-
Select a Saved Link

This process ensures that the widget will be based on a saved link you’ve already set up, making it easy to display the desired properties in your widget.

- Default: The regular sorting order used by the system.
- Price Low To High
- Price High To Low
Select the number of properties to display in the widget. For example, you can input 9.

AgentOptional: Select an agent to assign the Saved Link to the widget. This opens a dropdown with agents you’ve previously created.
