring the buyer
You still earn the lot commission, plus a referral fee from the build.
The details are in a written agreement we share with you, so your broker can review it.
How a Ghost Listing works
Five steps, from stale lot to new-home listing.
- 1
We find a lot that fits
We look for lots in neighborhoods that fit our homes - the high $500s to $2 million+ - ideally where a marketing sign on the lot is allowed.
- 2
The seller gives us first refusal
The lot seller grants Vaughn Custom Homes a right of first refusal, with a refundable $50 option deposit. We invest in the sign, the renderings and a site evaluation. The lot price is set in that agreement.
- 3
The lot is relisted as a new home
The listing changes from a lot listing to a new-construction listing: one of our 12 pre-engineered plans, renderings, a floor plan, and one price for lot and home.
- 4
A lot-only offer still goes through
If another buyer makes an acceptable offer on the lot alone, we release our right of first refusal right away, and the lot sells as it normally would.
- 5
A buyer signs to build - we buy the lot
If a buyer signs with us to build, we buy the lot at the agreed price, with a new purchase agreement within 5 days.
The fine print
We don't do a Ghost Listing on every lot. We're selective about the lot, the neighborhood and the price range.
