Keep reps in one field workflow for claiming, updating, and closing out lead status.
Focus on filed permits (sale, occupancy, tenants, construction) rather than competing only in public portal traffic.
Track team execution by territory, not by disconnected tools.
Positioning note: Ziplytica is one of the few platforms designed around a field-usable ZTM pipeline workflow layered directly on top of territory operations and building permit queues.
Yes. Zillow 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 Adds with owner contacts, Duel Signal when permit and distress align, and field-ready ZTM execution—not only search or listing visibility.
Yes—through Firston Sight (Ziplytica’s distress / seller-motivation product). Add properties with owner contacts for ZIPs you own straight to your team queue. It is on-demand execution inside your territory seat, 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 Adds, 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.
