Most clients feel strongly about a pool- they either want one or they don’t. Then there are those clients who wouldn’t mind having access to a pool, but don’t want all of the upkeep responsibility. Community pools are a perfect solution. And what’s the best way to search for that perfect property? We have two.
Flexmls has two searchable fields that help you find listings with a community pool: The General Property Description section (Community Pool). Or the more general Community Pool Features fields.
Searching by General Property Description
The first (and more accurate) method is to use the General Property Description, Community Pool Y/N, which is a required field when adding a listing.
Every listing agent must pick one of the two available options in both the Community Pool and Private Pool fields to add the listing to the MLS.
By adding the Community Pool field, you’re sure to find your client’s dream property with a community pool.
To add this field to your Quick Search, go to the Add a Field button and type in the word community. Under General Property Description, you will find Community Pool Y/N, click to add it. When the options populate on the right side of the screen, click Yes to search by that field.
Searching by Community Features
The second option is to search using the Community Pool Features field. Go to Add a Field, and add in Community Pool Features. Keep in mind that Community Pool Features isn’t a required field, so you might miss some listings using this method.
