7: Contacts & Properties

Learn about how to find and merge duplicate contacts and properties.

Written by Alexa Roeper

The Contacts and Properties pages in LeadSimple are the master databases for every contact and property in your account. Beyond simply storing records, these pages give you the tools to filter your data, export it, and clean it up by merging duplicates.


Contacts

Navigate to Contacts in the left sidebar to view every contact stored in your account.

What You'll See

The Contacts table displays:

  • First Name / Last Name

  • Company Name

  • Primary Phone

  • Primary Email

  • Tags – e.g., Unidentified Caller, Rentvine Sandbox Tenant, AppFolio Integration Test - Tenant

  • Created At – the date the contact record was added

The Total count at the top left shows how many contacts exist across your entire account (e.g., Total: 93,670).

Filtering Contacts

Click Add Filter to narrow the list down — for example, by tag, creation date, or other contact attributes — instead of scrolling through the full list.

Contacts Toolbar

Three icons sit in the top right of the Contacts page:

Icon

Name

What it does

New Contact

Manually create a new contact record.

(merge arrows)

Merge Duplicate Contacts

Opens the duplicate-merging tool, which scans for and lets you combine duplicate contact records.

(cloud download)

Export Contacts

Downloads your contact list (based on current filters) as an Excel file for use outside LeadSimple.


Properties

Navigate to Properties in the left sidebar to view every property in your account. This page has two tabs:

  • Properties – one row per property.

  • Units – one row per individual unit, useful for multi-unit properties (e.g., 10032 Hagenes Ville with many named units listed separately).

What You'll See (Properties tab)

  • Property Name

  • Address

  • Type (sortable)

  • Units – number of units on the property

  • Tags

  • Integration – shows if/how the property syncs with your property management software

  • Created At

What You'll See (Units tab)

  • Unit Number

  • Property Name

  • Property Type (e.g., Single-Family, Multi-Unit)

  • Integration

  • Created At

The Total count reflects how many properties or units currently match your filters (e.g., Total: 2,887 properties, Total: 44,763 units).

Filtering Properties

Click Add Filter to filter by criteria such as:

  • Integration

  • Status

  • Property Group(s)

  • In Relationship(s)

  • In Relationship Status

  • Tagged With Any / Tagged With All

  • Created At

  • Updated At

Properties Toolbar

The same three-icon pattern appears on the Properties page:

Icon

Name

What it does

New Property

Manually add a new property record.

(merge arrows)

Merge Duplicate Properties

Opens the duplicate-merging tool for properties.

(cloud download)

Export Properties

Downloads your property list (based on current filters) as an Excel file.


Merging Duplicates

Both pages share the same core purpose beyond record-keeping: cleaning up duplicate data. Clicking the merge icon on either page (Merge Duplicate Contacts or Merge Duplicate Properties) takes you to a dedicated tool where LeadSimple identifies likely duplicate records and lets you review and combine them — keeping your contact and property data accurate and consolidated.


Points to Remember

  • The Contacts and Properties pages in LeadSimple are databases of all the contacts and properties in your account.

  • The main tool on these pages is the duplicate merging tool — allowing you to find and merge any duplicate contacts, properties, or leads.

  • Use Add Filter to quickly narrow down large lists, and the Export icon to pull your data out of LeadSimple when needed.
