The Window Builders Leave on the Table

The 14–21 days before MLS are the days that matter.

The most active shoppers — the ones who'll close in 30 days — fill their saved searches in the first two weeks of every month. By the time your spec home hits MLS, somebody else's inventory is already in their saved-home alerts.

Novo Preview puts your home there first.

What Preview does for your listings

Zillow + Trulia Visibility

Listed in search results, recommended-homes carousels, and saved-home alerts during the 14–21 day Preview window.

Leads to Your Sales Team

Inquiries during the Preview window route directly to your sales office — not a third-party agent.

Price Testing + Waiting Lists

Capture saved-home counts and inquiry volume to inform pricing on quick-move-ins. Launch with leads already in hand on MLS day.

MLS-Friendly by Design

Preview ends the day MLS goes live. No double-listing, no policy conflict, no MLS sanction risk.

Co-Marketing Support

Optional Reveal-the-launch package: countdown emails, MLS-day social kit, builder-branded landing page snippet for your community site.
