 Frequently Asked Questions:
Take a look below to find out answers to common questions that may help you decide
 What
is RealProspect?
RealProspect is a software program designed to handle the prospecting activities
for the Real Estate Investing business. Managing and following-up with semi-motivated
and motivates sellers is the key to success as a Real Estate Investor.
RealProspect provides a scalable system to handle thousands, or even tens of thousands
of prospects, allowing you to efficiently manage and follow-up with them which ultimately
leads to more deals.
The program is designed with all the tools and features that you would need to successfully
setup a powerful prospecting solution to automate that entire aspect of your business. |
How long
does it take to install RealProspect?
Literally just a few minutes! You can download your software or wait for
it to be delivered to you on CD, then just run the setup program. The installation
wizard will ask you two questions (but you can just accept the default settings),
then the installation will setup the program for you.
Once you have the software installed, you will need to activate it online by entering
in your software serial number to retrieve your activation key. Then you are ready
to enter in your prospects. |
Can I
install RealProspect on multiple computers on a network?
Yes. RealProspect can be networked with up to 10 computers. The RealProspect licensing
allows you to install up to 10 clients, however you can only install one database
per copy of RealProspect. |
Can I
import mailing lists from list providers like RealQuest?
Yes. RealProspect provides you with an import utility to allow importing prospect
records from a .csv (comma separated values) file. Most list providers will give
you their lists in a CSV or an Excel file (you can save an Excel file as a CSV).
You would then use the RealProspect import utility to import that data into your
new prospect database. |
Can I
import my Microsoft Word formatted letter templates that I already have?
Yes. You can save your Word templates as RTF (Rich Text Format) files using the
Word "Save As" feature, then open your RTF converted letter templates with the RealProspect
letter editor. Then you just drop in your placeholders and they will be personalized
with prospect information when they are printed. |
Does
RealProspect come with letter templates pre-loaded?
We provide you with an example mailing campaign and letter template, but you will
have to create your own letters. However, you can get a complete set of tested
and proven letter templates by clicking here. |
Does
RealProspect integrate with online mail processing services like click2mail.com?
Yes, but not directly. There is not a programmable interface to allow us to link
up with click2mail.com yet, but you can easily setup your letter or post card templates
with them, and then use RealProspect to manage the scheduling for your multi-step
mailing campaigns. Then wehn a mailing is ready to be printed you just export
the records for that mailing and upload it to click2mail.com.
The RealProspect campaign and prospect management process works the same, the only
difference is that you upload your list to click2mail.com to have your letters printed
instead of on your own printer. |
How many
records can the RealProspect database hold?
The RealProspect database is limited in physical size of 1GB, not limited by the
number of records. You can have literally hundreds of thousands of records
in there with no problem. |
Can records
be exported out of RealProspect to be used with other programs?
Yes. You can export records from the category manager, from a search result, or
from a mailing campaign that is ready to be printed. The data is exported in a CSV
file format which is a universally accepted format that most software programs are
designed to be able to import from. |
Do I
need to buy any other software programs to use RealProspect?
NO. You do not need any other software to use RealProspect. This software
installs a Runtime version of Microsoft Access to use as the database platform and
all of the components are built into the program and the installer. You simply
install using our installation program that we provide you and everything you need
is setup for you to begin using immediately. |
Is RealProspect
MAC compatible?
No. RealProspect was programmed to be used on Windows, however Microsoft has developed
a solution for Mac users that want to run Windows programs. Virtual PC for Mac, or a program called Parallels will allow you to install a virtual version
of Windows XP on your Mac, so you can install run Windows programs. |
Can RealProspect
be used to collect leads submitted on a website?
Yes. If you are using a website solution like RealWebsite that can send you the form submissions in a
CSV file format, then you can easily import those records into your database. |
Is there
technical support if anything goes wrong?
Absolutely! Technical support is FREE via email and our support
knowledge base. If you have a question or issue you can check our ever expanding
support knowledge base that will be available from your user profile when you login,
and if you need additional assistance you can email us and we will respond within

Will
RealProspect be adding any new features in the future?
Definitely! We will be listneing to your feedback, comments and input and adding
it to RealProspect as time goes by to ensure you stay ahead of your competition and
maximize the benefits of owning our software. |
