How to Refine IntelliSearch Results with the Property Type Modal
Refine Searches Faster with Checkbox Filters for Property Types.
Table of Contents
Summary
The Property Type Modal in IntelliSearch allows you to filter property searches by selecting from a checklist of available property types. Instead of only typing in what you’re looking for, you can now click View All to open a modal with checkboxes, making it easier to refine your search with just a few clicks. This tool sits just above the Keyword Modal and provides a more flexible, user-friendly way to define search results.
Why This Feature Matters
Previously, users had to manually type property types into the search bar. Now, with the Property Type Modal, you can quickly browse all available options and select the ones that matter most. This helps reduce errors, speeds up the search process, and makes IntelliSearch more approachable for both agents and clients.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- From the property search page, select Property Type.
- Click View All to open the Property Type Modal.
- Browse through the available property types (e.g., Single Family, Condo, Townhome, Multi-Family).
- Select the checkboxes that match your client’s preferences.
- Once selections are made, click Save Filters.
- Results will automatically update to show only properties matching your chosen types.
Best Practices
- Combine with Keywords: Use the Property Type Modal alongside the Keyword Modal to refine results even further.
- Educate Clients: Walk buyers through the Property Type options so they understand the differences and can prioritize what fits them best.
- Save Time: Instead of guessing spelling or terminology, use the checklist to quickly apply accurate filters.
- Use Both Methods: Remember, you can still type in property types if that feels more natural.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
- No Results Found: Reduce the number of selected property types to broaden your search.
- Property Type Missing: The property type list is dependent on your MLS. If something is not appearing, double-check that your MLS has it listed.
- Clearing Filters: Use the Clear Form option in the modal to reset selections.
