Guide to MLS Query Tools
TerraFly’s point data page
contains a category called Realtor Professional Interface. The tools in this
section allow one to query nearby properties.
One can query the nearby properties by the type
such as single-family homes or condo/townhouses. Within each type, one can
select criteria by the number of bedrooms or the list price. These queries are
executed by clicking on the respective criteria. For example, if one wants to
find the single-family homes with 3 bedrooms, one would click on the “3
bedrooms” link under “Single
Family Homes (RE1) Query:”

When one executes a query, the GeoQuery page opens up with the list of properties. The
first section of the page allows one to modify the results with more detailed
criteria such as a keyword or status of the property. The map illustrates where
the listed properties are located. The
details of the listings are displayed along with a picture (if available). Next to the map, “Current Format” displays the
format used in this page view. You may also select one of the other formats to
change the view for the listings.
