When searching for residential listings, your client might have indicated if they want a property that has a pool or not. If you’re completing a search and you ignore the pool field, your results will contain some listings with pools and some without.
Private Pool: Yes
If your client does want a private pool. On the Default Quick Search, you will see an option for Private Pool Y/N. Select Y for Yes.
Next, in Private Pool Features, you can dial down to pools that are fenced, heated, etc. If you’re selecting more than one field in the pool section, change the or to and for all your selections. If you don’t, the system will search for pools that are fenced OR heated but not both.
Here’s where it gets a little tricky. If a listing agent uploads their listing and the pool is fenced and heated but the agent fails to check those items off, that listing will not appear in your search if you’ve selected fenced and heated.
Private Pool: No
Let’s say your client does not want a pool. On the default Quick Search, you will see an option for Private Pool Y/N. Select N for No, then you are done.
As a final note, when adding a listing, both the Community Pool and Private Pool fields are required. These required fields better clarify the presence of Private Pools and their features.
