Open Question: how much do the typical upgrades cost when you are building a new track with a developer?

I'm friendly with some people who want houses built and a lot of real estate agents who sell vacant lots and houses that are gorgeous but are torn down and rebuilt. I'm friendly with a few builders.

I want to set up the home buyer directly, or through the real estate agent, with the builder and and I would like some consideration for it. I don't know if it's a percentage or how it works. I don't know a lot (anything) about construction but I learn quickly and one of the builders invited me to his sites and offered to show the ropes. Eventually when I'm more knowledgeable I'd like to hold the home buyers' hand from concept to fruition.

What's the title of the guy that brings the builder and the home buyer together? What's his cut? And how does that compare to a construction manager? What books can I read and what steps do I take? If I start a business what does my business model look like?
