ᐅ Looking for a prefabricated house provider that also offers land brokerage...

Good evening everyone,
I have some possibly "basic" and probably very general questions, as I’m a bit confused after several phone calls with different prefab home providers.
Some providers told me that you first have to sign a kind of preliminary contract, based on which plots are then offered from a pool. For your information: We do not currently own a plot yet.
Now, my questions about this:
Do multiple providers access a shared "plot pool"?
Are these plots not otherwise available for public sale?
Is the procedure with these "preliminary contracts" for land search common practice?
Should I sign such contracts with several providers to increase my chances of finding a suitable plot, or should I expect costs for a service related to land search?
Is there a usual procedure that is followed in this situation? How did you approach it?
I would really appreciate your answers.
Best regards

The preliminary contract is likely aimed at selling a house subject to land and financing approval. If you then don’t buy a house from them, even though they offered you some poor-quality plots and overpriced financing, you will probably have to pay a contractual penalty. So definitely do not sign anything with multiple providers; you only want to build one house, not several.
montessalet14 May 2019 13:33This is simply deceptive... I would NEVER sign something like that. NEVER!
You only have to look at real estate platforms like ImmoScout – some "offers" have been listed for years (!!!) even though there is NO available land in that area. This should actually be prohibited. Just don’t be fooled – there are plenty of providers who don’t need to resort to this.
The others are aggressive sales teams...

The difference is that he even accepts a poor location. Exactly: the "equivalent replacement plots" share at most the total area and the floor area ratio, often only the total area.

Some "offers" have been listed for years (!!!) – even though NO plots are available in that area. The process goes roughly like this: the sales partner learns about a plot; from the catalog, a model is selected that could be built there (based solely on size and roof shape, nothing else is checked). The plot is not reserved bindingly; the owner may have sold it in the meantime. An interested party is then offered a "comparable" plot within about 20 km (12 miles) radius, if the provider has found such a plot that has not also been sold yet. Meanwhile, the example house is listed for sale on real estate platforms as if it could actually be built exactly like that – unlike the developer, however, the provider does not actually have control over the plot. Before re-listing such offers on the platforms, it often appears not to be checked whether the original plot underlying the example (or a similar one) is specifically available. This scheme would indeed be a prime example for Ede Zimmermann’s show "Nepper - Schlepper - Bauernfänger" (Swindlers - Hucksters - Conmen). Such an offer deceives the interested party into thinking they have reached their search goal: the exact location is only revealed upon inquiry, but a specific place name is given. This is therefore a misrepresentation – except that it is not guaranteed that the plot is already gone, so there is a minimal remaining chance. If you are not a jackpot gambler, you should ignore such offers.
