Creating A Custom Building Group
Definition: A Custom Building Group allows you to hand-pick certain buildings and group them together.
Examples of Custom Building Groups:
- Pre-Sale Developments
- Central Lonsdale Condo Buildings
- Lower Lonsdale Condo Buildings
NOTE: This page has separate instructions for agents using a Katana theme (our newest theme platform) and our older themes (such as Shinobi, Element, Classic, etc.).
Please choose which theme your website is using to view appropriate instructions:
- I'm using Katana!
- I'm using an older theme (such as Shinobi, Element, Classic, etc.) Note: We recommend that you upgrade your website to Katana for free.
By default, agents that signed up after December 2017 are all using a Katana theme. If you're not sure what theme your website is using you can always contact us at support@realtyninja.com.
Instructions for Katana theme users:
