Are you ready to build more than just homes? Are you ready to build a community that stands for something greater? The 1776® Community is leading a movement to advance American patriotism, one neighborhood at a time. By becoming a 1776® Licensee, you'll not only increase leads, sales, and revenue but also contribute to a worthy cause.

Unleash Your Potential with The 1776® Community

The 1776® Community isn't just another brand in the crowded real estate market; it's a mission-driven initiative aimed at promoting American Patriotism at the grassroots level. Our goal is to champion the American Dream of homeownership across all 50 states, and we're inviting visionary builders like you to be part of this transformative journey.

Lower Real Estate Agent Expenses

Ditch the 6% commission spend on transactions! With The 1776® Community, you can significantly reduce real estate agent expenses.

The typical commission spend for a builder without in-house sales and marketing personnel is 6% on all transactions. For a 40-unit community of homes averaging $600,000, commissions total $1,440,000.

However, The 1776® Community's exposure generates more direct buyer leads outside the MLS monopoly, reducing Realtor® participation. We estimate:

• 50% Realtor® participation rate: $720,000 savings on commissions
• 70% Realtor® participation rate: $432,000 savings on commissions

By joining The 1776® Community, you'll:

• Save up to 75% on real estate agent expenses
• Increase profit margins with our innovative business model
• Benefit from our national brand recognition and marketing efforts

Premium Pricing Power: A Case Study

Jim and Trish Elliott had initially bought a home at The Courtyards at New Hope, a sister community of 1776® Gastonia that’s 1.5 miles away and features the same floorplans, but canceled their contract and forfeited their deposit for personal reasons. Eighteen months later, they purchased a new home at 1776® Gastonia for over $70,000 more than the home they had previously planned on buying.

Why? The 1776® brand resonated with the buyers, demonstrating:

• The premium pricing power of The 1776® brand
• Strong brand loyalty among patriotic homebuyers
• The emotional connection customers form with our patriotic values

The 1776® Spike

The announcement of 1776® Gastonia's location triggered a surge of interest that far exceeded industry norms:

• Website traffic skyrocketed by 267%:
• 22,031 visits compared to the average monthly traffic of 6,000
• Website registrations increased by an astounding 551%:
• 651 registrations vs. the typical monthly average of 100

These numbers clearly illustrate the drawing power of The 1776® brand and its ability to capture the attention of potential homebuyers.

Outstanding Ad Campaign Performance

Our targeted advertising campaign for 1776® Gastonia yielded remarkable results:

• 400 website registrations in just four weeks, with users providing their name, phone, and email.
• A typical non-branded community during the same period yielded 10 leads, an otherwise typical 30-day performance.
• Target audience: Patriotic individuals aged 55-74, with household incomes of $100,000+, within a 300-mile radius
