Is there an annual license fee?
No! The software license provides for unlimited, royalty free distribution by any method that works for you. "Royalty free" means that the initial license fee is your only cost for the software. There are no annual fees and no royalty fees based upon the quantity distributed! The more copies you distribute the less each copy effectively costs you!

How will you know what I want it to look like?
Most branded software is based upon a real estate agent's own graphics. The initial proof version is typically designed with an eye toward incorporating graphics to reflect your own graphic style around the foundation of the loan calculator.

How do I give feedback about my calculator during development?
While your branded loan calculator is being developed, you will be consulted regarding design issues as they arise. In fact, the entire development process is a continuous conversation.
The development process begins with the creation of an initial proof version which will be delivered to you as an email attachment or offered as a download from our server. You'll be asked to spend some time with the proof and decide how it might be modified to better fit your firm's idea of what you want. Once you have formulated your feedback, you will send it and the requested changes will be implemented if possible. Then another proof will be sent incorporating the feedback. This proof-review-proof-review process may continue until the application is as you wish it to be for distribution.

How may I distribute my calculator?
Real estate agents and brokers distribute their branded calculators as downloads from their web sites. Many also distribute their calculators on CD-ROMs. They have been distributed in books, as email attachments, by direct mail, from teller's desks in banks, at open houses ... well, you get the idea.
Because this software is designed to promote you and your business, we encourage you to distribute it to as many current and potential home buyers as possible ... any way you can!

Can I install my branded calculator on my web site?
Yes, if by "install" you mean to offer it as a download. However, the RECalcs software is Windows®-based software and is not designed to be run from a web server. If you wish to install calculators on your web site for your visitors to use online, we invite you to check out our line of MoneyToys™ financial calculators.
