Before you start

Data, sources, and access to prepare

  • A canonical contact
  • Confirmed acquisition or occupancy criteria
  • At least one eligible completed property for match results

Choose purchase or lease criteria

CRM Leads workspace used to define requirements and evaluate property matches.
Record a purchase or lease requirement with usable criteria, then review matches without widening the user's data access.
Choose purchase or lease criteria
RequirementFields that drive fit
PurchaseLabel, property types, markets, SF range, price range, minimum cap rate
LeaseProperty types, markets, SF range, rent range per SF/year, NNN/FS/MG, term range, target occupancy, minimum TI, must-haves

A contact can have both

A person can hold purchase and lease requirements at the same time. Only active requirements drive the interested-property filter and fit results.

Create and maintain the criteria

  1. 1

    Open a new requirement

    Contact workspace > Requirements

    Select Add.

    Expected result: The relevant acquisition or space requirement editor opens.

    If this does not happen: If Add is absent, confirm that you opened an editable contact rather than a read-only shared record.

  2. 2

    Choose the requirement type

    Requirements editor > Purchase or Lease

    Select Purchase or Lease for the represented need.

    Expected result: The editor shows price and cap-rate fields for Purchase or rent, term, and tenant-improvement fields for Lease.

    If this does not happen: If the person has both needs, save one requirement and select Add again for the other instead of combining incompatible ranges.

  3. 3

    Enter confirmed criteria

    Requirement editor

    Enter property types, markets, bounded ranges, economics, timing, and must-haves that the contact actually stated.

    Expected result: The requirement summarizes the current mandate without fabricated precision.

    If this does not happen: Leave unknown values blank. Use a note for nuance that cannot be represented structurally.

  4. 4

    Save the requirement

    Requirement editor > Save

    Select Save.

    Expected result: The active requirement is available to the matcher.

    If this does not happen: Correct any validation message before retrying.

  5. 5

    Inspect requirement matches

    Contact workspace > Fit

    Review the displayed property or suite reasons.

    Expected result: Eligible matches show fit context tied to the active criteria.

    If this does not happen: If nothing matches, broaden only criteria the contact confirms. Verify eligible completed inventory.

  6. 6

    Choose the requirement maintenance action

    Contact > Requirements

    Select Pause, Edit, or Delete for the requirement based on its verified state.

    Expected result: Only active requirements affect future matching and interested-property filters.

    If this does not happen: If historical context matters, use Pause and preserve the context in a note instead of deleting.

Use matching in both directions

One matcher, two useful starting points

Contact fit finds properties for one person. Property Hub and Email Blasts can find people whose active requirements fit one listing.

  1. 1

    Inspect contact-side matches

    Contact workspace > Fit or Send properties

    Review matched property and suite reasons.

    Expected result: Each result shows why it fits the active requirement.

    If this does not happen: If a score appears wrong, compare units, ranges, property type, market text, and active state.

  2. 2

    Select relevant properties

    Contact workspace > Fit or Send properties

    Select only relevant completed documents.

    Expected result: Selected properties reflect the active requirement and your business judgment.

    If this does not happen: Remove a result whose current facts do not support outreach.

  3. 3

    Request property-side matches

    Property Hub or Email Blast composer > matched audience

    Request people who fit the selected listing.

    Expected result: A candidate audience appears without sending anything.

    If this does not happen: If the request fails or returns empty, retry once after confirming one eligible property.

  4. 4

    Review the candidate audience

    Matched audience > sample and count

    Inspect the sample and count before insertion.

    Expected result: The candidate audience matches current active requirements and role scope.

    If this does not happen: Remove uncertainty by reviewing contact requirements before inserting the audience.

  5. 5

    Apply permission checks

    Before any outreach

    Confirm first-party relationship and appropriate permission for each contact or audience source.

    Expected result: Only a reviewed, permitted audience advances to messaging.

    If this does not happen: Remove uncertain contacts. Fit is relevance, not consent.

Resolve surprising match results

A plausible property does not match

Likely cause: Property type, market, range, transaction type, or suite availability may conflict with the active requirement.

  1. Read the requirement and property values side by side.
  2. Check whether the requirement is paused.
  3. Check suite-level Space Available for lease matching.
  4. Correct factual values rather than widening blindly.
Too many weak matches appear

Likely cause: Important ranges or market/property-type constraints are blank or broad.

  1. Confirm missing criteria with the contact.
  2. Add bounded values where known.
  3. Use the displayed reasons for a human relevance review.
The CRM picker excludes a matched person

Likely cause: Mail suppression, role scope, or trusted-source rules are separate from fit.

  1. Do not override a suppression.
  2. Confirm the person is permitted in your CRM scope.
  3. Use another compliant contact method when appropriate.

Final verification

  • Contact workspace > Fit or Send properties: Selected properties reflect the active requirement and your business judgment.
  • Property Hub or Email Blast composer > matched audience: A candidate audience appears without sending anything.
  • Matched audience > sample and count: The candidate audience matches current active requirements and role scope.
  • Before any outreach: Only a reviewed, permitted audience advances to messaging.
  • No blocking warning, failed status, or unresolved validation message remains in the completed workflow.
