Overview

Listing map search lets you pull up active MLS listings on an interactive map directly inside the Follow Up Boss mobile and web. You can:

  • Open a map of active listings in your area
  • Pan and zoom to the exact neighborhoods your buyer cares about
  • Tap a pin to preview key details and open the full listing detail page, where available
  • Share a property with a lead or contact from FUB via text, or copy the link, address, or MLS ID

All without switching to your MLS app or a browser on your phone, in supported markets.

Why it matters

Bouncing between Follow Up Boss and other tabs or apps slows down conversations and makes it harder to keep everything logged in one place. Map search keeps property search, client conversations, and follow up together in FUB so you can:

  • Quickly show what’s available around a specific neighborhood, school, or landmark
  • Stay in the same app you’re using for texts and calls with your buyer
  • Jump into full details (via the listing detail page) to qualify a home before you recommend it

Who can use it

Map search is exclusive to the Zillow Pro membership. It relies on MLS data, so availability depends on two things:

  • MLS availability: MLS licensing isn’t available in all markets yet. We’re working to license MLS data for more markets as quickly as possible. If listing search isn’t live in your MLS yet, map search won’t show listings, but you can add your name to the waitlist.
  • MLS Verification: You must verify your MLS membership in Follow Up Boss before we can show MLS listings on the map.

The filters work much like the ones in your MLS.

FAQ

  • Q: How do I get access to map search?
    • A: You need a Zillow Pro membership, and listing search must be available in your MLS. If you already use listing search in FUB, map search shows up as another view you can switch to on the Listings page. If you don’t have listing search yet, go to the Listings tab in FUB on desktop and complete MLS membership verification. Map search will appear once you’re verified.
  • Q: What mobile app version do I need?
    • A: Map search is available in the FUB mobile apps for iOS and Android starting with version 6.09.0700. If you don’t see the map toggle under Listings, update the app from the App Store or Google Play and try again.
  • Q: What if I don’t see any listings on the map?
    • A: Listing search may not be live in your MLS yet. If it isn’t, you can add your name to the waitlist. If your MLS is available and you’ve verified your MLS membership and still don’t see listings, contact Support.
  • Q: Do I need to set anything up first?
    • A: Yes. Two steps help you get the full experience where it’s available:
      • Complete MLS membership verification in your user settings in Follow Up Boss. This securely connects your MLS license and unlocks MLS‑powered features like listing search and property details.
      • Make sure you have a Zillow Pro membership. Contact Support if you’re not sure.
