Using the search criteria page

All search types share common elements and enable you to define specific items that you are searching for. You can specify criteria in any number of fields, and then click the Search button on the MLS toolbar to start the search. Some items default based on your Agent Preferences for your convenience, but you can modify them when you perform a search if desired.

Property Type -- Select the property type(s) you want to search.

Property Subtypes -- If you selected only one property type, property subtypes display automatically (if any are set up for that property type). You can select one or more subtypes, or leave blank to include all.

Sale/Lease/Both -- If your MLS uses transaction types: You can select Lease to search for lease listings only; Sale for sale listings only; or Both to include either sale or lease listings.

General Criteria -- You can further narrow your search by entering more selection criteria. (Click  to read Help for an individual field.)

Additional Criteria -- To include amenities as search criteria click the Additional Criteria tab (the Additional Criteria tab is available when only one property type is selected).

Preview Count -- You can use the Preview Count link to see how many listings match your search criteria. If the count is acceptable, you can click the View Results link to go directly to your search results.

Toolbar Buttons -- When you finish entering criteria, click the Search button in the MLS toolbarto view your search results. Or, choose one of the following buttons:

Exports - Export all listings matching your criteria.

Statistics - Compile statistical information based on your criteria.

Map - View all listings matching your criteria on a map.

Save Options -- You can save your criteria to use it again. Locate the Save Options on the right side of the page (expand the Options pane if necessary). Enter a name for the search, then click Save. For more information click in the Save Options box, or see Save a search.
