How to program Custom Searches

Custom design your home searches.

Hey, it’s Don, Zach, Ami and Georgia bringing you a REALLY cool way to use our new website to search for EXACTLY what you want. It was a little confusing for some of our clients, so we thought that an email featuring a step-by-step way to do save your own custom searches might help out a TON. So, are you ready?

How to program your custom searches on historicphoenix.com:

First, select "Advanced Search" from any of the search form boxes on any of our pages. You'll be taken to the next page for more choices.

Next, make your selections. Don't use the Neighborhood button yet, but select City, price, beds/baths, etc.. Then select "Map Search."

Now, zoom in on the area of town you'll be interested in, and you'll notice that the homes on the left will change as you zoom in on the map. When the area that you like is in view, select the Octagon shape at the top of the screen.

Now, begin drawing points on the map to narrow your search to the area you'd like to live in. Make sure that you completely connect all of the points on the map so that your final point is where you began. Then give it one final click. The area you've selected should be colored now as in the above photo.

Finally, Give your custom search a name so you'll recognize it later, and select how often you would like to be alerted when properties in your new neighborhood are listed! You can choose Daily, Weekly, Monthly, etc.. But Daily emails will give us the BEST chance of finding your home before someone else sees it and writes an offer!

We hope that helps! And as always, we're here to answer any questions you might have. So enjoy the day, enjoy house-hunting on historicphoenix.com and we'll talk soon!

Thank you!

TREND ALERT: CEMENT TILE

The geographic print trend is nothing to scoff at, but it is something to shuffle on. The new, hot way to express this trend is underfoot, with colorful, intricately patterned cement tiles that make a statement in any space.

“It seems only yesterday that the design world and blogosphere were prophesying the now ubiquitous reign of white subway tile,” said DÉCOR AID. “Over the course of the last several years, those shiny, 3×6 rectangles have popped up everywhere, from the backsplashes of trendy kitchens to the walls of chic hotel bathrooms. These days, however, designers and architects seem to have moved onto an altogether different form of surface covering.”

With origins in the Middle East and North African countries like Morocco, cement tiles bring interest to whatever surface they touch. “These tiles… are both contemporary and vintage and when mixed with modern cabinetry and details, can result in a truly showstopping look,” said Elements of Style.

Authentic cement tile can be pricey (this pack of 12, 8 x 8 Moroccan tiles is $103 on Overstock), but you can get the look for less at Home Depot with Merola Tile. These 7 3/4 x 7 3/4 ceramic tiles are just $1.97 each
