Interested parties – overview

Tab interested parties

The property search offers a modern and configurable list view of the results and an easier selection of further actions. In addition, the presentation of the details of the individual results is clearer and more informative.

Function and structure is almost the same as the tab Property search in Contacts. The main difference is the order and the search profiles. There are no search profiles in a property record. Nevertheless, you can see search profiles in a property record in the Property search tab – then, when an contact has been selected in the Property search results list. In this case, the search profiles of this contact record are displayed below. These can also be edited there.

Centrally you will find the list of results of the property search. Like the list view for properties and contacts, the list knows “list tabs” that you can add and customize. By default, the list tabs “Automatic assignment”, “Manual assignment” and “Previously offered” are available.

Click on the “Enter purchase price offer” hover icon next to each list entry to open a lightbox in which you can manually enter a purchase price offer for this interested party. Older, possibly existing purchase price offers are overwritten. When a purchase price offer is changed, an activity is written to the address and property concerned. The purchase price offers can be configured as a separate column “Purchase price offer (interested party)” for the list on the tabs Property search for addresses and Interested parties for properties. In the property feedback via the option “Activate purchase price offer” you can also directly request purchase price offers from your customers, e.g. after you have carried out an inspection.

You can use the configuration to define which status is displayed for each list tab, whether those already offered are hidden, etc. You can make further configurations for individual list tabs.

The list view can be additionally restricted across the board via a filter. For list riders that already use a filter in the configuration, only this filter is used.

The detail view can be displayed next to or below the list view  /  .

How does the property search work?

The property search compares all properties with the active search profiles stored in the current contact data record. A match value is calculated for each pair of search profile and existing property, which is then displayed as a % value in the list. The list shows the corresponding results according to the configuration and the filter. For example, to display only properties with a match of more than 80%, please open the list tab configuration (the “dropdown menu” for editing behind the menu triangle  on the right side of the list tab) and select the corresponding value at “Display via:” there.

Exclusion filter

You can use the exclusion filter in the automatic search to exclude contacts that should not be displayed. For example, archieved contacts can be excluded from the search.

Example:

Here, for example, one could list the following requirement, which can now be fulfilled with the help of the exclusion filter:

Request:
Show me all addresses among the listed interested parties who have not yet downloaded the brochure.

Procedure:
I build a filter “Action characteristic” = “First-time brochure download” and select this as an exclusion filter within the prospect list.

Result:
All interested parties who have already downloaded the brochure were filtered out of the results list. That leaves those interested who have not yet downloaded it.

Note:
The exclusion filter is particularly suitable for excluding contacts with certain activities from the results list in the interested party tab.

Property search update

With the default user setting “Automatically updatesearch results when entering the property search”, there is always an update of the search results when the property search tab is opened. An update can also be performed manually by clicking on the update icon  at the top right of the results list view – always only for the currently selected status. The date of the last update of the property search can be found on the bottom left of the results list view.
