Better Foreclosure MLS Searching

FranklyMLS.com is mainly keyword based. This has many benefits (speed) but sometimes it can be inaccurate.

Previously a search for: Vienna Foreclosure

would bring up all homes with BOTH the word Vienna and the word foreclosure anywhere in the remarks.

We then took steps to remove errors like remarks that posted "not a foreclosure" (those wouldn't show up).

About a year ago the MLS added some checkbox fields for foreclosures. But, initially the agents were not filling this in, so it was too unreliable to use.

Good news! Agents are now using that field properly!

So now a search for: Vienna Foreclosure
is much more accurate and will only look for
1) homes with the keyword: vienna
2) home where the agent checked off "foreclosure yes" (ie we don't look at keywords when you search for this word anymore)

Hope that makes sense.

Sent from my iPhone sorry for typoes.

Larger page option, for those with high resolutions

I got a request the other day to make a larger map option when searching.

Done.

So now above the map it says "bigger map." Click on that if you have a super high resolution or huge monitor. The map will triple in size. Also your preference will be cookie'd to your browser so you don't need to click it each time.

Let me know if you use this.

p.s Still working on map searching.
