Managing House & Land Packages (HLP) streamlines listing creation for New Home Consultants. This process resembles creating a quote:
- Enter site details, including block size.
- Select a base design from the Plan Bank with features and floor plans.
- Utilize a base house plan to compose a quote, and incorporate any changes.
- Directly publish the quote to the G.J. website and third-party sites for potential buyers.
The HLP process prioritizes simplicity for NHCs.
