The Free Database Grade and Audit

Revaluate is pleased to offer another industry first, The Free Database Grade and Audit. Most real estate agents know there is gold in their database – but they don’t know how much it’s worth. They also know there’s a lot of junk in their database. In short, most databases are overdue for some maintenance and cleansing. Revaluate can help with both – and give you a clear visual of the health of your database.

The Simple Process

After syncing or sending Revaluate your contacts you will get a free database grade and audit. If you’ve not already done so, use this link to grade and audit your database for free. The database grade and audit is a fast, but not instant process. Generally it takes Revaluate about 10 min per thousand records to process and grade your database. You can check back in and refresh your page to see progress.

What’s Free?

When looking at a Revaluate report card, Two boxes on the Report Card are included for free – the Red Database Grade box, and the Green Audit box.
With the Grade box you can see the letter grade. Don’t be shocked if its not an A or a B. The grade of most databases are not good. We grade just like highschool on an A-F scale. Unfortunately, its not uncommon to have a D or an F right out of the gate.

The green audit box shows you some details on why your database got the grade shown above. It highlights some obvious issues, such as “suspicious contacts”

Suspicious contacts include contacts like bartsimpson@gmail.com and profanity@aol.com We also identify all the real estate agents from your database – To do this check, we look for real estate agency URL’s but also go check their job description on linkedin because it’s not going to be easy to sell a fellow real estate agents house right – so they are suspicious as well.

We also identify where you have holes in your data – frequently agents are missing physical addresses on a large number of contacts. This makes sense, as all zillow, realtor.com and other buyer leads do not come with the seller address.

Without a seller address, you don’t know if they live in Beaverton, Bentondorf or Boston. Without a physical address you cant do direct mail, a CMA or a door knock. These contacts are actually costing you on wasted marketing and sales efforts – until you fill in the blanks and get the physical address.
