Understanding Quick Filters

Quick Filters are a powerful feature designed to help you quickly identify and target specific types of property leads based on ownership characteristics and equity positions. These pre-configured filters save you time by automatically categorizing properties that match common investor and real estate professional search criteria.

Available Quick Filter Categories

Absentee Owners

Properties where the homeowner does not reside at the property address. These owners may be more motivated to sell investment or secondary properties.

High Equity

Homeowners estimated to have 50% or more equity in their home. These owners have substantial financial flexibility and may be good candidates for various real estate opportunities.

Low Equity

Homeowners with less than 25% equity in their property. This filter can help identify potential short sale candidates or owners who may need to sell quickly.

Empty Nester

Properties that meet all of the following criteria:

  • Homeowner is over 60 years old
  • Property has at least 3 bedrooms
  • Estimated value is at the top end of the neighborhood
  • Owner has high equity (50%+)

Empty nesters often downsize after children leave home, making them excellent prospects for sellers.

Move Upper

Young homeowners living in smaller houses with enough equity to afford a larger home. These buyers are often looking to upgrade as their families grow or financial situations improve.

Free and Clear

Owners estimated to have more equity in the home than they initially paid. These properties are likely mortgage-free or have appreciated significantly, indicating highly motivated potential sellers with maximum flexibility.

Out of State Owners

A subset of Absentee Owners where the property tax bill is sent to a different state than where the property is located. These distant owners may be especially motivated to sell due to the challenges of managing remote properties.

How to Use Quick Filters

In Search Criteria

You can select Quick Filters directly within the Search Criteria section of the Neighborhood service. Simply check the filters that match your target audience to narrow your search results instantly.

Automatic Tagging

Properties that match Quick Filter criteria are automatically tagged in two places:

  • Neighborhood Listings: Tagged properties appear with their corresponding filter labels for easy identification
  • Data Services: Tags are applied to properties in your lists, allowing you to sort and segment your leads efficiently

Tips for Success

  • Combine filters: Use multiple Quick Filters together to create highly targeted lead lists
  • Focus your outreach: Tailor your marketing message based on the specific Quick Filter category
  • Monitor tagged properties: Keep an eye on newly tagged properties in your existing lists to discover fresh opportunities

Note: Quick Filter estimates are based on available public records and proprietary algorithms. While highly accurate, we recommend verifying specific details with property owners or through additional research.
