Perhaps talk with the Developer's Sales Department and see if they'll allow you to financially vet all potential buyers, before they can make an appointment with a salesperson?

I'm not sure how you'd monitor the on-going financial condition of buyers. Maybe they could be be required to send you a copy of their tax returns, before they file with the IRS?
