The 5 Must-Know Features Enhancing Home Buyer Journeys

We are thrilled to announce that NEXT just released a fresh update and it’s now live for use! This update introduces enhanced interactive tools that provide greater functionality and deliver an intuitive, streamlined experience for prospective buyers. Let’s delve into our team’s top five favorite new features and how they can elevate your sales process:

  1. Linking Interior Stills within Floorplans

A favorite feature of our sales team, this new functionality allows interior rendering stills to be directly linked to specific rooms or options within a floorplan. Accessible through the “Interiors” tab in the Layers label, this feature has the capacity to integrate visuals such as Virtual Model Home animation stills, renderings, or completed model photographs for projects further along in the build cycle. Now, buyers can also interact with furniture placement in the 2D linework or immerse themselves in the feel of the home’s layout, creating an engaging experience all on one page.

  1. Real-Time Lot Status Updates

NEXT gives our partners full control over their sitemaps through the Admin Portal page, enabling sales agents to update lot statuses in real-time without needing external support from our programming team. Builder representatives can hide sold lots, highlight available ones, or showcase the purchasing process, keeping buyers informed with the most accurate data or foster urgency to drive engagement and sales.

  1. Custom URL Links in Sitemaps

Builders can now create custom URL links withing sitemaps, enhancing the buyer journey by linking to self-guided virtual tours, animations, or scheduling tools for the specific lot and plan selected.

  1. Enhanced Lot Information Pop-Ups

For sitemaps with lots not featuring exterior elevations, NEXT now solves the issue by displaying the assigned floorplan, creating a more polished and efficient tool for both our builder partners and buyers.

  1. Customizable Buttons in Lot Information Pop-Ups

Finally, NEXT now introduces customizable buttons within lot pop-ups, allowing partners to link to key resources such as their website, contact page, or community site. This upgrade empowers builders to create a custom tailored, user-friendly experience that enhances engagement and efficiency.

Empowering Builders, Elevating Experiences

Next also now offers an exceptional customer experience for buyers and empowering builders to customize our offered tools to meet their specific needs. Beyond these standout features, additional updates like Google Analytics 4 integration and advanced data collection work behind the scenes go further to enhance efficiency and usability.
