Hey fellow agents,

I’m curious to hear your thoughts on the IDX websites provided by your brokerage versus those you've set up independently with IDX integration.

Some questions to get the conversation going:

• How satisfied are you with the performance and functionality of your brokerage’s IDX website?
• Have you invested in your own IDX-integrated site? If so, how does it compare in terms of leads, customization, and overall ROI?
• Are there specific platforms or providers you’ve found that deliver better results for your personal site?
• Any tips on optimizing IDX websites to increase leads or client engagement?

Feel free to share your experiences—both the good and the bad.

Looking forward to the discussion! 😊

Hey,

I'm looking for a database of all registered real estate agents in the USA with their contact information. I saw this website realestateagentdata.com was doing a sale, but I'm not sure if they're legit.

I'm willing to spend a decent amount for this database, but hopefully nothing more than $300

I have access to the MLS if that can help. We can scrape as well. Thanks.

I’m looking into kvCORE as a CRM and marketing platform for my real estate business, and I’d love to hear from those of you who’ve used it. I know it’s packed with features like lead generation, automated follow-ups, and website customization, but I’m curious about how it actually performs in the real world.

Is it worth the cost? Especially compared to other CRMs or marketing tools you’ve tried.

How has it impacted your lead conversions and overall business?

Has anyone used Lever by Movoto? What are your experiences and would you recommend it? I am having a hard time finding real reviews on it.

I manage properties for several owners, and it’s important they have easy access to financial reports and property performance stats. I need software where owners can log in and view these details themselves rather than me sending them manually. Has anyone found software with a good owner portal?

If yes, then which? is it helpful? do you have property management software integrated with it? and people who are not using, why? any specific reason or past experience

I have a list of addresses - Im hoping to get the listing status of them (Active, Expired, etc.)

How can I do this?

Hey everyone! My partner and I flip land on the East coast and built a transaction management tool for investors & agents.

Skyslope and the other big guys are expensive at scale so we just built our own.

We’ve been able to cut down on emails and offer our buyers/sellers/vendors a more white glove experience with a white labeled portal.

Let me know if you wanna check it out!

Hello, I'm wondering if anyone's used a professional web designer to setup and design their KV Core website, and how the results were? Thanks

Hey everyone! I've been working on an idea for a tool that generates detailed real estate market insights for any location in seconds.
Here’s the concept:

• Input a location (zip code, city, neighborhood).
• Get a summary of key market trends like median home prices, rental rates, inventory levels, and demand metrics.
• Suggestions for hot opportunities in that area (e.g., best neighborhoods to buy/rent).

The goal is to save hours of research and help agents and investors make smarter, faster decisions.

If this sounds useful, what specific insights would you find most valuable? I’d love to tailor this tool to real-world needs! Drop your thoughts below 👇

Hey all, I'm an architect in Los Angeles and I'm building A-du.homes, the vertically integrated, one-stop-shop for accessory dwelling units (ADUs) in Los Angeles county. While around 30-50% of Los Angeles county's 190,000 ADUs have been, and will be, built to rent, there is no single platform at the intersection of ADU development, rental listings, and single-family property management like A-du. The goal is to provide a web-based, peer-to-peer platform that supports homeowners who'd like to build, rent, and/or manage their ADU rentals in one place.

Here's a breakdown of each of A-du's services:

1. A-du Build: A peer-to-peer marketplace of fully designed detached ADU plans, to include a collection of standard plans approved by city building departments across LA county. Ultimately, A-du Build provides homeowners with a simplified process of picking their design, choosing a financing option, and picking their contractor.

2. A-du Rent: A peer-to-peer ADU rental marketplace where ADU homeowners list their units (either the ADU or the front house) and prospective tenants select their desired neighborhood, duration of stay, spatial requirements, and add filters to find the unit that meets their needs - think AirBnB for ADU rentals.

Rental units listed on the Rent marketplace, are automatically enrolled in 3. A-du Manage: A single-family property management portal with integrated landlord/tenant messaging, work order request triage (perhaps also preferred trade partners), maintenance history, expense tracking, and unit-specific document storage.

The project is still pre-seed, and right now I'm offering $5 gift cards in exchange for feedback from users before I have a relatively inexpensive MVP professionally built. I have three different surveys for my three target user groups: homeowners interested in building an ADU, homeowners with a single-family rental, and prospective tenants who are willing to partner with and promote A-du.

Since I live in Los Angeles, my initial focus is growing in Los Angeles county (with 190,000 ADUs). However, the company stands to scale alongside the ADU industry throughout the country, which is projected to double to $30b by 2032.

As a group of real estate professionals, I'd love to hear your feedback and answer any questions you may have.

Hi,

I’m reaching out to connect with other professionals in the residential leasing and rental sector to discuss an issue that’s been on my radar: Utility Concessions issued to residents for multiple reasons. (example: utility bill was too high, water leaks, running toilets, etc)

I’m curious to learn about your experiences:

How significant is this issue in this industry?
Which utility categories tend to be the most problematic?
How are the concessions currently being tracked?
How are the concession amounts being determined?

Is there a need for a tool/portal to manage these?

Your insights would be incredibly valuable as I try to learn about the scale of this problem in the industry.

Looking forward to all the responses!

Hi guys so I recently made a post in the realtors subreddit and had some interesting feedback about referrals and leads. Basically I learned most realtors would pay 20-25% for referrals from other agents. However as some building a lead generation solution I wondering how I can sell the contact of an individual I may have come in contact with who is willing to sell but is currently off-market.

I used some decent data analytics and AI to locate my leads and comb through financial records to find potential sellers. However I am based outside of the US I then contact potential leads to ascertain the desire to sell. So how do I sell such a lead to a realtor fairly as an international data analyst

Hey everyone!

I’m hoping to get some advice on managing leads in real estate—it’s a bit of a long one, but I think this could be helpful for a lot of us, and I’d really appreciate any insights!

Managing Leads Efficiently I’m using DealMachine to generate leads (if anyone has other tool recommendations, I’m all ears!), and I export about 10,000 leads a month, broken down by categories like high equity and so on. After that, I send them over to my CRM for texting and outreach.

Here’s where I’m struggling a bit: 1. Handling Lists Without Duplicates: Every time I export, it’s a new folder on my computer. I’m trying to avoid duplicates and make sure I don’t accidentally export the same leads over and over. Plus, keeping track of thousands of leads is tough—it’s like managing a bunch of files for different dates, areas, and lead types. How do you all keep track of this stuff without going nuts?

Dialer Advice I don’t currently have a dialer but am looking for recommendations on that front. Here’s what I’d love help with: 2. Tracking Calls & Follow-Ups: Let’s say I export a list of 5,000 leads to a dialer. Some leads respond and get pushed to Podio (my CRM), but the others don’t answer. Do you keep calling those non-responders, or move on to the next list? And how do you keep track of which ones you’ve already called or still need to reach out to?

I’d love any tips you all have on staying organized, managing duplicates, or finding a good dialer. Thanks so much for any advice—it would really help!

Help. What is this? It familiar, can’t put my finger on it.

What do you guys do in order to get correct comps on properties your about to take as a rental/ wholesale? Is there a service to gain MLS Access anywhere? Thank you!

I want to build a webiste for property listings, that allows registered agents or brokers to list their properties, and allow users (buyer) to search for properties and connect to them.
Which platforms do you recommend?
I prefer that I own the website such that I'm not at risk of losing it if I end my contract with the website building plaatform.

I have been looking at Placester, Agent Image, InBoundREM, and many others. But could not determine yet which platform suits my model. I dont mind to start small as long as I will be able to scale the website bigger in the future without losing work or data.

This site has miraculously became unreachable since late October 2024. I signed up for a 1 year subscription ($179) and used the site about 2 months before it went offline. Now I am trying to contact support for a refund but no means to reach anyone. Their email no longer works, their phone is unavailable, no access to anyone at the company. Are there any other agents who signed with them and experiencing similar problems? I’d love to hear from you.

I am looking to develop real estate software/tools to assist in making real estate professional's lives easier. I came up with a couple of ideas and would like to hear from you all. Of the options, which would you find most useful and/or pay for in order to make your job easier?

​

• Property Analysis Assistant
  • A tool where users input an address and provides an in-depth analysis of the property.
• AI Deal Analyzer
  • A platform where users input property data (purchase price, renovation cost, expected rental income), and calculates key metrics like cash flow, ROI, and cap rate.
• Lead Qualification Bot
  • A chatbot that real estate agents can add to their websites to qualify leads automatically with a built in CRM
• Local Market Insights Generator
  • Users input a location, and generates a report on the local real estate market.

Hi there, I run a call center and I'm looking for a data provider who can do 1.5 cents or less per skip traced record. Please PM me if you're interested in a partnership.

PropTech guy here. I see a lot of people on this sub struggle to get investors. So I wanted to pitch in with an admittedly controversial but effective solution: Tokenization. Yeah I know, another crypto bro talking about blockchain - but hear me out.

A little background: I work with property owners who struggle to raise capital. Had this client with a $5M commercial property who was totally stuck. You know how it goes - exhausted their local network, dealing with endless paperwork, and struggling to find investors willing to put in $250K+. Typical story, right?

We tried digitalizing their property (basically turning it into regulated digital shares). Tbh we weren't sure if it would work but the results surprised us:

• Investor reach went from local to global
• Could lower minimum investment to $25K
• Fundraising time cut by more than half
• All the investor management became automated
• Investors could actually sell their shares if needed (try doing that with traditional real estate investments lol)

I know this sounds too good to be true, but here's the important part - this only works if you follow the regulations. In Dubai, you need VARA approval. In Singapore, it's MAS. These regulators are actually pretty open to this stuff now, which is wild considering where we were a few years ago.

tl;dr: Turned property into digital shares, got 3x more investors, faster fundraising, smaller minimum investments. Legal if you follow the rules.

EDIT: Getting lots of DMs. Instead of answering the same questions repeatedly - you can check out more details on my LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/farrukh-r-zaidi/ or just schedule a quick chat here https://www.cal.com/oblivion/discuss. Not trying to sell anything, just easier to answer questions this way.

Hey all, would you find it helpful to get curated updates about properties that fit your investment criteria? Think price drops, distressed properties, or new listings—all delivered straight to you, so you don’t have to spend hours searching. Would this save you time or add value to your process?

Looking for feedback and suggestions

If you are thinking about switching, don’t. They are an abomination. They bought and then threw away all of the great interface and functionality of BoomTown, and decided to run it on servers from the early 90’s. It’s insanely clunky and they “update” it randomly to make it better.

Except when they made there most recent update, and decided to delete the section where you create your newsletter entirely from the website and give you no way of recovering said newsletter that you have branded and been using for 18 months.

Thanks KvCore. Oh and the “help” is condescending as hell. I had an issue not being able to load an image into the body of an email (you read that right, in 2024, I would have to preformat and build an email to include a picture) the help said “are you in our website or your own email app” 🫠🫠😑😑😑😑😑😑🫠🫠

Hello! I currently don’t have realtime access to MLS data. All listing data I currently get is from Redfin. I’m trying to gain just some minor realtime info on a very small target market that I can use for direct mailers. Looking to see if someone can help set this up to auto go to an email of mine. Willing to pay for the service. Im just looking for realtime sold data. Nothing I cannot get offline but it’s too parceled out that I cannot automate.

Hi! I am an agent with eXp. I recently received an email from eXp with an offer to join Realty.com Pro. They seem to offer a Realty.com Pro membership, as well as a "Lead Frenzy" program and a "Seller Pro" program. I can't find any info/reviews on any of these products. Have you tried this stuff? What do you think?

I'm curious how many agents make their own listings compared to having an admin assistant that builds all of them. Would you use a service where you could type in the address, add pictures, snap your fingers and have the listing built?

It seems like for the US there are countless parcel data APIs out there. (corelogic, precisely, zillow, etc.)

I haven't been able to find anything like this that covers Canada. Looking to be able to query an address an return the year of construction, square footage, building footprint, ideally heating system/source, etc.

Any ideas?
