How to evaluate a real estate agent contact list

Five checks that tell you more than a headline record count.

Start with what you will actually use. A recruiter needs license details; a photographer needs office location and email.

Compare unique emails to agent records. A big gap means many shared office addresses.
Look for separate refresh and verification dates. One undated "updated" badge tells you little.
Ask for fill rates per column, not just the column list.
Inspect a sample for your own area, not a generic one.
Read the replacement terms before you buy, including the time window.
