Paragon Connect

New Power Search Filter—Refine Your Results with Ease

The newly introduced All button in Power Search transforms how results are displayed, providing quick access to the most relevant listings while also enabling a broader property search when needed.

Now, refining those results is even easier! A new Filter lets you narrow down searches by specific statuses and classes, giving you complete control over what appears in your results. Plus, each status and class now displays a listing count, so you can instantly see how many matches are available before applying your filters.

Near Me Default Zoom

Paragon heard your feedback and improved the zoom level for the Near Me or Current Location search. The map now zooms in further, giving you a clearer, more accurate view of nearby listings, making it even easier to find properties in your area.

Paragon Connect and Collaboration Center Photos

Seamless Full Size Photo Navigation—Click, Scroll, and Loop with Ease

Listing photos are essential to buying and selling a home, and now navigating them is smoother than ever! The enhanced photo gallery lets you and your clients view full-size images with seamless navigation. No more opening and closing each photo individually—simply click or scroll through photos or effortlessly loop through the entire gallery. This update saves time and makes it easier to explore every detail.

Available in both Paragon Connect and Collaboration Center, as well as their mobile apps, this new functionality ensures a more intuitive browsing experience on any device.

Get a Closer Look with New Zoom Capabilities

Building on these improvements, zoom functionality has now been enhanced across all devices. While pinch-and-zoom was previously available on the mobile web browser version of Paragon Connect, it wasn’t yet part of the mobile app experience—until now!

The latest update enables pinch-and-zoom on both the mobile web and app versions, allowing you to explore every detail of a property with ease.

For those using laptops and desktops, the large photo gallery now supports zoom and pan functionality using a mouse or track pad, giving you even greater control over how you view listing images.

These enhancements ensure a seamless, powerful photo-viewing experience, no matter how or where you access your listings.

Easily Track Listing Photos with New Photo Count

To further improve navigation, the total number of listing photos is now displayed in the gallery. When viewing photos in full-size mode, the app bar will indicate your position—e.g., “Photo 7 of 9”—so you always know exactly where you are in the gallery.

Collaboration Center

Clearer Update Indicator

Home buyers receive key updates throughout their journey—new matches, price changes, open houses, status updates, and more. Since timing is crucial, tracking when these updates occurred just got easier. The update indicator now includes a clear label and Notified X days ago.

EasyCMA

EasyCMA has been updated with several new tools to help you generate quick detailed and accurate CMAs with minimal effort.

Enhanced Address Search for Improved Accuracy

Finding the right property is now easier with a streamlined address search experience. Instead of navigating to a separate page, address searches now open in a pop-up window, making the process more efficient.

New Time-Saving Features:

Pinpoint Accuracy – Instantly use your current location to populate the subject properties address. If you're at a seller’s home, simply tap the map pin icon, and the address will be automatically selected.
Address Not Found? No Problem! – If an address doesn’t appear in the search bar, you can now use the Can’t Find Address link. This gives you the option to either enter a Listing ID or manually enter the address details.

Improved Verify Map Location for Precision Placement

Accurate location placement is essential for CMAs, especially for areas with multiple addresses nearby. Paragon made the Verify Map Location tool even better by:

Expanding the map to full-screen mode, so you can clearly see and adjust the pin’s location.
Moving the Confirm button to the app bar for quicker access.
Adding helpful instructions in a new footer, guiding you through the verification process.

Simply drag and drop the pin to refine the location, confirm the placement, and you’re all set!

Subject Property Detail Layout and Address Display

The Subject Property Detail has been updated with several new features and improvements. First, we switched to a two-column layout instead of a single column, allowing more fields to be displayed on the screen and reducing unnecessary scrolling.

Edit Address Display

Additionally, we introduced a new section at the top that lets you control how the address information appears on your final CMA report. This adjustment does not affect the pin location of your subject property but allows you to customize the address display. For example, if Google returns the address as "1078 E Michigan Ave," you can modify it to show "1078 East Michigan Avenue" without abbreviations.

Manually Add a Subject Property with Full Control

While Google Maps excels at charting an ever-growing list of properties, there are times when certain locations just don’t make the cut—whether it’s a hidden gem in a less-travelled area or a brand-new community.

To ensure you never miss a beat, we’ve added a new feature that lets you manually enter subject properties with ease.

Here’s how it works:

Start a new CMA – Start by Clicking Add ()on the bottom right of the screen.
Enter the address – Start by inputting the property’s address details.
Pin it precisely – Place a map pin exactly where the property is located.
Complete the details – Fill in the required property fields, and your subject property is ready to go.

It’s fast, simple, and ensures you’re always one step ahead, no matter where the listing takes you.

Use Listing ID for Subject Property Creation

Speed up your EasyCMA creation process by using an Listing ID. Instead of manually searching for an address, simply enter the Listing ID, and EasyCMA will automatically populate the subject property's details, including the address, square footage, year built, and more. This feature eliminates the need for manual data entry, ensuring accuracy while saving time.

Create a CMA Directly from a Listing Cart

Need to pull listings quickly? You can now start or update an EastCMA report directly from a Listing Cart in Paragon Connect! This new option makes it easier to collect comparable properties without extra steps.

New Listing Cart Features:

Select listings from your cart and instantly add them to a CMA.
Eliminate extra steps by jumping straight from property selection to CMA generation.
Keep your workflow smooth and efficient while building high-quality market reports.

Generate a EasyCMA from Paragon Classic Listings

Paragon Classic users can also take advantage of EasyCMA's new features!

Now, you can:

Run a search in Paragon Classic
Select your listings directly from the results.
Generate a CMA instantly without switching between tools.
