Searching for Property Data
To search for property data, go to Rethink Search and type the property address in the Address Search box.

When creating a new contact record, the following fields will be saved to Rethink:

Creating Comps from Transaction Data
Transaction data from a property search can now be converted into Sales Comp records. When viewing expanded property data, under Transactions, click 'Create Comp' to automatically create a comp from the transaction data.
For a transaction record to be eligible for comp creation, it must have a sale date and sale price. The below table explains how the fields are populated from the derived transaction data.

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 yourexisting 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 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 Debt to view property debt 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 debt information is not available, a message will appear indicating this.
Debt records are saved in a related list in the property record called Property Debts. 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.
