Just For You: The RPR New User Series

We consider these features to be the “pillars” of what RPR has to offer.

These ten straightforward “how-to’s” cover everything from simple searches, to gathering data on current market trends, schools and neighborhoods, mapping, and our ever-popular RPR reports. Each article includes a breakdown of what you can expect from RPR and how to easily incorporate RPR tools and features into your everyday business operations.

Here’s an overview of what you’ll find in the RPR New User Series:
  1. Homepage: The user-centric RPR Homepage is built for efficient productivity, with a REALTOR’S® regular routine in mind. It offers “Shortcuts” to tools and features, and customizable “My Market” areas with quick access to property hot sheets.
  2. Property Search: As an RPR® user, you have the power to capture real estate data to the extent that no other search mechanism offers. “Search” is your launching point in RPR. Whether it’s by an exact address, listing ID, neighborhood name or ZIP code, RPR search is intuitive, flexible and powerful. In fact, no other real estate data sharing website offers side-by-side, listing vs. public record comparisons like RPR.
  3. Maps: The RPR map is a powerful way to visually search for properties. From aerial, road, and overhead views, to schools, parcels, estimated values, heat maps, overlays and more, we’ll show you how easy it is to draw or designate your map in ways that suit every type of interest or need.
  4. Property Details: RPR’s Property Details page offers a wealth of data not found on any other real estate platform. Here you will find side-by-side comparisons of MLS vs. public records information; sales, tax and mortgage histories; property photos, school and neighborhood profiles, interactive maps, and more.
  5. Property Pricing: RPR shares five tools that will help you find the RVM, refine the value of a property, use the platform’s flexible comp analysis tool, create a Sales Comparative Analysis and Valuation Workbook for harder-to-price properties, and run a real-time analysis for investment properties.
  6. Neighborhoods: Finding the right neighborhood for your buyer is easy thanks to the housing, market trends, demographic and economic data found within RPR. Here, we’ll run you through the basics on how to help your clients find a home near desired amenities and within commutable distances.
  7. Schools: Test scores, parent reviews, enrollment data and more help REALTORS® quickly drill down to schools best suited to client needs and expectations. Search for schools within 5 miles of a location; by city/state, school, or district name; and even by type of school (elementary, middle or high school), as well as up to 20 nearby listings.
  8. Market Activity Report: The Market Activity Report delivers a snapshot of all the changes in a local real estate market, including active, pending, sold, expired and distressed properties. It’s a quick and convenient report that will get your clients up to speed, and a surefire way to impress prospects.
  9. Reports: Easily create and share RPR’s colorful, client-friendly reports from your phone, tablet, laptop or desktop. Customize the elements of your report to suit client interests and brand each with your name, photo, logo and contact information.
