One Predictable Path From Spec to Sold.
List on MLS with renderings the day the slab is poured. Forty days before completion, we pull the MLS listing and place the home on Zillow Preview℠ via Novo Launch for a 30-day performance window. If it goes under contract, you pay only for the days we save you. If it doesn’t sell, the home returns to MLS at completion with professional photography, a 3D walkthrough, and Zillow Showcase℠ placement.

When: 40 days before completion → 10 days before completion · 30-day Zillow Preview℠ window
Buyer contracts during the 30-day Launch window (any source — we charge for the acceleration on top of the MLS Service fee). Example: home sells on day 20 of the window, saving 10 days. 10 days × $100 = $1,000 Novo Launch fee.

When: Completion onward · MLS relist with pro photos + 3D + Zillow Showcase℠
