Buyers
A buyer is the owner of a particular project unit, and are how purchase analytics are computed.
You can share documents with buyers (and visa versa), invoice buyers, manage payments (eg. EMD deposits), etc..
Optionally, when a buyer has an account with Edgewise, the buyer can log into Edgewise to view the estimated delivery date of their unit, images, upload documents, and make payments.
Adding Buyers
After a buyer goes into contract, you can click "Convert to Buyer" on their lead profile to unlock features related to fulfillment of the unit.

Note: Do not convert until they have an executed purchase contract for the unit as this is irreversible.
Converting a lead to a buyer
A lead should only be converted to a buyer once all parties have signed an agreement of sale. This will allow for accurate reporting and feature enablement in Edgewise.
Here are several common scenarios below:
- All parties sign the sales agreement contract, then the lead should be converted to a buyer (even if there’s a rescission period).
- If there’s a rescission period, the buyer status should be “In Review”.
- If the buyer backs out (for any reason, including right to rescission), then the buyer should be marked as cancelled (with a reason).
Basic buyer information will be included if the buyer was converted from a lead. This information is also used to populate a contract if you have integrated with DocuSign.
To edit the buyer's information:
- Click "Edit Buyer" near the top of the profile. If this buyer was previously a lead, they will have inherited the lead's basic information. You can edit the following here:
