Description: Future of Real Estate Data is Now in Real Time (LA 1352) Transcript: Steven Butala: Steve and Jill here. Jill DeWit: Hello. Steven Butala: Welcome to the Land Academy show, entertaining land investment talk. I'm Steven Jack Butala. Jill DeWit: And I'm Jill DeWit broadcasting from sunny Southern California. Steven Butala: Today, Jill and I talk about the future, how the future of real estate data is now and it's in real time. One of the roles that I've assigned my myself in life and in this partnership that Jill and I have is to be ahead of the game when it comes to technology and real estate. So I always kind of know what's coming up before it actually is released so we can take advantage of it and I obviously can share it with the Land Academy group and on the show and the whole thing. So I've been taking a lot of, during these COVID times, a lot of webinars, both paid and free, continuing education type webinars about real estate data. And so we're fortunate enough to have companies like CoreLogic, Black Knight and a couple other companies out there like ATTOM Data. There's about five of them that consistently hold webinars that explain their products. And so I've been listening and watching these webinars and they're always held by these young geniuses. These kids are just amazingly intelligent and they explain their new products. So that's what this whole show is about. I can see how this is going to go and how it's going to go for us as land investors, which we will obviously share as it comes up with the Land Academy community. That's what it's all about. Jill DeWit: It's funny how much we both consume of webinars. I love them. So, and it's funny, my webinars, there's a lot that we do together. And then there's webinars that we each go off on our own separate way and get to be really proficient in. And that's what this is all about. I love it. It's good. There's a lot of good content out there. Steven Butala: Before we get into it, let's take a question posted by one of our members on the landinvestors.com online community. It's free. Jill DeWit: Ian wrote, I want to buy a primary residence in San Antonio. I usually buy homes, retail through a realtor, but I figured I would get the direct mail route a shot. What's the best way to send out a mailer to neighborhoods I'm interested in? I have ParcelFact, but I know Jill has talked about how NeighborScoop has a polygon function that I believe she said, we'll put the ownership data into an Excel file. Should I use that method? I love it. Steven Butala: So I'm going to pose this question to you because I just want to see what the answer is. I know what the answer is, but if you want to buy a primary residence, let's just use that example. I think Ian's a house flipper. I know he is, but if you want to buy a primary residence and you want to send a mailer out, how would you do it, aside from just asking me to do it? Jill DeWit: You know what? It depends on if I really have my heart set on a geographic area. Steven Butala: Keep going, this is what I want. This is a great thought process. Jill DeWit: Right. Steven Butala: Go ahead. Jill DeWit: Or if I have my heart set on a school district kind of thing. So is it really the block and I like the subdivision? If it's that detailed, I want waterfront in this subdivision, I want to be near the tennis courts. Who knows what it is that the community provides? Steven Butala: Maybe it's on the water. You only want waterfront property? Jill DeWit: I'm going to use the polygon thing because I don't want to send offers to any homes outside the geographic area. And then I could easily draw a polygon, like Ian says, download all the data. It gives me, the beautiful thing about NeighborScoop, it gives me every last thing, all the property details plus the phone number. I mean, that's just priceless. Steven Butala: The owner's phone number? Jill DeWit: The owner's phone number. I love it. So that's what I do.
