Comparison
FirstPass Memo vs human quick deal reviews (Centurica, FlipAudit, WebAcquisition)
Short answer: A human quick review costs $199 to $390 per listing and gives you an expert's opinion: a 15-minute call at Centurica ($199), short-form written advice at FlipAudit ($200, credited toward a full report) or an emailed review at WebAcquisition ($390, or $330 each for five). FirstPass is automated and works from the listing alone: a free checker, then a memo (free in the beta, $99 after). Use FirstPass to cut a shortlist to one or two listings, then pay a person to look at those.
What do the quick reviews cost, and what do you get?
- Centurica Quick Deal Review, $199. A 15-minute live call with an advisor, booked after you order and answer a few questions; Centurica says it can often spot red flags "with only a url to work with".1
- FlipAudit Quick Review, $200. You submit documents and answer key questions and receive short-form advice on red flags. The fee is credited if you convert to a full report (Red Flag Report $950, Standard $1,750, Deep Dive $2,250).2
- WebAcquisition Pre-LOI Quick Deal Review, $390 for one deal by email, or a 5-deal package at $330 per deal.3

Which should you use?
- Screen five listings for less than one review. Five quick reviews cost $995–$1,950. The FirstPass checker costs nothing, and you can run every listing on your shortlist.
- Pay a person when judgment matters. A human reviewer can spot things no rule covers and answer your questions live. FirstPass cannot.
- Neither is verification. Quick reviews and FirstPass both come before full due diligence, which checks the seller's accounts and documents.
How can you try FirstPass for free?
