A Home and its History: RPR’s Property Details Page

When you land on an RPR Property Details page, you’ll find a wealth of data that details a home and its history.

Use this page to get an overview of basic facts about the property including current and historical photos, the property description, local market stats and trends, interior and exterior features, schools, homeowner information and location details. You’ll also find mortgage, deed and distressed info; side-by-side comparisons of MLS vs. public records information; sales, tax and mortgage histories; interactive maps and more.

There are six main tabs that make up a Property Details page:

1. Property Information
2. Market Trends
3. Refined Value
4. CMA
5. Neighborhood
6. My Updates

The Property Information tab of the Property Details is your starting place to find out anything and everything about a property. It’s packed with info! As soon as you search a specific property, you will be taken into the Property Details page, on the Property Information section.

The very first thing you’ll notice are the large photos. You can enlarge the photos in a slideshow, or for alternate views of the property, use the Street view or the Satellite view. You can also view historical photos and if the property has a 3D tour, you can access that as well.

Just to the right of the photo area, you’ll find a consolidated, yet comprehensive collection of property facts and valuation info. If listed, the property’s listing price is prominently shown, followed by access to the Realtors Valuation Model^® or RVM^®, the only automated valuation product owned and operated by the National Association of REALTORS^®. The RVM is exclusively available to REALTORS^®, and goes beyond the traditional AVM by incorporating listing and sales data from the MLS into the equation.

It also includes the RVM Confidence Score, displaying values between zero and five stars that indicate the level to which each of the multiple models “agrees” with the other estimated values for a given property. A five-star confidence score means that you can expect a property’s sales price to be within 10 percent of the property’s estimated value 90 percent of the time. (Read this explanation for more details on the RVM Confidence Score.)

The Property Information Page is overflowing with data and important information, just keep scrolling to reveal:

• Description: the written property description, entered by the listing agent

• Sales & Financing Activity: chart showing listing, sales activity, and mortgage activity
• Estimated Value: a line chart showing estimated value and assessed activity over time

Scrolling down the right hand side of the page, you’ll find:

• Click View More Details to expand the section.
• Choose a Listing ID to open and populate the listing to the page.
• Select the Compare Records button to analyze listing and public records side by side.

We showcase deed, tax, mortgage, and distressed information into one chart. Select Deed, Tax, Mortgage or Distressed at the chart’s top and click the View More Details link to open the entire chart. Click the side arrow to see additional years.

Now let’s take a look at the other sections available in the Property Details…

RPR makes it easier than ever to answer the question, “How’s the market doing?”

The Market Trends area gives you quick visual access to an array of statics, metrics and data on local housing markets.

All of these charts and graphs present local market activity, sales stats and inventory details, and package them in a new, easy-on-the-eyes layout and presentation.

These charts and graphs are perfect for research and staying on top of your local market trends, and for sharing with clients and prospects to position yourself as THE local market expert.

Next to the Market Trends tab is the Refine Value and CMA tabs.

The Refine Value tool is one of RPR’s most unique offerings. It allows REALTORS^® to update the value of a home based on improvements made or improvements that need to be made, market conditions, and a confirmation of the property’s characteristics. This tool can also help clients determine whether purchasing a home and then remodeling is worth the investment.

The CMA builder is a step-by-step wizard that walks users through the process of creating a Comparative Market Analysis (CMA). This tool’s advantage is the ability to more precisely pinpoint a price range for clients who are selling a property. Most importantly, you have the flexibility to enter a recommended price that may be derived from, or completely independent of, any comps calculation.

To learn more about the Refine Value Tool and/or to dig deeper and to learn how to build a CMA in RPR, check out our “Pricing a Property” tutorial series.

The Neighborhood tab within Property Details is a user-friendly configuration of data that profiles the people, economy, quality of life, and housing market that surround a property.

Here’s a quick look at some highlights of the charts and categories that are available:

• Market Trends
• New Listings
• Active Listings
• New Pending Listings
• Pending Listings
• Sold Listings
• Months Supply of Inventory
• Sold Public Records
• Top Five Occupations

This article, RPR Unveils New Charts and Graphs in its Neighborhood Pages, offers a step-by-step walkthrough of the Neighborhood section.

You can also see how to search neighborhood characteristics and trends in our Finding The Right Neighborhood For Your Buyer article.

This tab allows you to jot down notes and contribute your own photos and save it/attach it to the property. You can share these notes with clients by way of the reports you create or keep them to yourself. When adding photos, you can also easily choose one to be used as the cover photo on property reports. And finally, a worksheet to help you determine the Seller’s Proceeds. Watch this video to see how it works.

As you can see, we weren’t kidding about the “details” part in our Property Details page. Visit narrpr.com, type in an address into the Location/search bar, and see a real one for yourself. We’re confident you’ll be impressed and find everything there is to know about a property.
