Good to know

• Your history stays on this device. Search history and your last search come from this browser only. Another phone or computer shows its own.
• Some sections can hide. Local services shows only when your brokerage has recommended pros. Blog says "No articles yet." when there are no guides for your stage.
• Your agent sees your saved homes. The homes you heart help your agent learn what you like.
• A message may be waiting. A number on your agent's chat bubble means they've sent you something.

FAQ

What does New matches mean?

It counts the homes in Homes for you marked NEW in the past week. Click the card to open the whole search sorted newest first, so the new homes are at the top.

How do I change the homes in Homes for you?

Save a search with the area, price and home type you want. Your newest saved search fills Homes for you.

Are these mortgage rates what I'd pay?

No. They're national averages, shown for information. Ask a lender for your own rate, or find one under Mortgage in Local services.

My search history disappeared. Where did it go?

Search history is kept in each browser. If you switched phones or browsers, or cleared your browsing data, it starts fresh there.

Why is there no Local services section on my dashboard?

Your brokerage hasn't added recommended pros yet, so the section stays hidden.
