User Guide
A practical guide to every tool on AuctionIntel — what it does and how to use it.
Finding listings
The main listings page is filterable by state, county, zip, price range, minimum equity score, and property type. Listings are sorted by opportunity score by default (highest first) so the most worth-a-look sales surface without you having to dig — but every filter combination is real, live, and yours to change.
Reading a listing card
Each card shows the opening bid, an estimated market value, the dollar gap between them, a 0–100 equity score, and — when the source's own legal notice mentions them — risk badges like "as-is" or "condemned" and occupancy status. Use these together: a big dollar gap with a high equity score and no risk flags is a very different situation than the same gap with "condemned" attached.
Digging into one listing
Expand a card to ask the AI assistant specific questions about that listing, pull real nearby comps (recent closed auctions in the same county, with real outcomes — not fabricated sale prices), and check neighborhood context like schools and crime data. All three are scoped to that one property, not generic answers.
Watchlist and your calendar
Watch a listing to track it and see its real outcome later (sold to an outside bidder, bought back by the lender, redeemed by the owner). From the Watchlist page, export a .ics file of your watched sale dates straight into Google, Apple, or Outlook calendar so you don't miss one.
Saved searches and alerts
Save a filter combination once and get emailed when new matching listings appear, instead of re-checking manually. Your plan sets how many alert emails go out per month — the search itself is unlimited to create.
Exporting your data
Pull your filtered results as a CSV any time from the listings page, up to your plan's monthly row limit. Useful for your own spreadsheet, CRM import, or offline review.
Market Stats
A county-by-county view of real outcomes across everything AuctionIntel has tracked — how many listings actually sold to an outside bidder versus got bought back by the lender or redeemed by the owner, plus average opening bids. Not gated by plan, since it's aggregate insight rather than individual listings.
Team seats (Agency plan)
Org owners can invite teammates by email from the Team page. Invited teammates get their own login and share your org's county coverage and data — useful for a small team working the same markets together.
Farming list (Agency plan)
A CSV of owner name, address, and sale date for upcoming sales in your covered counties, meant for outreach before the sale — a different use case than the investor-facing exports above. Solicitation of homeowners facing foreclosure is regulated in many states; that's on you to confirm before you send anything.
How to actually bid
AuctionIntel doesn't process bids or payments — these are real sheriff/trustee sales run by the county or court. Each listing links to the source's own official search page, plus real, cited sale-day procedures for that state (deposit requirements, payment deadlines, in-person vs. online).
