Hi Susie,

The RMLS database is capable of capturing some of the information you're looking to search/filter on ... but your search results are dependent on two things:

1. whether or not the listing inputs the info (i.e. single level, daylight basement, etc.)
2. whether or not the IDX feed (stands for Internet Data Exchange) provides the searchable field your interested in filtering on via third party sites (not every database field in RMLS is searchable by the public through IDX-enable third party sites).

Sorry for the hyper-technical answer, but the MLS services are still playing a bit of catch up with what's possible. Alternatively, you can have an agent who has access to RMLS setup fairly refined searches for you based upon your specific criteria. Any agent will be able to tell you what's available as a searchable field and what's not. But remember, it's dependent upon if that specific field is defined in the database and more importantly, whether or not the listing agent input the data. - Sun Jul 12 2009, 17:28
