The ToJi Team heard you feedback loud and clear about Reports relating to Apartments, and has been hard at work to bring our Apartment related reports to a whole new level!

What is it?

Previously Apartments where designed to only consider the specific address when searching for comparable properties.  This worked well for areas of the city which had high turnover, or for larger complexes with enough comparables to justify this approach; however was not the ideal approach for all situations. 

Why?

By having the ability to chose the method which ToJi tools uses to determine the comparable properties, the Realtor now holds the control over the best fitting report for each situation.  This puts the control back in the hands of the experts and does not make the assumption that all situations are the same.

How?

On a Property Analysis and CMA Report, a new tab will now be available when the property type is Apartment:

Within this tab, you can utilize the Match Type drop down to pick the most suitable match type for the given scenario:

• Building Address: Building Address is the exact same as ToJi Tools is today; it will utilize the address entered when creating the report to select only Apartments which reside at that specific address.
• Complex Name: Complex name will utilize the name of the apartment or condo complex that is stored inside of Matrix to choose only the apartments or Condos which belong to that specific Complex, even if that complex contains multiple building addresses
• Advanced: Advanced is the new default match type and it will include properties which match the specific criteria that has been enabled.  This will allow the Realtor to pick and choose what is important to this specific listing at this specific time in the same fashion that the number of bedrooms and bathrooms are chosen

Property Search

Along with these changes we've also updated the property search page to enable the same type of search ability for Apartments.  The new options are found when the advanced search is enabled, and allow you to combine these criteria with any other existing criteria to find the very specific listing you're searching for.

What's Next?

Since we started ToJi Tools we've always had a keen ear for feedback, and as part of our next initiatives we will be continuing along with that trend.  With our next release of ToJi Tools we will be including a new set of functionality which we're not quite ready to announce yet, but we think the entire community will be very interested to see.

Stay Tuned and keep the great feedback coming!

The ToJi Team.
