How Property Filters Work

About

Property filters let you narrow down your property search by location, size, type, owner characteristics, and dozens of other criteria. You can combine multiple filters to build precise searches, save them for one-click access, and share them with your team. Filters appear in the left sidebar under SAVED FILTERS for quick reuse.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Open the Properties page

   Navigate to the Properties section from the main navigation. You’ll see the full property list with any active filters displayed above the results.

   

2. Click Edit Filter to open the Filters dialog

   Click the Edit Filter button in the toolbar to open the full filtering interface. The dialog shows filter categories on the left and your currently applied filters on the right.

   

3. Select a filter category

   Choose a category from the left sidebar to see available filter options. Property Basics includes location, size, type, and value filters. Other categories let you filter by ownership, MLS status, signals, and more.

   

4. Click the Location field to add a state filter

   In the Property Basics section, click the Location field to begin entering a location filter. You can search by city, state, county, or zip code.

   

5. Type a state name

   Begin typing a state name in the location field. Goliath will suggest matching states as you type.

   

6. Confirm the filter is applied

   Once you select a state, it appears in the Applied Filters panel on the right. The filter count at the top of the dialog updates to show how many filters are currently active.

   

7. Save the filter for reuse

   Click the Save Filter button in the top right of the Filters dialog. This opens the Save Filter dialog where you can name your filter and choose its visibility.

   

8. Choose a filter name and visibility

   Enter a descriptive name for your filter. Under Visibility, choose Private to me to create an individual filter that only you can see, or Shared with team to make it available to everyone on your team. Team filters appear in every team member’s sidebar.

   

9. Access your saved filter from the sidebar

   After saving, your filter appears under SAVED FILTERS in the left sidebar. Click the filter name to instantly apply all its criteria. Individual filters show with a lock icon, while team filters are accessible to everyone.

   

Pro Tips

• Use Quick Filters for common criteria like Single Family or Absentee Owner — they’re one-click shortcuts visible in the toolbar
• Combine multiple filters to build complex searches (e.g., “Single Family + Absentee Owner + Vacant”)
• Save team filters for your most frequently used search criteria so everyone can access them instantly
• The active filter count appears next to “Filters” in the dialog header so you always know how many criteria you’ve applied

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What’s the difference between Individual and Team filters?

Individual filters are private — only you can see and use them. Team filters are shared with every member of your team and appear in everyone’s SAVED FILTERS sidebar.

Q: Can I edit a saved filter after creating it?

Yes. Click the filter name in the sidebar to apply it, then click Edit Filter to modify the criteria. Click Save Filter again to update the saved filter with your changes.

Q: How do I remove an active filter?

Click the X icon next to the filter name in the toolbar, or open the Filters dialog and click the X next to the filter in the Applied Filters panel. You can also click Clear All to remove all filters at once.

Q: Why don’t I see results after applying a filter?

Some filter combinations may not match any properties in your current data set. Try using broader criteria or check that your filters are set to realistic ranges. Location filters (especially state-level filters) are most reliable in all environments.
