Q: Tell me about your Expireds service...

A: The RedX Expired Listing Research Service is different than any other on the market. We offer a complete contact manager RolEDXTM free of charge which delivers expired, withdrawn, and cancelled lead information to you with owner contact information, andquot;Do Not Callandquot; status in the U.S., and much more. All you do is download your daily expired listings from your MLS export function. This download function does not violate MLS rules and regulations, unlike our competition, and we always outperform their service!

Our RolEDXTM software is loaded with features, yet very user friendly - and comes as part of our $59.99 monthly service plan.

The RolEDXTM does the searching for owner contact information so you are free to do the selling! Our service uses proprietary technology that performs the task of research in just minutes instead of hours of manual research.

Sign up online at http://www.theredx.com/signup/nextlevelservices.html and spend your time selling not searching!


Q: Doesn't my MLS provide me with a list of expired listings? Why would I need your service?

A: Great question! Yes, your MLS does provide you with a list of expired listings. However, what they don't provide you with is accurate contact information for the owner of the property. Either the MLS or the Real Estate agent that was previously representing that listing will remove the owner's name and phone number from the listing before it expires. This creates a time consuming and frustrating task for agents desiring to generate new listings from expired listings, forcing them to research each expired listing to enable them to contact the owner. Our service researches owner information so you don't have to. Saving you time and money!


Q: Does your service operate through E-MAIL?

A: No. Rather than waiting, we provide you with a contact/listing manager, the RolEDXTM, which resides on your computer and automatically locates owner contact information for all of your expired, withdrawn, and cancelled listings. Using this delivery method, you always have real-time access to the most current expired listings available!

A: We scan and search newspapers, magazines, websites, and various other public sources FSBO postings. In fact, we consult with real estate professionals in each area to determine the best information sources so we can provide the best quality and maximum quantity of leads for the lowest price.


Q: How current are the leads you provide?

A: Usually same day posted! Daily we scan and search all current 'For Sale By Owner' ads, 7 days a week. We know how important it is to you that the leads are 'fresh' and delivered quickly. The RedX collects and delivers ads the same day.


Q: How often do you deliver the leads?

A: Monday-Saturday. We send leads the same day they are posted! (Sunday leads are sent on Monday.)


Q: How accurate are your leads?

A: 99.99% accurate. We obtain our leads from public sources and deliver them to you as they are advertised. We make little to no changes to the ads. If there are any inaccuracies it typically originates from the source, such as the property seller or newspaper. In the case of a 'wrong' phone number from a reverse directory search, again, the source of the error typically originates from 'old or inaccurate' data from the directory providers.


Q: How do you screen out 'blind ads'?

A: The 'blind ad' is one that does not identify the broker or agent placing the ad. The RedX has a system of tracking and eliminating most blind ads. However, because there is no way to determine the source of all blind ads, we cannot catch them all.


Q: How do I import my FSBO listings into the Roledx?

A: First, make sure your FSBO provider is on our list of compatible providers. Second, make sure your provider emails you the listings in an attachment. Once you receive the listings in an attachment, save the attachment to your desktop. Open the Roledx. The Import Wizard on the right should automatically detect the file. Click andquot;Yes, import this file.andquot; Your FSBO listings will then be imported into the FSBO folder. ]]>
