This project automates the entire flow of downloading, cleaning, validating, and merging property datasets from multiple sources. It removes the repetitive grind of cross-checking spreadsheets and keeps real estate data tidy and ready for decision-making. It’s built for teams that rely on accurate property data every single day.
Created by Bitbash, built to showcase our approach to Scraping and Automation!

The workflow revolves around fetching property lists from sources like PropStream and Batch, cleaning them, and merging them into a master dataset. Doing all that manually takes time — and mistakes happen. This worker automates the data handling steps so teams can focus on analysis, not admin.
- Large property lists get messy fast without strict structure.
- Manual deduplication slows down acquisitions and marketing.
- Data inconsistencies hurt targeting and deal evaluation.
- Automated workflows help teams scale outreach with confidence.
- Clean datasets directly improve conversion, follow-up, and forecasting.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Automated Data Import | Pulls property datasets from PropStream, Batch, or uploaded CSV files. |
| Master List Sync | Merges new data into a centralized master list with strict schema enforcement. |
| Duplicate Detection | Flags and removes records that already exist in the dataset. |
| Field Normalization | Standardizes fields like owner info, status, address formatting, and marketing attributes. |
| Validation Rules | Ensures required fields exist before any merge. |
| Error Logging | Captures failures with detailed logs for debugging. |
| Configurable Pipelines | Lets teams adjust rules for cleaning and merging. |
| Cross-Source Reconciliation | Compares incoming data against existing records for accuracy checks. |
| Reporting Outputs | Generates summaries of imported counts, duplicates, and corrections. |
| Batch Processing | Handles large spreadsheet uploads without slowing down operations. |
| Historical Snapshots | Saves previous versions for audit and rollback. |
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| Input or Trigger | Starts when a new dataset is dropped into the import folder or pulled via scheduled fetch. |
| Core Logic | Normalizes fields, validates structure, deduplicates, and merges into the master list using defined rules. |
| Output or Action | Produces updated master lists, cleaned datasets, and summary reports. |
| Other Functionalities | Implements retry logic, handles malformed rows, and logs all actions. |
| Safety Controls | Applies schema checks, avoids overwriting critical fields, and safeguards historical data. |

- Analysts use it to clean property lists quickly, so they can spend more time evaluating deals.
- Acquisition teams rely on it to merge new data drops without worrying about duplicates.
- Marketing coordinators use it to maintain accurate outreach lists for campaigns.
- Data managers use it to enforce consistency across thousands of property records.
Does it support multiple spreadsheet formats? Yes — it handles CSV, XLSX, and Google Sheets through the API.
What happens if the dataset contains missing fields? The validator checks required fields and flags any problematic rows before merging.
Can the cleaning rules be customized? All normalization and validation rules are defined in the configuration files and can be tailored.
Is historical data preserved? Previous master lists and processed files are saved for version tracking and rollback.
Execution Speed: Processes roughly 20k property rows per minute depending on column complexity.
Success Rate: Averages 93–94% successful processing across large batches with retries.
Scalability: Handles anywhere from small daily imports to 200k+ record merges in a single batch.
Resource Efficiency: Uses approximately 300–450MB RAM per worker with moderate CPU usage during transformations.
Error Handling: Automatic retries for file issues, structured logging, backoff for external API calls, and clear recovery output for partial failures.
