Apply to Shop

In business since 1986, we are one of the most highly-respected, top-paying, video mystery shopping companies in the country. We work with new home builders across the country and we’re always looking for new shoppers.

What is New Home Mystery Shopping?

To evaluate the performance of sales associates, shoppers pose as potential new homebuyers, visit a homebuilder’s model center while covertly video recording the sales associate. In states with a two-party consent requirement for audio/video recording, MB&C requires signed releases from all sales associates to be shopped.

Mystery Shopper Scams

Unfortunately, the mystery shopping industry has frequently been the target of scammers. Scammers, posing as legitimate mystery shopping companies, will often send text messages or emails with a shop assignment and request the shopper provide personal information to accept the job.

Melinda Brody & Company requires all shoppers to register through our website before they are eligible for any shop assignments. Additionally, all shop details will only be provided through your shopper account.

*Melinda Brody & Company will never ask you to purchase gift cards or mail you a check prior to a shop.
