Creating A Custom Listing Group
Definition: A Custom Listing Group allows you to hand-pick certain listings and group them together.
Note: These are not listings that are automatically grouped together based on their MLS® criteria. If you're looking to automatically group listings together based on their MLS® criteria (such as area, bedrooms, price range, etc.) then you should create a "Niche MLS Search Page" instead.
Examples of Custom Listing Groups:
- My Favourite Listings
- Available Rentals (manually added only)
- Commercial Listings (manually added only)
- My Top Picks
- Listings Of The Week
- Dream Condos
- Listings For Andrew Smith
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.
