Public Records: Using Prospecting
Finding
and developing new leads is critical to expanding a successful business. With
Prospecting, it is easy to find leads based on public property characteristics
and transfer or sales history. In just a few simple steps, you will be ready to
export a file or create mailing labels for a targeted list of leads.
Using Prospecting
Selecting Your Criteria
To
get started, click the prospecting tab at the top of the page.
Your first step is to select the
county(ies) in which you would like to prospect. You may select up to four
counties at one time. Select the box on the left to see a list of all available
counties. You may also begin typing a county name to refine the list. In
addition to the county list, you may search by Owner Name, Address or
Subdivision. If you have saved criteria from a previous search, simply click
this box and your saved searches will be available.
Note: Not all counties have data to support each available filter.
If one of the filters seen in the video is not on the filter list, then data
isn't available to prospect by that filter. For example, if Johnson County, IN doesn't have subdivision data, then Subdivision will not be available as a
filter. Search Filters
Using the Map
Updating Map Results

location parameters within the map, select the Undo button below the draw tools
to clear your selection.
Search results can be refined by
using any of the Search Filters. There are many filter options including MLS
Listing, Cash Buyers, Year Built, Ownership Duration, and Mortgage Age. Select
any of the filters to have your results list updated in real-time. Results can
be refined as much as you like. For example, if you would like to know if a
property lies within a flood zone, you may select Flood Zone as one of your
search criteria.
Within the Prospecting tool, there
is an option to refine your results by using the Map tool If you would like to
limit your search area within set boundaries on the map, use the “Draw” tool by
selecting the Polygon, Rectangle, Circle, or Freehand options. Once you have
selected your area, you will then need to select “Include Selection” or “Exclude
Selection”.
Additionally, if you need a larger
map view, you can collapse the filter and results bars by selecting the arrows
in the top left or right of the map. Simply click them again to bring back the
toolbar.
