Operator is Foundation’s central platform for builders. It organizes all your communities, properties, buyers, and team interactions in one place — helping you deliver a seamless buyer experience from contract to close and beyond.
This guide provides a high-level look at the key areas of Operator and how they work together.

How It All Connects
Operator’s tabs are interconnected — actions in one area reflect across others. For example:
When a new buyer is added to a property, their details automatically appear in the People Tab.
Updates posted under a property appear in both the Buyer Portal via notification and your internal Overview thread.
Closing a transaction updates the home’s status in Homes Tab and triggers post-close workflows.

Save time by keeping everything centralized
Improve communication with buyers and teams
