- [Seth] All right everybody,
this is the program that I use,
as you can see from the top of the screen here.
It's called AgentPro247.
Now, here's what you do, we'll just log in quick.
Okay now, the first step here is
to go to this button up here that says, Farm.
So I'm gonna click on that.
And for the purposes of this quick tutorial,
we're gonna go to the state of Florida.
We're gonna look in Orlando area,
which is Orange County.
And really, there's not a ton of stuff
you have to do in order to sort your list,
but I'll hit the crucial areas quickly.
For this particular subscription that I have,
there's three steps.
This first step, you can enter in
some filters in here if you want.
I personally don't,
so I just kinda skip this whole first step.
And the reason I do that is because
I do mailings on a county by county basis.
Which means, as long as it's in Orange County,
that's all I care about.
I don't really need any specific addresses,
or streets, or zip codes, or anything like that.
So, that's why I skip this particular step.
The next one allows you to pick the property types
that you're looking for within this county.
What I do is,
I'm just gonna do single family, residential homes,
which is what SFR stands for.
So we'll click that.
Use code, this is actually sort of a redundancy.
What it does is, it gives you even more
specific ways to search for properties.
I mean, really specific things.
So if you wanna do that too, you can but,
the purposes of what I'm doing,
single family, residential is a good enough explanation.
Broad enough and narrow enough for what I need.
Other oddball things you can do,
probably the most important one is owner occupancy,
and we're gonna do absentee owners only,
and then we'll say only the ones without a pool.
So that's really all you gotta do there,
and then step three.
The first thing up here,
it's pretty useful when it's available.
This isn't available in all 50 states,
just like for example, in Michigan,
you can't do it there,
but you can do it in places like California,
and Florida and what it does is,
you can actually filter out properties
that are or are not foreclosures,
or tax delinquent properties.
Which is actually pretty awesome.
So for example, if you said yes to the tax option,
that would pull up only the properties
that are currently delinquent on their property taxes.
And as you know,
the tax thing can be pretty helpful
because a lot of times,
delinquent tax properties happen to,
just for whatever reason,
for a number of reasons really,
the owners are usually a lot more motivated to sell.
Just for this example,
I'm gonna include that and then,
the rest of the stuff,
one that I'll do for this example is market value.
What this allows you to do is filter out,
so that you only have properties
that are within a certain market value.
And what I'm gonna choose is,
everything that's worth between
50,000 and 200,000 dollars.
So kinda your bread and butter,
single family homes.
And just so you know,
this market value item,
it's not perfect for obvious reasons.
I mean, you can't always know what every property is worth,
but what it does is,
it uses the county's assessed value
and from that,
it calculates what the county thinks
the market value is of each property.
So, that's how it's doing it.
And these other items here
are actually available to people
who are a silver or gold subscriber,
and they can actually be very useful.
For example, if you wanted properties,
only the ones that were bought 10 years ago or longer.
Or say if you wanted properties
that didn't have a mortgage on them.
Things like that.
That's the kinda thing you could also filter
if you had these more expensive subscriptions.
I personally don't have that
and it hasn't hurt me,
but if that's something you're looking for,
by all means, feel free.
Really, that's all you gotta do.
The next step is go hit this count only button
and what it's gonna do is
count the total number of properties
that fit into your search criteria.
And in this case, we've got 333 properties.
And typically, my mailings are anywhere from
300 to 1000 per mailing,
so this number definitely fits within
a good criteria for me.
I mean, just to give you an example.
Say we took off this tax delinquent thing
and just said everybody.
You know, taxes don't matter
and we hit count only again.
Now we've got 5,000
that fit into your thing.
Which is way more than I need.
Just so you got an idea.
The more you narrow your list,
the more targeted it's gonna be.
And actually, you can narrow it too much.
You'll find sometimes,
if you narrow it too far,
this count will just say zero,
and you won't have anybody in the county
that fits exactly what you're looking for.
So, you can't be too picky,
but you definitely wanna be picky on some level,
so that you're not getting
every single house in the county.
So once we know we've got that,
the next step is,
you can actually view records.
And the nice thing about this is,
this allows you to see exactly
what you're gonna get before you buy it.
And it's not a nice Excel spreadsheet yet,
but it kinda gives you an idea
of what's gonna be there.
What's even nicer is that,
you can actually go through this
and you can eliminate redundancies,
you can rid of people who you basically
know will not sell to you.
For example, if I was looking through here
and saw Bank of America,
I'm probably not gonna buy a property
directly from Bank of America,
just given what I do.
So I would take that off the list.
Another thing, for this example,
we've got CDG Investments,
and it looks like they own three properties
that are all kinda right next to each other.
So, since I know I only gonna send them one postcard,
I'm not gonna send them 10 postcards
if they own 10 properties.
So really, what you can do is,
eliminate those redundancies, uncheck them,
and they're not gonna show up on your list,
and it's not gonna count against the number
that you're allowed to pull each month.
If you're looking to be efficient,
you can take the time to go through this
and really narrow things down.
So once you've kinda gone through it
and you know everything is checked that you want,
you hit select records,
and you really just wanna name it whatever you want to.
We'll just call it Orange.
And then, once that's processed,
the next step is to hit export.
And right here, it kinda checks all
of the different pieces of information
that are gonna be included in your list.
As you can imagine,
we don't need all of this stuff.
In fact, we're gonna end up deleting a lot of it,
if this ends up being on our list.
It really doesn't cost anything more to do this,
so I usually just leave it as is and hit okay.
And now it says, export file has been created,
and then you just download it,
and this is what you end up getting.
This is the list that we just essentially paid for,
as part of our monthly subscription.
And as you an see,
there's a lot of information here.
We're not gonna need a lot of this
and in the next video,
I'm gonna show you exactly what we do with this list,
how we make sense of it,
and how we filter it,
and make it look exactly like it needs to,
so that we can then,
go ahead and send out our mail.
So as you can see,
AgentPro's a pretty helpful tool.
Especially for real estate investors like us
who are trying to get property information,
pull lists, things like that.
I personally don't know of any tool out there
that's better than this.
I mean it's been just a really awesome resource for me.
So if you're watching this right now,
and you're thinking to yourself,
"Ya know, this is good.
"I gotta get in on this."
Then, there's really a couple things that you can do.
First of all, if you want to do a free trial,
you can go right down here,
click on that button
and just sort of follow the prompts
and do what you need to do.
But if you see this and you know right off the bat
that this is what you need,
and you wanna pull the trigger and sign up,
all you have to do is go right up here
to the sign up now button,
and the first thing that you're gonna see
is this right here.
And what you're looking at right here
are all of the different types of subscriptions
that you can sign up for.
And something that you'll obviously see,
if you look over here to the right,
is really just the cost per month.
And they can be pretty expensive,
all the way down to pretty cheap.
If you're looking to run a business
like the one that I do,
you're probably gonna wanna go with
either this one right here,
the Bronze subscription,
or the Profile Package over here.
The only real difference is
with the Bronze subscription,
you're gonna wanna choose this one
if you're primary purpose is just to pull lists
for direct mail purposes.
If that's what you're after
and that's all you really wanna do,
then that's probably the best choice for you.
On the other hand,
if you wanna use AgentPro to actually
do a lot of property research,
pull up property profile reports
and figure out transaction history,
market values, locations, addresses,
all this stuff.
In that case, you'll probably wanna do the Profile Package,
because it allows you to pull up to
50 full profiles per month.
Personally, my business model doesn't really require me
to pay a ton of money
for these really expensive subscriptions,
but I know that there are some business models out there
that actually require this kind of thing.
If you wanna get foreclosure data,
or mortgage information or,
all of that stuff.
If that's something you need,
then by all means,
feel free to sign up for some of these.
So whichever one you wanna do,
I want you to pay attention to something here,
because this is a trick that not many people know about.
If you go right up here to the partner ID box,
all you have to do is enter in this code,
C, F, G, R, S, H,
and when I click update,
I want you to pay attention to what happens
to all of these numbers here.
Once I do that,
all the prices for everything
across the board goes down 10%.
And that's not just the savings on one month,
that's a permanent savings
for the life of your subscription.
So, you'll definitely wanna enter that code
and save yourself some money over the long haul.
Once you've got your subscription chose,
I'm just gonna pick that one for now
and go next.
And this window right here,
I don't really do anything with.
You can just sorta hit next again.
And this one again, you just hit next again.
It just kinda summarizes the prices for you.
And in this step right here,
it's really just the usual drill
where you fill in all your contact information,
and choose a password and all that.
But one thing I wanna draw your attention to,
is the fact that all these fields
are actually required fields,
as you'll see by these little asterisks right here.
Obviously that's no big deal
until you get down here,
when it asks for your real estate license number.
I get a lot of questions from people
who say, "You know Seth,
"I can't get through because I'm not a real estate agent.
"I don't have that license number."
I'll just tell you right now,
it's okay, alright?
All you gotta do if you're an investor,
is just type the word, Investor in here.
And then, you'll have something in that field
and then you'll be able to click on the next one
and keep moving forward.
In the next couple of steps,
you'll have to enter in your payment information,
and make your first payment and get started,
and that's really all there is to it.
It's not too complicated.
So thanks again for watching.
I hope you found this video helpful.
