The Buyer Orientation Problem: What’s Missing in New Home Delivery
The home orientation is more than just a walkthrough—it’s the first real experience buyers have with their new home. Done right, it can set expectations, reduce confusion, and prevent unnecessary service calls. Yet, in most cases, the process is underutilized, inconsistent, or rushed.
This leaves buyers with unanswered questions, assumptions, and misunderstandings—which often turn into avoidable service requests, disputes, or warranty claims.
Buyer Orientations Are an Untapped Opportunity
The home orientation is a builder’s opportunity in the buyer’s journey, yet it can be rushed, inconsistent, or ineffective. Instead of preparing homeowners, it often leaves them with unanswered questions and preventable frustrations.
🔹 Overloaded buyers – Too much information in too little time.
🔹 Inconsistent delivery – Site staff, not homeowner care professionals, lead most orientations.
🔹 No reference materials – Buyers have nowhere to revisit key details.
🔹 Post-possession confusion – Unanswered questions turn into unnecessary service calls.
A Better Way to Deliver Homes
A structured, digital orientation helps builders take control of the process before move-in, reducing callbacks, disputes, and homeowner confusion.

Digital Buyer Orientations Fill the Gap
A digital orientation provides a buyer with clear, structured, and accessible information before they step inside their new home. Instead of relying on a one-time walkthrough, builders can provide a repeatable, scalable process that eliminates confusion.
What a Digital Orientation Provides:
✔ Guides & Manuals – Home care instructions, warranty details, and maintenance tips.
✔ Interactive Modules – Engaging content explaining home systems and features.
✔ Pre-Delivery Documentation – PDI reports, certifications, and key specifications.
✔ 24/7 Access – Buyers can review materials anytime through the New Home Portal.
There Is a Better Way for Buyer Orientations
Instead of reacting to service calls, builders can take control of the orientation process before buyers move in. Digital orientations provide structured, on-demand education, so homeowners understand their new home before possession day—reducing callbacks, disputes, and frustration.
✔ Clear expectations before move-in.
✔ Consistent, professional delivery.
✔ Fewer service calls, happier homeowners.
The solution is here. It’s time to change how homes are delivered.
