01 · Setup
First day setup
The Dashboard has six tiles — Properties, Contacts, Deals, Notes, Locations, Reminders — plus Search, Tools and the drawer.

Choose your currency
The app asks on first launch. Change it later via Drawer → Settings → Change Currency.
- B
Fill your profile
Drawer → Profile. Add your office name and phone — used when sharing properties or deals.
- C
Add a location
Dashboard → Locations → Add New Location. Pick country, province and city, then name the area, society or block.
- D
Add a contact
Dashboard → Contacts → Add New Contact. Pick from your phone contacts or type one in. Allow Contacts permission if Android asks.
- E
Add your first property
Dashboard → Properties → Add New Property. Pick contact, location, purpose, type and area, tap Next, then add photos and links and Save.
Dashboard tip
Tap the logo or menu icon to open the drawer. Use the back arrow on inner screens to return.
02 · Workflow
Daily workflow
Daily flow: save location and contact, add the property, search when a customer asks, create a deal once both sides agree, log every payment, set follow-up reminders, then run a Drive backup before the day ends.
03 · Listings
Properties & locations
Properties are your listings — one contact, one location, and a purpose: Sale, Purchase, Tenant or Rent Out.
Property tabs and status
- All, For Sale, For Purchase, Tenant and For Rent show available properties.
- Withdraw shows properties you've taken off the active list.
- Creating a deal marks the property Sold and hides it from available lists. Open it from its deal anytime.
What you can store on a property
- Purpose, type, area, unit, demand/price, notes and address details.
- Type-specific details such as dimensions, rooms, bedrooms, bathrooms, floors, shops, offices, halls, utilities and amenities.
- Up to 10 photos and up to 20 links. YouTube links are detected as videos; website links open in the browser.
- Owner name for sale properties.
Search and filters
Tap the Search icon on Dashboard or Properties. Filter by purpose, type, exact area/unit and location. Clear filters if something's missing.
Property detail actions
Open a property to call, message, share, set a reminder, create a deal, preview the PDF, edit, withdraw or delete.
Locations
Locations are reusable. Create them from the Locations tile, then pick them in the Property Form. Opening a location lists its available properties.
04 · People
Contacts
Contacts hold your network: name, number, address, company, notes, email, website and role flags.
Add or import a contact
- Open Contacts and tap Add New Contact.
- Pick from phone contacts or type one in.
- Open More details to mark Dealer or Investor, or add company, notes, email or website.
- Tap Save. The app checks for duplicate numbers.
Contact actions
Slide a row to reveal Call, SMS, Share and Alarm (starts a reminder). Tabs: All, Dealer, Investor.
05 · Money
Deals & payments
A deal links one property, seller, buyer, final price and agreement date. The seller is filled from the property.
Create a deal
- Deals → Add New Deal, or use Deal from a property.
- Tap Select property. The seller appears automatically.
- Tap Add buyer and pick the buyer.
- Enter Final sale price and agreement date, optionally mark documents transferred, add notes and commission, then Save.
Record payments
- Open the deal → Deal Payments tab, or tap Pay in Deal Details.
- Enter amount, optional note, date and time.
- Confirm. Paid and Remaining update immediately.
Payments can't exceed the remaining amount. At zero, the deal shows Deal Matured.
No money movement
Deal Payments are records only. Easy Property Dealer does not transfer, hold, escrow, send or receive money.
06 · Follow-up
Reminders & notes
Reminders
Attach a reminder to a Contact, Property or Deal. Pick a purpose — Call, Meeting, Site Visit or Other — and a future time. Upcoming and Expired live in separate tabs.
These are local Android notifications and need notification permission — some devices also need exact alarm or autostart.
Notes
Standalone notes for measurements, client updates or anything to find later. Notes → Add New Note. Searchable, editable, deletable.
07 · Safety
Backup & restore
Local-first: your data lives on the phone. Google Drive backup is optional but strongly recommended.
What Drive backup stores
The package contains your database — properties, contacts, locations, deals, payments, notes, reminders, profile. With Include photos on, media is bundled too.
Backups go to Google Drive's private app data storage — they don't show as normal Drive files. Currency and theme are local, so reset them on a new install.
Connect Drive and back up now
- Open Drawer → Backup.
- Tap Connect Drive.
- Pick your Google account and approve Drive access.
- When connected, tap Back Up Now.
Once connected you'll see account, last backup, package size, Drive storage, schedule options and history.
Automatic backups
Turn on Automatic backup for a daily run near your chosen time — Android may delay it for battery or network. Toggle Wi-Fi only or Charging only. Use Keep to set retention; pinned backups skip cleanup.
History actions
- Restore downloads the backup and replaces local data.
- Keep backup pins it against cleanup; Allow cleanup unpins it.
- Edit note adds a short note to a backup entry.
- Delete removes that backup from Drive permanently.
Restore on a new phone
- Install Easy Property Dealer on the new phone.
- Open Drawer → Backup.
- Connect the same Google account used for backup.
- Open the backup's menu and tap Restore.
Restore replaces local data
Restore overwrites your current database (and media if included). If this phone has newer changes, back up first.
08 · Tools
Tools, sharing & PDFs
Tools
Tap the calculator icon on the Dashboard to open Tools for quick calculations, area estimates and unit reference while working in the field:
- Basic Calculator — arithmetic with history.
- Area Calculator — quick shape-based area estimates.
- Advance Area Calculator — combine multiple shapes into a total estimate.
- Area Unit Reference — common property units such as Marla, Kanal, square feet and related units.
Sharing and PDFs
- Property and deal screens have a Share action — fill Drawer → Profile first so your office and phone go out with it.
- The printer icon opens Android's PDF preview — print, save or share from there.
- Deal PDFs are summaries; use the Deal Payments tab for full history.
09 · Preferences
Settings & cleanup
Open Drawer → Settings for theme, currency, extras, app settings, notification settings and app version.
- Change Theme — dark plus teal, indigo, pink, purple, orange, blue, green.
- Change Currency updates the symbol used for prices and payments.
- Extras links to the privacy policy, YouTube help, website and contact page.
- Storage Cleanup (in the drawer) lists image storage per property and frees space by deleting selected images — the property record stays.
10 · Privacy
Privacy & data
Your book lives on your device. We don't keep your records on our servers. Optional Drive backups go to your own Google Drive app data.
We use Google Drive, Sign-In, Play update checks and Firebase Analytics for usage events. Support emails sit in our inbox so we can reply. Full statement in the Privacy Policy.
11 · Fixes
Troubleshooting
The currency screen keeps appearing
Pick a currency on first launch. To change it later, use Settings → Change Currency.
I cannot save a contact
- Make sure name and mobile number are filled.
- Use a number not already saved in the app.
- If Android asks for Contacts permission, allow it via the prompt or Settings → App Settings on Phone, then save again.
The Property Form will not go to the second step
Step 1 needs contact, purpose, type, area and location. Fill them in, then tap Next.
Google Drive connect fails or never completes
- Check internet. If you use VPN, proxy or private DNS, try again without it.
- Update Google Play Services and confirm the account has Drive.
- Restart the app, open Backup and tap Connect Drive again.
- If errors persist, email support with a screenshot and app version.
I cannot see my backup on a new phone
Connect the exact same Google account and tap Refresh. Drive app data is per-account. Older database-only backups show as Legacy.
Automatic backup did not run at the exact time
Android controls background jobs, so timing is approximate — it can wait for network, battery or your Wi-Fi/charging rules. Use Back Up Now for immediate.
Reminder notifications are not firing
Allow notifications in Android Settings → Apps → Easy Property Dealer → Notifications. Also enable Exact alarm, battery exemptions or Autostart if your phone has them — Xiaomi/Redmi usually need Autostart.
A deal payment is rejected
Payments can't exceed the Remaining amount shown on the form. Enter that or less.
Share asks me to complete my profile
Drawer → Profile — fill office name and phone, then share again.
Photos are taking too much storage
Drawer → Storage Cleanup. Select properties, tap Clean Up. Back up first if you might need those photos later.
