Choose the workflow for the asset you are buying
A delinquent-property lead and an auction certificate need different follow-through. Accrella is designed for the research and records around your certificate portfolio.
Start with the sale
Identify the county, certificate and official auction source. A delinquency record can inform research, but the current sale record determines what you can bid on.
Make the bid decision
Review the candidate’s source-backed diligence, work through unresolved questions and approve the strategy before preparing the county file.
Track the owned position
Keep acquisition documents with portfolio records so the research remains available when you revisit or report on the certificate.
02
Bring certificate work into Accrella
Focus the move on prospective or owned certificates, while keeping any owner-outreach history available in its existing tools.
Identify actual certificate records
Separate general delinquency leads from current sale candidates and purchased certificates. Preserve county IDs, parcel IDs and source references.
Build the watchlist or import
Research candidates in Accrella and add them to the watchlist. For owned liens, map supported fields and resolve the import preview before saving.
Keep the supporting work
Retain acquisition documents with the record and compare imported amounts and identifiers to the original file. Carry forward outreach records only through a supported, checked process.
