Here are 10 ways to become familiar with what RPR has to offer:
- Create Your Profile: Your profile is used to customize reports shared with your clients and ensure accessibility to all of the data available in RPR. Click on the “My Profile” link in the right-hand column or your name in the upper right corner of the home page to create a profile in RPR.
- Perform a Search: Search for property information geographically within a city, county, ZIP code or neighborhood using a variety of criteria to find a specific property, listing or neighborhood. You can also search by owner name, parcel number or Listing ID. RPR’s searches help you get to a subject property faster than any consumer tool.
- See Your Search Results: The List view can be sorted by price, size or other parameters. The Map view presents information in a more visual way.
- Use a Heat Map: Heat maps are designed to give you a market picture on a very granular level. In the Map view of the search results you can turn on three different heat map layers: median estimated value, price per square foot and price change over the last 12 months.
- Choose a Home and Explore: You can compare the details of a real estate listing to the property’s public records details. No other site allows a user to compare these details side by side. With RPR you can scroll through both listings and public information to see how listings facts have changed over time.
- Update a Property’s Estimated Value: Use your own knowledge to modify a property’s size, condition and other attributes— simply enter the current conditions and they will be recorded and saved for later use.
- View a Property’s Sales History and Changes in Ownership: RPR displays a complete sales history, plus historical ownership information.
- Review a Financing History Chart: An easily interpreted historical graphic layering years of transactions and financing activity, assessed values, defaults, and other relevant facts about a property— it’s unique in the industry.
- Build a Report for a Property: Share the details about a property with a client in a customized report branded with your contact information, photo and logo. Or share what’s happening in the local real estate market with sales analytics, a market forecast and interesting trends.
- Search Neighborhood Information: RPR collects and integrates neighborhood demographics, housing facts, economic trends and quality-of-life data. This bonus data goes far beyond typical real estate information to help you locate the right neighborhoods for your clients.
