Power Search Bar and Near Me searches

Quickly searching for properties is essential to every agent’s workflow. The Power Search Bar with the Near Me () search feature makes it easy. Located at the top of the Paragon Connect Dashboard, it provides a streamlined starting point for searching properties, agents, contacts, or listings.

In the Power Search, you can search by address, listing numbers, contact names, agent or office names, as well as phone numbers and email addresses. For listings, Power Search integrates Google Address search functionality for a more intuitive experience.

Your Seller Activity

The Seller Activity section provides an overview of the listing's performance, including how many buyers marked it as Favorite, Possible, Rejected, or had it recommended by their agent. You can:

• Assign a Contact to a listing. Tap the Add () button. Then select your client.
• View Listing Details

This provides your client with real-time access to listing statistics, and you can set up daily or weekly updates for both you and your client. Discover more here!
