Turn contingent buyers into close-ready builder contracts.
ClearClose gives builder sales teams one place to send buyers who love the home but still need to solve their current property. We qualify the lead, evaluate the likely sale path, and route the buyer toward the solution most likely to close.
Qualification Flow
A builder lead becomes a defined path instead of an open contingency.
01
Builder lead
The buyer loves the new home and still owns another property.
02
Property read
Equity, pricing, timing, and current-home sellability are reviewed.
03
Path match
We identify the best-fit buy-before-sell, bridge, cash-offer, or listing path.
04
Builder update
Your sales team gets a clear next step and status for the buyer.

Where deals stall
The moment your sales team usually loses control
The buyer wants the new home, but a current property introduces questions about equity, timing, sale readiness, and financing. Without a clear handoff, the conversation slows down and the builder loses visibility.
Property uncertainty
No one has evaluated whether the current home is realistically sellable.
Product guesswork
The buyer gets routed to a program before anyone confirms fit.
Sales-team drag
Builder reps spend time chasing a transaction outside their lane.
Lost visibility
The builder has no concise next step or status to work from.
A practical handoff
One lead in. One clear path back.
01
Builder lead

Equity, pricing, timing, and current-home sellability are reviewed.
03

Pipeline visibility
How much pipeline reaches the contingency moment?

Potential exposed pipeline

Across approximately 3 owner-buyer contracts.
A cleaner follow-up path starts with qualification.
