Introduction
In the fast-paced world of real estate, having access to the most current data can be the difference between closing a deal and missing out. Goliath Data has revolutionized the way real estate operators prospect, nurture, and close deals by leveraging real-time data scraping and seller intent signals. This article explores the critical differences between real-time scraping and static lists, highlighting what Goliath has learned through its innovative approach.
Understanding Real-time Scraping
Real-time scraping involves continuously monitoring and updating data from various sources, ensuring that users have access to the latest information. At Goliath, real-time seller data is updated hourly, providing users with the most current insights into potential sellers and market conditions. This allows real estate operators to identify motivated sellers early and act swiftly.
Benefits of Real-time Data
Immediate Access: With Goliath, users experience instant access to data, with a typical onboarding time of just two minutes. This speed to value is crucial in a competitive market.
Hourly Updates: The real-time tracking of data ensures that users are the first to know about shifts in seller intent and market conditions, allowing them to make informed decisions quickly.
Enhanced Prospecting: By using life and behavioral signals, Goliath can infer seller motivation, providing users with a more targeted approach to prospecting.
The Limitations of Static Lists
Static lists, on the other hand, are often outdated by the time they are used, leading to missed opportunities and inefficiencies. These lists rely on periodic updates, which can result in stale data and a reactive rather than proactive approach to real estate operations.
Challenges with Static Lists
Data Staleness: Static lists do not offer the same level of freshness as real-time scraping, potentially leading to outdated information that can hinder decision-making.
Missed Opportunities: Without real-time updates, users may miss out on key opportunities to connect with motivated sellers before their competitors.
Increased Manual Effort: Static lists often require manual updates and research, which can be time-consuming and prone to errors.
