PropStream — Pros & Cons

Pros

160M+ property records filterable across 165+ criteria — rare granularity for off-market prospecting

PropStream Connect bundles skip tracing, click-to-dial dialer, and direct mail in one add-on
iOS/Android mobile app built for driving-for-dollars field workflows

Cons

No polished, branded CMA presentation builder — a poor fit for traditional listing appointments
Aggregated MLS data can lag live board feeds by 24–48 hours without a direct board login
PropStream Connect skip tracing and dialer cost an additional $30/mo on top of the base plan
Steep learning curve — 165+ filters and layered data views overwhelm agents with basic comp needs
