Using CMA Search Criteria

To Search for Comparables for the CMA

  1. At Select the Statuses you want to include in your CMA, click to include Available, Sold, Leased and/or Expired. You must choose at least one status.
  2. At Enter Price Range enter the dollar values (no dollar signs or commas). These fields are optional.
  3. At Enter Date Range enter dates if you want the results to reflect a particular time frame. Leave the To box blank to include the current date. Entering a date range is optional.
  4. Select an Area, at least one Municipality, and one or more Communities if available. (Click to select one option, or CTRL+Click to select more than one.) NOTE: The system combines Communities for up to two Municipalities.
  5. Click Enter/Edit Additional Search Criteria if you want to further refine your search. TMLS displays additional search fields. Enter your search text (see Entering Search Criteria). It is not necessary to enter data for each field; specify only the fields that are key to defining the comparables.
  6. Click Prev to return to the CMA Search Criteria page.
  7. To add a particular listing to the matches determined by your other criteria, at MLS# enter the MLS# for the first listing you want to include. Then click Add To List. Repeat for all other listings. To remove a listing added in error, click on the MLS# in the list box, then click Remove From List.
  8. NOTE: DO NOT click Use Only These MLS#s In My CMA, this is used only when you are bypassing the search criteria and want to hand pick all CMA listings (see below).
  9. At Select Search Results Format, select a report format or accept the default.
  10. Click Submit.
  11. View the CMA Comparable listings found by your search and choose those you want to include in your presentation.

To Hand Pick the List of Comparables

If you want to hand pick all listings in your Comparables, without searching for listings:

  1. At the Search Criteria page, proceed to step 7 above.
  2. At MLS#, enter the MLS# for the first listing you want to include in your Comparables. Then click Add To List. Repeat for all listings you want to include. To remove a listing added in error, click on the MLS# in the list box, then click Remove From List.
  3. Click Use Only These MLS#s In My CMA. TMLS automatically displays the Edits and Adjustments page (See CMA Edits and Adjustments).
