When it comes to investing in technology-driven solutions, especially in the real estate sector, it is natural to feel cautious before making a commitment. One common request we often receive is for a short-term trial or a two-month test of our services before committing to a full-year subscription. While we understand the concerns new subscribers have about paying annual costs upfront, RED does not offer short-term trials, and here's why.

Annual Payments Make Business Sense.

The services we offer are structured on an annual payment model because the underlying infrastructure itself operates annually. For example, website hosting is billed annually, domain names are registered annually, and even the design and setup of your website are factored into the annual package price. These costs are paid upfront and cannot be broken down into a two-month period once they are covered for the year. Therefore, an annual payment from our subscribers aligns perfectly with the structure of the services we provide.

Flexibility in the Second Year.

In the second year, RED subscribers have the flexibility to pay for any number of months they choose. However, the payment plans are structured in such a way that paying for fewer months is more expensive than paying for more months. This ensures that long-term engagement continues to provide maximum value while offering some flexibility for those who have already experienced the benefits of the RED.

The Value of Long-Term Engagement.

Our model is designed to provide sustained visibility and results, which only become meaningful when you commit for the full period. In fact, some hot leads generated in the first and second month may still be in the pipeline by the third month. A short test period would not only undervalue the process but also prevent you from experiencing the true potential of the system. Real results in real estate marketing come with consistency and time.

Why Confidence Shouldn't Be a Barrier.

The Real Estate Database (RED) is the largest database of properties and agents. It has already worked successfully for many agents and property managers, giving them visibility, leads, and sales. This proven success should give you the confidence to commit to a one-year subscription. I strongly believe it will work for you too as long as you follow all the rules and recommendation, just as it has worked for others in the industry.

My Final Thoughts.

We do not offer short-term testing because our model is designed for long-term results, built on annual infrastructure costs, and proven to deliver value over time. By committing for a year, you are not just paying for a service, you are investing in visibility, consistency, and access to the largest property and agent network in the region.

While a two-month trial may feel more comfortable, the reality is that it would not reflect the true value of what you stand to gain. A one-year commitment ensures you experience the full benefits and long-term results that the RED is known for, with added flexibility in subsequent years.
