In this article we discuss how to locate and create new lists and the method for naming lists.
Lists can be created from the lists page, on upload, by adding lists from the Records page, or within an individual Record.
The Lists page, located on the left sidebar of your account shows a breakdown of each list. You can create list folders to help organize your lists, create new lists, edit, or delete lists from this page.
Creating Lists on the Lists Page
On the list page, you have two options for creating a new list: within the default folder or by creating a new folder.
Creating Lists in the default folder
To create a new list within the default folder, open the default folder and click on the Create List button. Give your list a descriptive name that reflects its purpose or qualifying criteria. Remember to keep your lists high level and well-organized for optimal efficiency.
Lists are fully customizable. You can create any list you like, however we recommend organizing lists by qualifying data, vexation or pain point, or by property type.
Work with vacant land, commercial properties, or multi-family? Create separate lists for these property types so you can easily include or exclude them when creating marketing campaigns.
Examples include:
Qualifying Data | Vexation or Pain Points | Property Type |
High Equity | Code Violations | Multi-Family |
Free & Clear | Tax Delinquent | Vacant Land |
Expired Listings | Pre-foreclosure | Commercial |
There is no need to separate lists by zip code, city, or county because you can filter by this information
Creating a New Folder and List
If you prefer a more structured approach, you can create a new folder by clicking on the Create Folder button. Provide a name for the folder that best represents the type of data, such as equity or vexation/pain points.
Once the folder is created, click on it and then click the Create List button to add a new list within the folder.
Creating Lists on Upload
New lists can be created on upload when selecting Add data -> Creating a new list not in REISift yet. The new list will be added to the default folder in your account once the upload processes.
You can add properties to multiple lists on upload by including a list column in the csv and mapping to the list field on upload. Separate list names with commas. When uploading, map the lists column to the Lists Field.

Stacked Records
Stacked records are properties that are located on two or more lists. We automatically stack records for you when you associate the same property with multiple lists.
Keeping lists high level gives you have more insight into how motivated an owner may be to sell. If a property is located on multiple lists, the owner is probably facing a few pain points and will be more motivated to sell the property.
