Real estate services in a construction marketplace revolve around the deal side of building: sourcing land and projects, disposing of finished product, and operating what gets built. Residential developers and multi-family developers originate projects and frequently hire general contractors, or partner with builders on joint ventures and fee-build arrangements. Brokers and agents with a development focus help builders find infill lots, teardowns, and entitled land, and later handle the sale or lease-up of completed units; their value to a builder is less about listing exposure and more about reading zoning, lot dimensions, and resale comps for a specific product type. Wholesale real estate companies assign off-market contracts, which some builders use as an acquisition pipeline for flips and spec projects. Property management firms take over once a rental project is complete, handling leasing, maintenance coordination, and owner reporting, and they are often consulted earlier for input on unit mix and finish durability. Short term rental agents manage furnished units, a model some owners apply to ADUs and small multi-family buildings where local ordinances allow it. Moving companies round out the group for tenant turnover, model-home setup, and office relocations. Builders typically engage acquisition-side services before a project exists, and disposition or management services in the last third of construction so marketing and lease-up start before the certificate of occupancy. Before contracting, it helps to review a broker's or manager's track record with your specific product type and submarket, their fee structure, and contract termination terms. In California, real estate brokers and salespersons are licensed through the Department of Real Estate, and Texas has an equivalent public lookup through TREC; we recommend confirming that any broker, agent, or property manager you engage holds a current license and appropriate insurance before signing a listing or management agreement.
For acquisitions, before making offers, since a broker who knows the submarket can flag zoning, lot, and resale issues that change what a site is worth to you. For dispositions, most builders engage the listing side in the last third of construction so marketing photos, pricing, and pre-sales are ready before completion.
Most off-market pipelines combine relationships with development-focused brokers who scout sites, direct outreach to owners of underutilized parcels, and assignment deals from wholesalers. A broker who knows the submarket adds value beyond sourcing by reading zoning, lot dimensions, and buildable comps, so ask any agent for recent transactions involving new construction or land in your target area.
Well before completion: lease-up planning is typically underway months ahead of the certificate of occupancy, and pre-leasing campaigns, pricing, and marketing materials need the management team in place to run them. Many developers also consult the intended manager during design, since managers have practical input on unit mix, finish durability, and metering that affects operating costs.

Wholesalers put off-market properties under contract and assign those contracts for a fee, which can surface teardown and infill opportunities that never hit the MLS. Builders using this channel generally verify title, occupancy, and assignment terms carefully, since deals are typically sold as-is with short inspection windows.
Review the management fee and what it includes, leasing and renewal fees, markups on maintenance, reserve requirements, reporting frequency, and termination terms. We also recommend confirming the firm's license status and asking for references from owners of comparable buildings in the same submarket.
