How we work

No surprises. Start to finish.

What is it like to work with Next Level Communities?

Every engagement starts with a strategy session and a fixed-price proposal, so scope and cost are settled before work begins. The build runs through the same seven phases on every tier, with approvals and progress in one client portal. At launch your team is trained and you own the site, the content and every lead.

Before you sign

Scope and price, settled up front.

No retainer to find out what it costs. The strategy session is a working call on your property, and the proposal that follows is fixed.

  1. 01

    Strategy session

    We learn the community, the market and the goal, and look at your current site and search position together.

  2. 02

    Discovery

    For larger scopes, a short discovery confirms integrations, content and timeline before anything is priced.

  3. 03

    Fixed-price proposal

    One proposal with scope, timeline and a fixed price for project work, and a fixed monthly fee for ongoing services.

  4. 04

    Kickoff

    Once approved, your team, timeline and first milestones go live and work begins.

During the build

Clear roles. Steady progress.

The work runs through the seven Growth Engine phases, from discovery to launch, in the same order on every tier. How long it takes depends on the tier.

Staying in the loop

Everything in one place.

Every engagement comes with the client portal: progress, approvals, messages and reports for each community, behind one login.

Tour the client portal

Always know where things stand

Project stages, what is in progress and what needs you, on one screen. No status emails, no wondering what happened this week.

Decisions in minutes, not threads

Approve a design with pinned comments, sign a proposal and answer the team’s questions in one place, so work never waits on an inbox.

Your brand, ready to use

Logos, colors and fonts for every community in a brand kit your team and vendors can download any time.

Results you can show ownership

Website health, traffic, search checks and monthly reports for each community, available whenever someone asks.

After launch

Launch is where the leasing starts.

  1. Training and handoff

    Your team learns to update content, floor plans and specials, so routine changes never wait on us.

  2. You own it

    The website, the code, the content and every lead it produces belong to you. If you change management companies, the site stays with the asset.

  3. Care and support

    A website care plan covers hosting, security, updates, backups and monitoring from the team that built the site.

  4. Measure and improve

    On Dominate, advertising, SEO and lead nurturing run every month, with monthly strategy sessions and reporting in occupancy and leases.
