- What data does Ziplytica include?
- Ziplytica combines commercial and residential building permit leads inside ZIP territories you subscribe to with Firston Sight—on-demand distressed-property signals: pre-foreclosure and foreclosure filings, REO / bank-owned properties, auction properties, tax-delinquent owners, tax and judgment liens, vacant homes, absentee and tired landlords, and probate / inherited properties. Private-list Instant Trace is for address lists missing owner contacts, and it runs only in ZIPs you own: 1 credit per match, misses free. Preview ZIP density first with the free List Inspector.
- Does Ziplytica provide foreclosure and pre-foreclosure leads?
- Yes. Firston Sight surfaces pre-foreclosure, foreclosure auction, and REO / bank-owned filings from roughly the last 30 days in ZIPs your firm holds, alongside ongoing signals like tax-delinquent, lien, vacant, absentee-landlord, and probate properties. Each Add includes the property and owner contact details, so you go from filing to first call in the same workflow. Coverage is nationwide across the United States by ZIP, city, and neighborhood. If you do not see yours, request setup and we will turn it on for that geography.
- What is the Manager Command Center?
- The Command Center is the manager home screen. It shows owned ZIPs, active portfolio value, unclaimed permits, available credits, team claim rate, and Firston Sight tools to Add motivated properties to Leads.
- How does the Contact Directory work?
- Every owner lookup, Firston Sight add, and LLC owner lookup your team runs is stored in the Directory with phones, emails, and the last time someone reached out. Agents search those contacts and send mail without running the lookup again.
- How do postcards and letters work?
- From the Outreach tab on any claimed lead, choose a postcard or handwritten-style letter template. Ziplytica shows the credit cost, asks you to confirm, and sends it to print. Mail is charged only after the send is accepted.
- What does a credit pay for?
- Adding a distressed property with Firston Sight costs 2 credits, an owner lookup on your own list costs 1, finding the person behind an LLC costs 5, a 4×6 postcard costs 4, and a handwritten-style letter costs 5. Monthly credit budgets for each plan are on the pricing page.
- Does Ziplytica include onboarding help?
- Yes. The workspace ships with a built-in assistant: a role-based getting-started checklist, guided tours of the queue, pipeline, and Command Center you can replay anytime, and an AI chat that answers product questions and drafts compliant outreach copy for claimed leads.
- Is Ziplytica a PropStream alternative?
- Yes. PropStream is list search and export. Ziplytica is a PropStream alternative for desks that want Permit territories, live building-permit leads, Firston Sight, Instant Trace on owned ZIPs, and mail from one credit ledger—without buying another stale dump.
- How is Ziplytica different from PropStream or CoStar?
- PropStream optimizes list search and export. CoStar optimizes CRE research. Ziplytica optimizes territory execution: Permit territories, live permits, Firston Sight, private-list Instant Trace, and mail from one credit ledger—so desks jump ship from stale list buys and fragmented tools.
- Who owns a ZIP territory on Ziplytica?
- Your firm. Shared seats cap how many brokerages can operate in a ZIP, Premier is scarcer, and Exclusive means only one brokerage owns that ZIP. Permit and Firston Sight leads in an owned ZIP route to that desk—not a county-wide list anyone can buy.
- Do you offer distress leads in my ZIP, city, or neighborhood?
- Yes. Firston Sight can be set up for ZIP codes, cities, and neighborhoods anywhere in the United States. Search Permit territories first. If you do not see yours, request coverage and we will turn Firston Sight on for that geography.
