If you haven’t spent a lot of time browsing our site, you may not know about some of the advanced home search features at your fingertips. Here are a few that might help you home in on the right property for your clients more quickly and accurately.
Basic home search filters
When searching for a new home on RichmondAmerican.com, you can start by narrowing down communities in your area. To do so, click on ‘Search new homes’ at the top left of our homepage, select your region and then choose your client’s minimum must-have home features. These include the number of floors, bedrooms, bathrooms and garage bays your buyer is seeking.
Community, floor plan and active listings filters
After selecting your client’s minimum requirements, you’ll be able to continue your search for communities, floor plans and/or active listings that meet their needs.
Community search
To search by community, click on the ‘Communities’ button on the basic home search results menu. This will take you to a page with communities in your preferred region. To narrow your search even further, click on the ‘Filter results’ button at the top left of the community landing page.
The community search provides many parameters for fine tuning your client’s house hunt. Here, you can choose their minimum and maximum price and square footage, as well as the community status (e.g., opening soon), must-have touring options (e.g., model open for tours), and even your client’s preferred school district!
You may find the community features filter particularly useful as it allows you to search for neighborhoods with sought-after amenities, such as a clubhouse, pool, fitness center, dog park and more. The ‘Near military base’ filter is a must for agents assisting buyers in the armed forces!
Floor plan search
Comparing different floor plans is another great starting point for your client’s house hunt. To search by floor plan, click on the ‘Floor plans’ button on the basic home search results menu. This will take you to a page with the floor plans offered in your area. To further fine-tune your search, click on the ‘Filter results’ button at the top left of the floor plan landing page.
The floor plan search provides several parameters for homing in on your client’s dream home. Are they seeking a ranch or two-story floor plan? How many bedrooms and bathrooms do they have in mind? In addition to these specifications, you can choose their minimum and maximum price and square footage, must-have touring options and preferred home collections and offerings (e.g., Seasons™ Collection, UltraGarage®).
Active listings search
We’re proud to offer an impressive array of quick move-in homes at communities across the country—perfect for clients on a tight timeline (and agents looking to cash in on quick commission)! To search for active listings near you, click on the ‘Active listings’ button on the basic home search results menu. This will take you to a page with under-construction and completed homes in your region. To find the ones that best match your client’s wish list, click on the ‘Filter results’ button at the top left of the active listings landing page.
The active listings search allows you to choose some additional criteria that meet your client’s new home requirements. Here, you’ll select their minimum and maximum price and square footage, plus home availability (e.g., available now) and desired home features (e.g., home with Modern Living™ suite and/or UltraGarage®).
Pssst. Here’s another shortcut for finding home listings in your area!
