How to Research Properties with RealQuest Professional

Full Blog Post: https://retipster.com/real-estate-dat...

Something I appreciate about RealQuest is that there's a wide array of functionality within their system.

Pros:
- Access to data anywhere in the United States.
- Users can reference "Latest Recording Date" to verify how current the database is.
- Extremely versatile functionality for doing property research, finding properties, and getting the most information on each one.
- Most (though not all) county data is kept current and up to date.

Cons:
- No Tax Default data available.
- The service is only accessible through a very expensive subscription, with additional charges for using their list generating service.
- Subscription required, with fairly high barriers to entry (signing up can only be done through a live call with a sales rep, and subscriptions are only available with a 12 month commitment).
- Customer Service exists, but could use some improvement.

Pricing:
At the time of this writing, there are a few different pricing options available:

Option 1 – Starter Package $150/mo (12 month subscription)
- 150 Property Detail Reports, Comparable Searches, Street Map Plus Reports (Aerial Map Included), Foreclosure Detail Reports and Map Searches
- Custom Search - $0.10/record
- Property Characteristics - $0.05/record
- Expanded Property Characteristics - $0.05/record
- Mortgage Info - $0.12/property
- Transaction Info - $0.12/property
- Specialty Fields - $0.12/property
(Note: The Starter Package is for one state only)

Option 2 – Growth Package $225/mo (12 month subscription)
- 250 Property Detail Reports, Comparable Searches, Street Map Plus Reports (Aerial Map Included), Foreclosure Detail Reports and Map Searches
- Custom Search - 1,500 records/mo

(Note: The Growth Package covers the entire United States)

Option 3 – Portfolio Package $275/mo (12 month subscription)

Keep in mind, users must commit to a full 12 month subscription to gain access to RealQuest Professional - so effectively, the price for these plans is more like $1,800, $2,700 and $3,300 just to get into the system for a full year.

From what I saw, their system works very well (I couldn't detect any glitches or problems in its functionality) and I was very impressed at how specific their filtering criteria allows users to narrow down the types of properties on each list... but it also costs 10x more than every other option on the market (honestly, even as I write this, I'm still trying to cope with the sticker shock).

If you are a high-volume data user and have the budget to work with this kind of service (you know who you are), this could be the tool to bring your business to the next level. If so, give them a call at 866-774-3282.
