Sell the land. Earn the referral.
You’ve got the lot. Your buyer can’t picture the build. CABN is the build-ready platform that lets you close the land deal, show a turnkey home path, and earn an industry-standard referral commission for connecting the buyer to us.
Refer a buyer →Why realtors partner with CABN
Close the land deal, add a build path, earn a referral
No custom build to coordinate, no builder-search to manage — CABN runs the entire delivery so you can stay focused on listings and buyers.
3% referral commission
Earn a 3% referral fee on the CABN build when your buyer signs. Paid on completion; terms documented at referral.
Turnkey buyer path
CABN handles design, quote, and project coordination. The buyer gets one contract, one timeline, one point of accountability.
Faster to occupancy
Factory-built panels shorten construction windows — important when selling a lot to a buyer who wants to be in.

CABN vs. the alternatives
Where the CABN referral earns its place
A quick side-by-side against the two other paths your buyer usually considers after they buy the land.
| CABN referral | Traditional new-build | Custom home builder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Referral commission | 3% on the CABN build value | Depends on the builder | Varies; often ad-hoc |
| Project coordination | CABN handles end-to-end | Buyer coordinates trades | Buyer + builder co-manage |
| Buyer contract complexity | One contract with CABN | Multiple contracts | Bespoke contract |
| Timeline predictability | Factory-timed install window | Site-dependent; sequencing risk | Highly variable |
| Where CABN fits | Single-family to mid-rise | All typologies | Truly one-off designs |

Where CABN fits your book
Three ways realtors bring us in
Beyond the classic land + build referral, CABN slots into a few patterns realtors are already running.
Land-only listings
Show buyers a build-ready platform for the lot you’re selling — catalogue models, quote turnaround, timeline.
Existing home + CABN co-listing
Position CABN as the upsize / downsize path when the seller is also the future buyer of the new build.
Subdivision partnerships
Bring CABN to your subdivision developer for a phased-build cohort. Multiple homes, one platform, one point of contact.
CABN product lines your buyer will see

Live series

Innovation
Research-forward homes and multi-unit deployments — a fit for buyers looking to pilot new envelope or sensor systems.
Multi-unit & mid-rise
Multi-family and mid-rise up to 17 storeys under current Canadian code. Same CLT + envelope backbone at scale.

Frequently asked
The questions realtors ask first
The questions we hear most often from realtors scoping their first CABN referral.
When do I get paid?
On completion of the CABN build. Referral terms are confirmed in writing at referral, before the buyer signs.
Does the buyer pay more?
No — the referral commission is paid from CABN’s build margin, not added to the buyer’s quote.
Can I keep the land listing?
Yes — you remain the listing agent for the land. CABN is a build-side referral only.
How long does a CABN build take?
Timelines vary by product line and region; we provide a projected range at quote that you can share with the buyer.
What do I send to the buyer?
CABN’s client guide and a one-page summary of the recommended model for their lot context. We provide both once you refer.
