Just finished playing around a bit with the tool myself. It's something Jerry Norton released recently to the public to pull data.

Did some quick data comparisons for fun between 2 other platforms I currently use - PropStream and MLS (I'm licensed in Florida)

I specifically searched for a handful of On-Market properties (active/closed transactions) and noticed the following:

- You can't search for specific properties on PropWire

- PropWire data isn't up to date (30+ day discrepancy) compared to PropStream; neither is up to date compared to MLS (3rd party data providers hardly ever are)

- PropWire estimated value vastly different from PropStream value (50k+ difference in most instances)

- No property photos (yet)

Initial thoughts: It's a brand new tool and can't imagine it was gonna be great out of the gate. I do like the UI, though; sleek and simple to understand. The comparisons I made were within my local market ONLY (South Florida market) so I can't speak to how the data stacks up in other areas/markets. I did only use it for about 30 minutes so don't take my results as the end all be all. Just wanted to provide some quick feedback. 

Hello, All.

I'm a newly licensed agent and i'm trying to help a friend (also an agent) with one of their luxury listings (they got it from a family member). They've had some challenges selling the property and the photos are one of the things they want to improve. Anyone have recommendations for a photographer with experience in this area that's local to Miami?

Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback, Charlie.

My idea is to present the client with multiple options when they are considering selling/buying.

I have a couple of questions regarding a scenario - A home owner wants sell, but doesn’t want to go the traditional Realtor route. Would I be able to claim interest and act as the buyer? What other options could I present to the seller?

Thanks!

Hi, Jason.

I live in Miami so ideally I’d like to start in my own backyard. I’ve heard/read it’s a highly competitive market so I’m not completely opposed to going the virtual route if need be.

My plan is to do Wholesaling part-time until I get some experience and then grow out the business further.

Hello, BP community.

Long time lurker, first time poster!

I currently hold a 9-5 doing IT consulting, but wanted to branch out and learn more about Real Estate and do a bit of networking. That’s why I decided to take the Florida state test to get licensed.

My short-term plan is to start a side gig Wholesaling and fund it with my 9-5 income until it can stand on it’s own legs. I’m not really looking to do the traditional Realtor thing. But first I have to find a brokerage to “hang” my license with so it becomes active/valid.

So I have a couple of questions:

- Anyone know any FL brokerages out there that would take someone in part-time?

- Would any conflicts of interest arise with the brokerage if I told them I wanted to do my own thing on the side?

Thanks!
