3. Scroll to the Query Parameters section where you can set your preferred search criteria.

5. Check one desired Search Type from the following:

- City

- Zip Code

- Subdivision

- County

- Area


6. Select your desired Sale Type, if desired.

7. In the Primary Criteria field, type in your primary location(s) according to your Search Type. For example, if 'City' is checked type in the desired city/cities you wish to display in your search filter. If multiple locations are desired, separate each one with a comma.

8. If there is additional criteria you would like to add, use the Secondary Criteria fields available next. Some available fields include: min/max price range, min beds, min baths, property types, features, and views.

NOTE: If you would like to create a search filter to display a specific agents or offices listings use the Listing Office ID, Listing Agent ID, or Listing Agent or Co-Agent ID fields. If any of these fields are in use, other Secondary criteria cannot be selected.
