Conducting a Basic Search

Have a specific city, neighborhood, or even address in mind? Our basic search bar lets you find what you are looking for with ease. It can be found on the homepage and every community page and lets you explore homes for sale across the Dane County real estate market.

To search, just begin typing in the name of a city, neighborhood, address, zip code, or MLS listing number. Our autocomplete feature will make helpful suggestions based on what's already found in the MLS. Finish typing or select a query from the suggestions and then click "Start Search."


The search will take you to the main Search Page where you can refine the filters, select different sorting parameters, zoom in and out of the map, and click on the results to view each listing's details page.



Saving a Search

Want to receive updates when new properties matching your saved criteria appear on the market? 

Saving your search allows you to receive daily listings updates via your e-mail address.This will keep you informed about the latest properties available and ensure that you don't miss out.

Simply click on Save Search and select the frequency with which you would like to receive your updates.


 

Adding a Listing to your Favorites

Bookmarking or saving a listing is easy once you've found it. To save a listing for later viewing, just click the heart icon near each listing result (labeled "Save this Listing") or on each listing's details page. You must be registered for this feature to work.
