The Board Of Realtors Website Offers Some Great Tools For Searching Properties. However, it's not pretty and not that user friendly.
Here are some pointers to get you started with the default fields that are included with the local boards search tool. Also, remember that if you select additional criteria you can choose some other options, like searching by a specific school district. If you choose to add some additional criteria and then want to go back and modify some of your other information be sure so select the "Revise Criteria" button... or you will get a blank page and have to start from scratch!

Property Types:
Select "Residential" For a Basic Single Family Home Search

Regions - Zones:
If your not familiar with the Springfield area you might want to leave this blank.

Counties:
Select "Green County" To Search the Springfield Area or leave it blank and search by city.

Cities:
Select Springfield and/or other cities near by like Ozark, Nixa, and Republic.

Bedroom & Bathrooms:
From and Thru should read Minimum and Maximum, its easy to fill this out wrong.

Structure*:
I would leave this blank. If you fill this out you could be excluding a lot of properties that actually meet your criteria.

Price:
This is the best way to narrow or broaden your results. If your not getting the results you expect, try changing this first.

Year Built*:
I would leave this blank. If you fill this out you could be excluding a lot of properties that actually meet your criteria.

Subdivision:
As far as I know there is no complete list of subdivisions for Springfield, so this is for those of you who know the name already.

Listing numbers:
These are the 6 digit numbers advertised by agents in this area often called "MLS numbers" if you have this number from an advertisement you can put that in here and skip the rest!

Address:
If you know the address you can start here.

*The Rapattoni system used to exclude any properties that did not have the exact input for these fields- including ranges. If an agent put in the exact Year built or Square Footage on the listing forms for the board and you searched for that exact number you would get a result. In most cases agents list the property in a SQFT range or year built range and all of those properties will be excluded if you enter data in these fields. I'm still getting clarification on if this "problem" still exists.
