The Advantages You Can't Ignore
The advantages you can't ignore.
Your market. A handful of operators.
DataSift has no concept of territory limits. Every user can pull the same lists. 8020REI caps each county at 2 to 5 operators, scaled by market size, so your scored leads stay inside that limited group.
Protected, not publicPredict who will sell before they know it.
Generic scoring ranks every property the same way for every user. BuyBox IQ learns from YOUR closed deals, scoring sellers on probability of selling before distress signals go public.
Days ahead, not behindBuilt for operators closing real volume.
DIY platforms leave you pulling lists, skip tracing, exporting CSVs monthly. 8020REI delivers curated, ready-to-use lists. No pulling, no filtering, no exporting.
Curated lists, not raw exportsFirst to the seller. Before anyone else.
The moment a qualifying distress event hits public records, a personalized letter is automatically triggered. You define criteria once, the system runs on autopilot.
Automated first-mover advantageA success manager in your corner.
Self-serve platforms leave you on your own. 8020REI assigns every client a dedicated CSM who knows your market, goals, and pipeline.

What the Acquisition Means
DataFlik Was Acquired by REISift in 2025 and Rebranded as DataSift
In 2025, REISift acquired DataFlik and merged the product into its CRM platform under the new name DataSift. This means DataFlik no longer exists as a standalone data provider. It is now a feature inside a CRM company.
For investors evaluating data providers, the implications are significant. REISift must now balance CRM development, customer support, and data quality across two product lines. Their engineering resources are split. Their roadmap serves two masters.
8020REI has one focus: delivering the most accurate, exclusive motivated seller data to operators who close deals at scale. No CRM to maintain. No merger to integrate. Just data.

client retention rate
Our clients stay because the data works. Exclusive territory, predictive scoring, and a dedicated success manager mean you get results other platforms can't match.
Why Operators Choose 8020REI
The differences that matter when you are closing 50+ deals/year.
Their AI Score Is Behind a $1,250/mo Paywall
DataSift’s AI Investor Score costs $1,250/month, and it is the same generic model for every subscriber. Your competitor in the same county sees the exact same ranked list. BuyBox IQ is trained on YOUR closed deals, YOUR criteria, YOUR market.
A CRM Company That Bought a Data Product
REISift is a CRM company that acquired DataFlik’s data product. Their focus is now split across CRM features, integrations, and data. Our entire company is obsessed with one thing: getting you the best data in your market.
Post-Merger Chaos, Zero Social Proof
Since the acquisition, DataSift’s blog has gone dormant. Zero reviews on G2, Capterra, or Trustpilot. Meanwhile, 8020REI maintains 97.6% client retention, 4.9/5 stars, and 32 video testimonials.
Exclusivity vs. Commodity
DataSift places no limits on how many users can access the same market. 8020REI limits clients per county so your data advantage stays yours. When everyone has the same list, nobody has an advantage.
