Comparables

Run this “Comps” report to find other properties that are similar to the property you are viewing. This is helpful for your listing and pricing activities. For this report, you can even toggle between Map views of the comparable properties, finding the one that best presents the information you want to communicate in your report.Running this report is a two step process.

Step One: Review the Search Results Properties

Step Two: Refine the List

If your search returned a large number of comparable properties, you can work with the results right in the report to refine the comps you’ll generate on the final report. You can:

• Review and deselect any properties you don’t want to include OR
• You can click Modify Comparables Search Preferences to change the criteria that were used to run the initial report and regenerate new output (see next section for details on report preferences).
