A Comp Analysis is an essential tool for Real Estate Investors. 'Running' comps is a term used when trying to find properties with similar characteristics to your subject property based on location, square feet, bedrooms, bathrooms, etc to help you determine the value of your subject property. Below we will show you how you can easily generate a Comp Report for your properties.

Finding a Property
To access the comp engine, go to the Leadpipes > Property Leads from the left side menu.
To begin your comparable search you have two options:
A. Perform an individual property search by entering the address into the search field.
B. Perform a broad County, City, Zipcode search by entering the desired location in the search field.
Click the Search button
Option A will take you directly to the property details page for the lead. Click "Comparables" to the right of "Overview".
Option B will take you to the Leadpipes list view, which will allow you to refine your list further. When you find a specific property you would like to run comps on click on the specific property address and you will be directed to the Property overview page that will include additional details on the property.
Click "Comparables" to the right of "Overview".
You will be taken to the Comparables page for the subject property
Mapview
You will now see comps populate on the map within a mile radius of your subject property.
- The comps will populate white pins on the map and display the last recorded sold price.
- The subject property pin will be at the center of the mile circle radius.
- Clicking on the comparable pins or the subject property marker will open a window with additional details on the property.
- Clicking on the comparable property address in this view will open up the Leadpipe property details for the address in a new tab. You can then add this property to your leads if you would like to save it to view later.
- You are also able to click the box to the left of the comparable property address to add this property to your Comp Report.
