Send Listings
You can email your customer a link to particular listings with the site action Send. Send is available at List, View, and Map. The Send action causes the system to email links to listings, allowing recipients to view each one with an optional map. For Available listings at View, you can also include attachments.
The emailed link remains active for a period determined by the MLS. Format the message as you like, using the formatting toolbar. See "Formatting Email".
