Pre-Defined Searches

Pre-Defined searches provide the framework for the most commonly-used searches, requiring minimal data entry. In addition to offering a variety of listing searches, this feature allows you to search your own personal listing history and your brokerage's history.

If you select certain pre-defined searches, you can include Archived Listings.

Click Preview to display the complete search criteria. Carefully review each search field and text. Modify any faulty criteria.

See General Search Tips for tips about entering search criteria, saved search criteria, and formatting the display of search results.
