How to Search the Marketplace - Updated!

We've added some search features to the Marketplace, to help you zero in on what you are looking for. 

You can still search through ALL the listings, but if you know exactly what you are looking for, or simply want to filter out some listings, here's how:

From the Marketplace Forum, click Add a Filter.

A box pops up and gives you two choices: 

Listings that are promoting...   OR   Listings that are searching for...

As you add filters, more refined choices appear. You can click the "Add Search Filter" button at any point to search for a more broad range, or continue to add filters to narrow the search results.

In the photo below, I chose to search for Listings that are promoting properties, residential, Triplex. Once I click "Add Search Filter" my results will filter out everything that isn't a listing offering residential triplexes. 

You can make the listings as narrow or as wide as you would like - stop filtering after the first column (Properties) to get a complete list of all properties being offered on the Marketplace. Stop filtering after the second column (Residential) to get a list of all residential properties being offered on the Marketplace, or choose an option in each column to make the search results as focused as possible.

I hope this makes searching the site easier. Let me know if you have any questions!

I glanced through this thread, but still have a Q.  Where is the search box for the Marketplace?  I seem to be challenged in optimizing BP web searches, so my apologies!

I am trying to help a Norcal fire survivor look for property or people contacts (who may know of property) for a project that he is trying to get off the ground to help others.  He's legit, been featured in the news for his rescue of 60+ elderly residents, has been on-the-ground helping other survivors non-stop during and since the fire.   Is there a way I can leverage BP to find him some useful resources or contacts relative to land/property search?

One of the earlier news features:  http://www.ktvn.com/story/39484340/paradise-man-sa...

Some key words:  Butte County, Chico, Paradise, Magalia, Corning

Thank you for any tips!!

@brandonturner  search by location seems to be difficult to use still.  Can you modify it to have a mileage range similar to other RE search tools?

Thanks,

Rick

I'm confused, i have saved a search with the location filter on CALIFORNIA and I am seeing no new listings for the past ten days. The newest post with that filter on is from ten days ago. For years, I have seen new listings posted every day or two, three days at the most. 

Has something changed with the search engine?


Or has nobody posted anything for sale in California in the past ten days?

Hello All

I just looked at the marketplace for the first time and was wondering?

Is there a fee for contacting one of the postings? Is this part of a Pro membership? 

Thanks

Rick

When I go to search marketplace for real estate it doesn't give me the option for that filter. It ends with performing notes, and everything listed above performing notes are services and things of such. Using Safari Web Browser.
