Custom Listing & Building Groups
Now you can assign listings and buildings into custom groups. This is a great new feature for real estate agents that work in teams, as well as those who want to segregate their listings based on any criteria they like.
Some examples include:
- Each realtor wants their listings displayed on its own page
- Separate your commercial vs residential listings
- Create custom listing groups for different developments you’re marketing
- Showcase your favorite listings on the market
Each listing group is managed separately from the backend of your website.
On your public-facing site your visitors can see only what they’re interested in, not just a huge mixed list of all “active listings”
The same goes for buildings. Some examples could be:
- Buildings in a specific area or sub-area
- Buildings based on type (heritage, concrete, etc.)
- Buildings you have sold in
Here are step by step instructions on how to start using this incredibly powerful feature on your RealtyNinja website:

Ninja Tip – Creating A Hidden Page For A Specific Client
Lets say you just met with a client this morning and you know he’s looking for a house in North Vancouver with certain criteria.
You can make him a special page on your website (that only he knows about, since its not a part of your navigation menu) and add a personal note with all the listings that you have hand-selected for him.
All you have to do is hide the page from your navigation by clicking the little lightbulb icon next to it.
Then, you email him a link directly to the page.
Here’s a live example using the new custom listing groups.
Major Code Optimization
We’ve been hard at work going through all of our code and cleaning it all up.
