# Organize Your CRE Contacts with Tags and Filtered Lists

> Use tags to label and group your CRE contacts so you can quickly filter, find, and send targeted messages to the right people every time.

Tags let you group contacts any way that makes sense for your business. You create the labels, you apply them, and you can filter or message by them instantly. A well-tagged list saves hours of manual sorting every week.

## What Tags Are

A tag is a short label you attach to one or more contacts. Tags are free-form, so you can use anything that fits your workflow. Common examples:

* Seller
* Buyer
* Hot Lead
* Office
* Industrial
* Follow Up This Week

One contact can have as many tags as you need.
