3 Key Advantages of Using the Polygon Tool in Zamplo

When it comes to pulling property records, precision matters. The Polygon Tool in Zamplo gives you complete control over where your data comes from and how much of it you want to include. Here are three big reasons why land investors love using it:

1. Get Complete Control Over Record Volume

When filtering data on the Export Data page, it’s easy to end up with more records than you actually need. Some counties are massive, and even with tight filters, you can still be left with more records than your budget allows when preparing a mail or text campaign.

The Polygon Tool lets you get laser-focused by drawing a shape on the map around the exact area you want to target. Once your shape is drawn, a new box called ‘Shapes’ will appear on your map, where you can get a count of how many parcels fall within it. Even better, if you have a saved query, you can apply it to that same shape to see how many of those parcels actually match your criteria.

If the count isn’t quite right, simply adjust the size of your shape and check again. It’s a quick and flexible way to control your list size and make sure the volume of records you’re pulling stays manageable and on budget.

2. Keep Track of Where You’ve Already Worked

Another huge benefit is how easy it makes it to stay organized. One of the most common questions we get is, “How do I make sure I’m not mailing or texting the same property owners again?”

With the Polygon Tool, you can save each area you draw, name it, and reload it later. Think of it as a digital breadcrumb trail of where you’ve already worked. This makes it simple to keep track of your campaigns, stay systematic, and avoid duplicate outreach.

3. Target More Accurately Within a Market

Counties can be large and diverse, and property values often vary dramatically from one area to the next. A two-acre parcel might be worth twice as much just a few miles away. Using the Polygon Tool helps you focus on the specific areas that align with your investing goals.

Once you’ve defined your area and exported your data, you can use Zamplo’s Custom Pricing Tool to analyze comps that are most relevant to that exact location. That means your pricing and offer strategy will better reflect the true value of properties in that submarket.
