OSC-to-OSM Handoff Playbook | Jome

The buyer was warm. The OSC ran a great qualification call — budget aligned, timeline real, two communities narrowed down, financing pre-approved. She booked the tour for 11 AM Saturday at the Cedar Park sales center. Saturday morning, the buyer walks in. The OSM greets her, walks her through the
