Merging Property Information

Use the External Data (Property Match) component in a property record to search our database for additional property data. This is useful for property records you create manually or via an external source other than Rethink Search, as it locates data from our database and merges it with your existing property record in Rethink.

If an address match is found, the address and property information will be displayed. Click Merge to begin the process of importing this data.

Property Debt and Tax Data

Use the External Data (Property Match) component in a property record to search our database for additional property data. If a match is found, click Get Financials to view property debt and tax record details.

If there is more than one debt available, click Create All to save all debt records to Rethink. Otherwise, individually choose which debt records to save by clicking Create Debt.

If financial information is not available, a message will appear indicating this.

Debt and tax records are saved in a related list in the property record called Financials. Your Rethink system administrator may need to add this related list component to your properties layouts.

This related list also allows the user to manually add or create debt records, if desired.
