Contracts against plan

MarJunSep

Tracking four contracts behind plan since July. Gold is actual, dashed is plan.

Ask the Desk

Which lead sources produced firm contracts this quarter?

Seven from broker referrals, two from private previews, one from digital and one walk-in. Brokers convert tours to contracts at three times the rate of digital.

Representative sources: CRM, marketing spend and contract log
Ask a question about the project

The problem

The data exists. The picture doesn't.

Every development already produces more information than ownership can use. It lives in the CRM, the inventory sheet, the ad accounts, the project tracker, the consultant emails and the weekly call. Each one is accurate on its own terms. None of them agree.

So the simplest questions take days to answer, and the answer depends on who you ask.

The questionWhere the answer lives todayWhen ownership sees it
How many firm contracts did we write this month?CRM export, sales tracker, broker emailsTwo versions, reconciled on Friday
Which campaigns are producing buyers, not just leads?Ad platforms, CRM lead source, agent notesRarely answered
Where is pricing resistance showing up in the stack?Inventory sheet, offer log, agent feedbackAt the next ownership meeting
What's holding up the next approval, and who owns it?Project tracker, consultant emails, meeting minutesDepends who you ask

The platform

It sits above what you already run.

The Development Desk works alongside your CRM, project tools, sales team and agencies. It connects approved information and adds an owner-side view of how the development and its marketing are performing.

Your teams keep working the way they do today. Ownership stops waiting for someone to assemble the picture.

How we help

Intelligence from feasibility through sellout.

Three connected needs: market decisions before launch, owner-side marketing intelligence through sales, and a connected operating view of the project.

Feasibility and market intelligence

Custom research and reporting on competitive supply, pricing, demand, absorption signals and project positioning to inform decisions before launch.

Ground early assumptions in what is happening in the market now.

Fractional marketing intelligence

An owner-side marketing function connecting ownership, sales, agencies and project data across strategy, budgets, calendars and performance.

Measure marketing against qualified buyers, appointments and contracts, then direct effort toward what is working.

Ownership command center

A concise, current view of sales, inventory, marketing, operations and the priorities that need a decision this week.

Built for the person accountable for the whole project, not for any one department.

Sales and inventory intelligence

Current visibility from first inquiry to firm contract: ratings, appointments, outreach, offers, soft and firm contracts, available inventory, pricing and conversion, based on agreed data refreshes.

See where the stack is moving, where it's stalled, and why.

Marketing-to-sales attribution

A clear line from campaigns and lead sources to engagement, appointments and contracts.

Spend gets measured against buyers, not impressions.

Project delivery visibility

Active workstreams, approvals, deadlines, dependencies and responsible parties in one view, with the items that need attention surfaced first.

Accountability that doesn't depend on who was in the meeting.

Project intelligence

A secure interface where authorized stakeholders ask questions in plain language and get answers grounded in approved project data.

Answers show their source and reflect the approved data available to the project.

Also available

  • Competitive intelligence
  • Media analytics
  • Budget oversight
  • Agent performance
  • Automated executive summaries
  • Stakeholder-safe reporting

How it works

Start with one development. Scale to a portfolio.

  1. Connect approved systems

    With your authorization, we connect the CRM, inventory, marketing, project and financial sources your team already relies on.

  2. Reconcile definitions

    We agree what a lead, an appointment, a soft contract and a sale mean for this project, so every number is counted one way.

  3. Configure the environment

    Views, reports and summaries are built around the project's structure, reporting rhythm and priorities.

  4. Control access

    Each stakeholder sees what their role requires. Ownership, lenders, sales and consultants get appropriate views of the same truth.

  5. Set the reporting cadence

    Agree refresh timing, reporting rhythm and escalation rules so each stakeholder knows when to expect current information and what needs attention.

Who it's for

Built for the people accountable for the whole project.

If you're responsible for the complete health of a development but receive it in pieces, the Desk was built for you.

Developers and principals

One view of the project between ownership meetings, not just at them.

Ownership groups and capital partners

Commercial visibility you can trust, presented at the level you need.

Project executives

Delivery, approvals and dependencies across one development or several.

Sales and marketing leadership

Proof of what's working, and early warning on what isn't.

Brokerages and advisory firms

Consistent intelligence across the developments you represent.

Security and data stewardship

Your data stays yours.

The Desk works only with information you authorize, only for the project you authorize it for.

  • Client ownership of dataProject data belongs to the developer. We access it with your permission and never claim it.
  • Project-specific authorizationEach project and data source is explicitly approved, with access scoped to the intended stakeholders.
  • Role-based accessDefined user roles determine who sees what, down to the view.
  • Server-side credentialsSystem credentials are held securely on the server and never exposed to users or browsers.
  • Stakeholder-appropriate viewsLenders, partners and consultants see what's relevant to them, and nothing more.

Proof of concept

See how project questions become decisions.

The Desk was first built around a luxury residential development, bringing CRM, sales, inventory, marketing, project and market information into one view for ownership and the sales team.

The example uses a fictional project and representative data; it does not show a live client environment. For each engagement, data sources, permissions and refresh cadence are agreed with the client.
