The setup steps
1
Select Your ZIPs
Go to Deal Hub and click ZIPs in the toolbar (or Add Your First ZIP). Add ZIP
codes by state/city or one at a time, then click Save ZIP changes.
What it unlocks: this powers all of Deal Hub - listings only appear for ZIPs you
track. If skipped: Deal Hub stays empty and there is nothing to find or save.
2
Set Buyer Identity
In Basic Setup > Buyer Identity, fill in Your
Name and Company Name and click Save Profile.
What it unlocks: the buyer name and sender identity used in all outbound outreach.
If skipped: your messages go out without a proper identity, which hurts reply rates.
3
Set Phone Number
In Basic Setup > Phone Number, choose Get an
instant number from us and enter a preferred area code, or connect your own.
What it unlocks: SMS and calling. If skipped: you can’t text or call listing
agents.
4
Set Email Setup
In Basic Setup > Email Setup, configure your sender
email, branded domain, and email signature.
What it unlocks: email outreach, including email steps in sequences. If skipped:
email sends are unavailable and you’re limited to SMS and calls.
5
Your Profile
On your Profile page, finish your personal setup: set your display name, connect
WhatsApp (enter your WhatsApp number and click Activate - you’ll receive a test
message to confirm), and verify your cell number for call forwarding.
What it unlocks: notifications and calls reach you personally. If skipped: you
may miss replies and inbound calls.
6
Book Onboarding Call
If your plan includes a live onboarding session, the Get Started slider shows Book
Onboarding Call, and you may also see a Schedule banner at the top of the app. Click
Book Onboarding Call to open an in-app scheduler and pick a time. Opening the booking
window completes this step - you can close it without scheduling if you already know the
product. If you do not see this step or the Schedule banner, your plan does not include
a live onboarding session and you can skip this step.
What it unlocks: a live walkthrough with the Propilot team. If skipped: you can
still use the product, but you miss guided setup help.
After setup: your first deal in 10 minutes
1
Open Deal Hub
Your saved ZIPs are already loading listings. Sort or filter to put the biggest discounts
on top - each card shows a discount pill such as 15% under comparing list price to
the comps-based value.
2
Open a hot deal
Click a card with a strong discount and reasonable days on market. The full property
workspace opens with photos, pricing, and analysis.
3
Review the comps
Check the Comps value against the list price and skim the comparable sales behind it.
If the discount holds up, you have a candidate.
4
Save it
Click the heart (Save property). The listing moves to your Deal Pipeline in the
Not Contacted stage, and a “Saved to pipeline” toast offers a View in Deal
Pipeline link.
5
Message the agent
From the property workspace, message the listing agent by SMS or email - pick a template
or write your own. Messaging from a listing auto-saves it to your pipeline if you haven’t
already.
Common first-run mistakes
- Forgetting to click Save Profile after updating your buyer identity.
- Staging ZIPs but never clicking Save ZIP changes - ZIPs still showing the New badge in the unsaved list aren’t tracked yet.
- Entering a ZIP code that isn’t exactly 5 digits.
- Skipping the WhatsApp Activate click - you must receive the test message.
- Trying to add Kentucky/Louisville ZIPs here (those are handled by the Off-Market Scanner).
- Wondering why a saved listing vanished from Deal Hub - saved listings move to your Deal Pipeline and are hidden from Deal Hub browse by design.
