How to Use the Real Estate Professional Matchmaking System as a Professional

Overview

The Real Estate Professional Matchmaking System on Deal Connect is designed to help you be discovered by property owners, buyers, and investors at the exact moment they are viewing a property—without cold calling, buying lists, or competing for attention.

Instead of chasing leads, you appear inside property searches based on location and service category. Users choose you first, and connections only move forward when there is real intent.

This system replaces lead chasing with earned discovery.


What Problem Does This Solve?

Traditional lead platforms often require:

  • Paying upfront for low-quality or shared leads
  • Competing with multiple professionals at once
  • Engaging prospects with unclear intent or timing

The Real Estate Professional Matchmaking System solves this by:

  • Showing your profile only on relevant property searches
  • Letting users choose you before contact happens
  • Aligning cost with real interest and availability

You stop chasing. You start getting chosen.


How the Matchmaking System Works (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Create or Log In to Your Professional Account

Log in to Deal Connect and complete your Professional profile.
This profile is what users see when browsing professionals from a property page.


Step 2: Complete Your Professional Profile

Your profile may include:

  • Profile picture
  • About Us section
  • Services offered
  • Coverage areas
  • Verification status ($99, optional)
  • Reviews and reputation indicators
    • Google Review page
    • Deal Connect (DC) reviews
  • Auto-Lead (optional, autopay feature)

A complete, optimized profile increases trust and selection rate.


Step 3: Optional Verification ($99)

Verification is not required, but it adds an additional layer of trust.

Verified professionals may stand out visually and gain more confidence from users.
The verification fee is $99 and helps signal credibility inside the ecosystem.


Step 4: Receiving Connections & How Charging Works

When Auto-Lead Is ON (Autopay)

  • Connections are accepted automatically
  • You set:
    • Your bid amount
    • Your monthly budget
  • You are charged once per week for all accepted leads, or
  • When your monthly budget is reached, whichever comes first
  • Auto-Lead allows visibility in up to 3 cities instead of 1

This is ideal for hands-off growth and consistent deal flow.

When Auto-Lead Is OFF (Pay-As-You-Go)

  • You receive a connection with interest shown, but no contact information
  • To access the user’s contact information, you pay $10 per lead
  • You decide case-by-case whether to proceed

This is ideal for selective, manual control.


Step 5: Making Contact

Once a connection is accepted or paid for:

  • You receive the other party’s contact information
  • Outreach happens directly (phone, text, or email)
  • Both sides already understand the property and service context

This keeps conversations intentional and efficient.


Auto-Lead (Autopay) Explained

Auto-Lead allows connections to be made automatically based on your preferences.

With Auto-Lead enabled, you can:

  • Set a bid amount per connection
  • Set a monthly budget
  • Accept connections automatically without manual approval
  • Appear in up to 3 cities instead of 1

Auto-Lead is designed for professionals who want consistent exposure without daily management.


Pro Rank: What Impacts Your Visibility

Your visibility on Deal Connect is influenced by your Pro Rank.

Factors that impact Pro Rank include:

  • Profile completion
  • Verification status
  • Auto-Lead enabled or disabled
  • Bid amount
  • Monthly budget
  • Location coverage
  • Service category relevance

Optimizing these factors increases how often and how prominently your profile appears in property searches.


Tips for Better Results

  • Fully complete your profile
  • Add strong descriptions and services
  • Link your Google Reviews
  • Consider verification for added trust
  • Use Auto-Lead for consistent exposure
  • Choose coverage areas carefully

Small optimizations can significantly increase visibility.


How This Is Different From Lead Platforms

  • No upfront lead packages
  • No paying for clicks or impressions
  • No shared phone call races
  • No forced outreach

You only pay when there is real interest.
