You can update this later if needed.

This information is used only for your personal user account.

Step 2: Configure Company Information
The Company Information section contains the details displayed on your websites and marketing materials.
Company Phone Number
We recommend using dedicated business phone numbers instead of your personal phone number.
Recommended Phone Setup
For maximum flexibility, we recommend three separate business phone numbers:
| Purpose | Recommended Use |
|---|---|
| Company Line | General business contact |
| Offer Line | Incoming seller leads and offer requests |
| Sales Line | Buyers interested in properties for sale |
Why Use Three Numbers?
Using separate phone numbers allows you to:
- Better track marketing responses
- Separate buying and selling activities
- Delegate incoming seller calls to a call center or AI answering service
- Maintain a more professional operation
Many users use virtual phone providers such as Quo to manage these numbers through a single mobile device.
Tip: Starting with separate numbers now can save significant time and effort later as your business grows.
Company Email Address
This email address will appear on your marketing materials and websites.
You have two options:
Option 1: Professional Business Email
Examples:
Option 2: Free Email Address
Examples:
Both options work perfectly within Investment Dominator.
Company Mailing Address
This address serves as:
- Your return mailing address
- Your company address displayed on marketing materials
Recommended Options
Office Address
Use an existing office if available.
PO Box
A traditional PO Box works well.
Virtual Mailbox (Recommended)
Many users choose a virtual mailbox service such as Anytime Mailbox.
Benefits include:
- Professional business address
- Mail scanning services
- Email notifications when mail arrives
- No need to visit a physical mailbox
Company Time Zone
This time zone appears on your marketing materials and letters.
Choose the time zone where you expect to conduct most of your business.
For example:
- Eastern Time if targeting East Coast markets
- Pacific Time if operating on the West Coast
Step 3: Configure Your Buying Business
This section sets up your acquisition side of the business.
Buying Brand
Your Buying Brand is the name sellers will see.
Examples:
- Smith Buys Land
- ABC Land Investments
- Johnson Property Solutions
Choose a name that:
- Is easy to remember
- Clearly communicates what you do
- Looks professional on letters and websites
Buying Website Domain
Investment Dominator includes a buying website.
Examples:
- smithbuysland.com
- abcpropertybuyers.com
Registering a Domain

- Click Check Availability
- If available, click Register Domain
Investment Dominator will connect the domain to your website automatically.
Using an Existing Domain
If you already own a domain through providers such as:
- GoDaddy
- Namecheap
- Other registrars
You can connect it to your Investment Dominator website by updating your DNS records.
If you need assistance, submit a support ticket.
Offer Phone Number
This is your negotiation line.
Use the phone number dedicated to:
- Seller callbacks
- Offer discussions
- Negotiations
Because these conversations often involve discussing specific offers, this number should typically connect directly to you or a knowledgeable team member.
Offer Email Address
This email receives offer-related communication.
Many users simply use the same email address entered under Company Information.
Real Estate License Disclosure
If you are a licensed real estate agent or broker:
- Select Yes

- Modify the disclosure if required by your state or legal advisor
This disclosure will appear on your marketing materials where appropriate.
If you are not licensed, simply select No.
Step 4: Configure Your Selling Business
This section sets up the disposition side of your business.
Selling Brand
Your Selling Brand is how buyers identify your company.
Examples:

Choose a name that clearly communicates your role as a seller.
Selling Website Domain
Investment Dominator includes a separate website for selling properties.
Examples:
- smithsellsland.com

Keeping buying and selling websites separate is highly recommended.
Why Separate Websites?
Separate websites help:

- Separate buyers from sellers
- Avoid pricing confusion
- Improve marketing effectiveness
Sales Phone Number
Use your dedicated buyer inquiry line.
This number should be answered by:
- You

Example:
Keeping buying and selling communications separate helps maintain organization as your business grows.
