URL architecture — ✅ DECIDED (Seth, Aug 29)

Flat, suffixed building URLs: /continuum-south-beach-condos/ — not bare /continuum-south-beach/. Rationale: flat slugs share one root namespace and luxury brands repeat across markets, including inside our own portfolio (Mandarin Oriental in Brickell + West Palm Beach; Ritz-Carlton Residences in four South Florida markets; Oceana in Key Biscayne + Bal Harbour). The suffix also puts the actual search query in the slug ("continuum south beach condos"). Where a name still collides, market-qualify: /mandarin-oriental-residences-brickell-condos/. Nested neighborhoods (/miami/brickell/) and units under buildings (/continuum-south-beach-condos/unit-3204-for-sale/). Reserved root paths — validate every generated slug against this list before creation: search, agents, journal, sell, rankings, buy, rent, new-developments, buildings, neighborhoods, contact, about, privacy, terms, accessibility, dmca, sitemap.xml, wp-admin, wp-content, wp-json, feed.

Lead routing & rules

Every form → Pipedrive with source, building, neighborhood and price band. Assigned member agent gets routed leads with attribution; unattributed → HL desk. Self-identified agents are tagged and held out of the buyer pipeline. TCPA consent on every form. IDX displays carry listing-brokerage attribution and honor seller opt-outs.

Run-rate budget

MLS feeds + IDX software ~$150–350/mo · managed WP hosting ~$100–300/mo · broker dues (existing). Build labor: Viktor.
