You need to know how to find available and off-market properties to succeed in real estate and real estate marketing. Prospect by Buildout makes it easy for you to conduct searches for properties that meet your unique criteria. The following blog post covers the most steps and information about the feature.
Features Your Learn About in Prospect
Prospect has robust features that make it easier to search for, find, and learn about properties that match your interests. When you learn how to use property search, you will come to rely on popular features such as:
- Searching for properties by address
- Using the draw function to learn about real estate in a specific area
- Learning who owns a property
- Filtering results by size, building type, and status (such as "for sale" and "likely to sell")
- Creating lists so you can contact property owners without any hassle
Prospect's property search feature lets you go beyond what's available from public records. The Prospect tutorial will show you exactly where to find that information.
How To Use Property Search on Prospect
Within the Prospect platform, you will find a search toolbar labeled "property search" at the top of your screen. If you know the address of the home you want to learn about, enter that information. Prospect's database will immediately give you all of the data you need to make an informed decision. Property search is also a great way to find commercial and apartment buildings likely to sell.
The screen includes a map of the area you want to search. You can quickly toggle between satellite mode and map mode. Satellite mode gives you a more realistic view of the area. Map mode simplifies buildings, roads, and other objects by representing them as geometric shapes.
Click on any building you see on the map to learn more about it.
Searching for Properties by Criteria
Sometimes you don't want to focus on a specific property. That's why the how-to tutorial includes instructions that tell you how to find properties that meet your unique criteria. For example, you can search for properties in the area that fall within a size range. This option makes it possible to create lists of properties that interest you.
You can also add custom criteria to help you identify specific types of properties.
Generate Lists to Contact Owners
Learning how to use property search also teaches you how to generate lists that make contacting property owners easier. Simply choose the properties you want to pursue and export them to an Excel file. You can also use Prospect to send mailers and postcards directly to owners. If you prefer to call or email owners, you have those options. These are effective ways to connect with leads and generate stronger ROIs without spending a lot of time gauging interest.
