Why Sync Matters

Without automated sync, here's your typical workflow:

The Manual Process (Exhausting)

1. Get Zillow email alert (10 new properties)
2. Click each property link individually
3. Copy address, price, beds/baths, etc.
4. Paste into CRM or spreadsheet
5. Go back to Zillow, save photos manually
6. Add notes about the property
7. Repeat for all 10 properties
Total Time: 45-60 minutes per day

Automated Sync (Effortless)

1. Zillow sends alert
2. OnMarket CRM detects new properties automatically
3. All 10 properties imported with full details + photos
4. Properties appear in your CRM organized and ready
5. You review and call sellers immediately
Total Time: 5 minutes per day (just reviewing)

Sync Configuration Options

1. Sync Frequency

Choose how often to check for new Zillow alerts:

Real-Time (Recommended): Check every 5 minutes for instant imports
Standard: Check every 15 minutes
Hourly: Good if you get lots of alerts and want batches
Daily: One sync per day (morning)

2. Duplicate Handling

Prevent the same property from importing twice:

Smart Matching: Detects if property already exists by address
Update Mode: Updates existing record instead of creating duplicate
Skip Mode: Ignores properties already in your CRM
Merge Mode: Combines data from multiple sources

3. Selective Sync

Choose which Zillow searches to sync:

Sync all saved searches automatically
Sync only specific searches (choose which)
Exclude certain searches from sync
Pause/resume sync at any time

Advanced Sync Features

Two-Way Sync

Changes you make in OnMarket CRM (like notes, tags, status) stay in your CRM. When properties update on Zillow (price changes), those sync back automatically.

Automatic Enrichment

Beyond basic Zillow data, OnMarket CRM automatically adds: ROI calculations, cap rate estimates, rental income projections, and deal scoring.

Bulk Historical Import

First time connecting? Import all properties from your existing Zillow saved searches (past 90 days) in one batch to get started quickly.

Troubleshooting Sync Issues

Properties not syncing?

Check: (1) Zillow connection is active, (2) Saved search is selected for sync, (3) No duplicate filter blocking import, (4) Sync frequency setting.

Missing photos or data?

Some properties on Zillow have limited public data. The system imports everything available. You can manually add missing details if needed.

Duplicate properties appearing?

Enable smart matching in settings. The system will detect duplicates by address and update existing records instead of creating new ones.

Time Savings Calculation

Annual Time Savings from Sync

Manual Process:

• 10 properties per day × 4 min each = 40 min/day
• 40 min × 5 days/week = 200 min/week
• 200 min × 52 weeks = 10,400 minutes/year
= 173 hours per year wasted on data entry

Automated Sync:

• Review 10 properties: 5 min/day
• 5 min × 5 days/week = 25 min/week
• 25 min × 52 weeks = 1,300 minutes/year
= 22 hours per year (151 hours saved!)

Save 151 hours per year = 3+ weeks of full-time work
