Before you can begin marketing to property owners and sending offers, you’ll need to complete the Investment Dominator Setup Wizard. This one-time setup process configures your business information, websites, phone numbers, and branding so your system is ready to generate leads and send mail campaigns.
This guide walks you through each section of the Setup Wizard and explains the recommended settings.
Accessing the Setup Wizard
When you first log into Investment Dominator, you’ll see the Setup Wizard button on your dashboard.
To begin:
- Log in to Investment Dominator.
- Click Setup.
- Follow the guided steps to enter your information.
Note: If you’ve already completed the setup and need to access it again, submit a support ticket and our team can reset the Setup Wizard for you.

PO Box
A traditional PO Box also works well.

Company Time Zone
This is the business time zone displayed on your marketing materials.
Choose the time zone where you want prospects to expect business communications.

Step 3: Buying (Acquisition) Setup

Connecting an Existing Domain
If you already own a domain through providers such as:
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap

You can connect it to Investment Dominator by updating your DNS settings.
If you need assistance:

Offer Phone Number
Enter your negotiation line.
This number is used when sellers want to discuss an offer you’ve sent.
Because these conversations often involve pricing discussions, this line should typically route directly to you or a knowledgeable team member.

Examples:
Most users simply reuse their primary business email.
Real Estate Agent Disclosure
If you are a licensed real estate agent or broker:
- Select Yes.

If you are not licensed:
Select No.
Step 4: Selling (Disposition) Setup
This section configures your selling business.
Selling Brand
Examples:

- Premier Land Listings
Your selling brand should clearly indicate that you sell properties.
Selling Website Domain
Choose a domain dedicated to selling properties.
Examples:

Why Separate Buying and Selling Websites?
Keeping these separate helps:
- Maintain professional branding
- Separate buyer and seller audiences
- Avoid pricing confusion
This is considered a best practice.
Sales Phone Number

This number is used by buyers interested in purchasing your properties.
Sales Email
