Property Watch (Paragon 5)

NOW AVAILABLE! Property Watch, a powerful tool within Paragon®, helps real estate agents quickly and easily stay up-to-date with updates that are made in property data to the properties they select. Armed with the most current and immediate data about a property, agents can market their services to potential customers – before the competition does.

Agents automatically receive email alerts when there are changes on their selected properties. Alerts include valuation changes, foreclosures, if a property is listed on MLS, lien changes and more. Agents can use this data a variety of ways, such as being the first to approach a potential lead for a listing when the home value increases.
 
In addition to sending alerts, Property Watch includes a list view that can be utilized as a cart for property data.
 
COMING SOON!
Ability to download lists so agents can sort, email, print or import the data into a customer relationship management (CRM) system.
 
How to “Watch a Property”: 

A Property Watch can be added from the property panel that displays when a parcel is clicked on the map located under the Map Search Tab or the Google Map View of search results.

Clicking on the WATCH PROPERTY option will automatically register the agent to receive email alerts when the aforementioned events occur on the public record. Once enabled, the link toggles to Remove Watch where the watch can easily be removed. 

After a property has been added to a watch, it can easily be accessed from a new TAX menu option called My Property Watches, which is also where agents can access any current alerts.
 
Selecting the My Property Watch option displays a list of any properties that have been set to Watch. The Property Watch grid displays the property panel of the highlighted row for quick access to the additional enhanced public record data. Watches can be removed by highlighting the row and clicking the Remove Watch option.
 
When any of the defined changes occur for a watched property, an alert is generated. Alerts are delivered in an email direct to the agent and displayed in the Alerts Grid. The Alerts grid displays the Tax ID, Address, Alert Type and Alert Date. This data will display after the first alert has been received. Until then, a message will display letting the user know that no alerts have been received on watched properties.
 
When an alert is generated, an email is sent to the watching agent. The Alert Email is a simple, no-reply textual email to notify the agent that some change has occurred. If there are multiple changes on a record, they will be rolled up into the same message.
