Hey team! Justin here showing you how to transform your existing lists into AI-powered deal machines using Deal Sauce. Whether it’s driving-for-dollars finds, probate leads, or tax-delinquent properties—this is your step-by-step guide to upload, analyze, and activate them for maximum results.


Why Upload Your Lists to Deal Sauce?

AI-Powered Validation: Get instant Sellability Scores (wholesale/rental/retail) on your properties
Filter Like a Pro: Remove active listings, target high-equity owners, or focus on tax-delinquent homes
Never Lose Data: Store, organize, and re-market lists anytime
Skip the Spreadsheet Chaos: All leads live in one system


Step 1: Prepare & Upload Your List

  1. Format Your File:

    • Save as CSV (Excel/Google Sheets)

    • Required columns: Street Address, City, State, 5-Digit Zip Code (No homeowner names needed!)

  2. Upload in Seconds:

    • Go to Property Search → Click the Upload Icon (top-right)

    • Example: Justin’s 400-address test matched 380 properties instantly (20 may fail due to commercial/inconsistent formatting)


Step 2: Filter & Prioritize

  • Exclude Active Listings: Focus only on off-market opportunities

  • AI Distress Scores: Filter by Wholesale Score 600+ to find the most motivated sellers (Justin’s list revealed 12 ultra-distressed properties)

  • Equity Alerts: Isolate free-and-clear owners or tax-delinquent properties


Step 3: Export & Take Action

  • Skip Tracing: Add matches to your Lead Bucket → Download with owner contact info

  • Direct Mail/Cold Calling: Export your refined list for campaigns

  • Save & Reuse: Store filtered searches and toggle Deal Alerts for new distress signals


Justin’s Pro Tips
