Run a disciplined permit-led workflow in the same app your agents use in the field.
Prioritize by filed permit activity and contactability rather than generic consumer listing flow.
Keep ownership and execution accountability attached to ZIP territory.
Positioning note: Ziplytica is built around the Territory Manager, layered on territory operations and building permit queues.
Yes. Redfin and Ziplytica serve overlapping real estate users, but Ziplytica is a territory-first speed platform: daily building-permit refresh on owned ZIPs, Firston Sight on-demand distress leads with owner contacts, Duel Signal when permit and distress align, and Territory Manager execution—not only search or listing visibility.
Yes—through Firston Sight (Ziplytica’s distress-lead product). Add properties with owner contacts for ZIPs you own straight to your team queue. It is on-demand execution inside the ZIPs you hold, not a county-wide list export.
Yes. Ziplytica is designed for field execution. Agents can work opportunities, add notes, update statuses, and move records through workflow from mobile and desktop in one operating layer.
Ziplytica combines daily permit refresh across the full desk (sale, occupancy, tenants, construction), Firston Sight distress leads, territory controls, and contact unlock workflow in one system—so teams act in the ZIP they own instead of sorting stale exports.
Exclusive seats are first-claim, first-lock. Once a seat is full, that lane stays closed until capacity opens.
