Hello and Welcome to the ReiFax.com Webinar Training Archive for January 6th, 2012. Here are some of the questions our subscribers asked in today’s training. Please watch the video to see the answer to all these questions and more:

• Q: how do I save a search?
• Q: What is the differece between “my follow up” and “my follow list”?
• Q: Can I seperate my follow up into different areas? such as the first three numbers are different.
• Q: My Follow Up:Is there any way in My Follow Up to mark that a property’s agent/seller has made such a large counteroffer that the deal is impossible, without actually deleting the property from My Follow Up? If I delete the property from My Follow Up, then I might end up pursuing it again if I run another search in a week and forget that I already bid on it. I know that I can make a note in My Follow Up, but unless I read through all of my followed properties, this information will not be readily accessible. Is there any way to make this fact that there is no possibility for a deal visually apparent from the follow list?
• Q: Comparables: Hello Ramon, I am trying to create as a low an average as I can within the Comparables window, so that I can send screenshots with offers. When looking at Comparables in Overview, is there any way to filter out properties that sold high, but are still so close in distance/proximity to the Overview property that they are unavoidable when using a rectangle? Or is there any way to isolate properties with the polygon tool but then to eliminate the polygon tool’s appearance so it is not so obvious that the data is being skewed to create a lower average?
• Q: Thanks for the Comparables advice.Probates Contact Info:In an Overview for a probate property, the phone numbers belong to the deceased owner, not the people who are in charge of the estate/property of the deceased right?
• Q: Thank you. If I find a realtor’s contact email is incorrect, and then I find the correct email online, is there any way that I can email it to Reifax so that it can be corrected within the system?
• Q: When we bring up the statistics of the area around a property, we can see that there are properties that are over-leveraged but not on the market.  Is there any way we can click on those numbers and there would be a list that pops up?  It would have to be a link.  I am already aware that we can do the advanced search to get this information but it would be nice to make it simpler for users who area laready staring at the number in the x-ray report.  Robin
