Paragon Connect has been updated with three great new features. You can now utilize the map search for Hotsheet, Tour, and Open House Searches. The thumbnail view for results has been updated to a customizable vertical card format. When looking at a listing in Paragon Connect an RPR Market Trends Report is a simple click away for all WVMLS Members.
Map search for Hotsheet, Tour, and Open House
Hotsheet, Tour, and Open House searches now include the same Search By Map experience available in listing search. Members can combine map-based searching with Area and other criteria, then save everything together for a more consistent and efficient workflow across recurring searches.
What is New
Search By Map appears first in criteria for Hotsheet, Tour, and Open House searches in Paragon Connect.
The map filter works with other active criteria.
For Tour and Open House, the boundary filters by the listing location for the property hosting the open house or tour stop.
Map boundaries and shapes save along with other standard criteria with Hotsheets and Tour or Open House searches
Why it matters
Market activity and weekend open houses rarely line up with a single Area code. Map boundaries let members follow a neighborhood, school zone, or caravan corridor without rebuilding criteria every morning.
How it works
Open Hotsheet Tour or Open House search: Start in Paragon Connect or Paragon with the search type you need.
Open Search By Map: Draw or refine a boundary with the same tools used in listing search.
Keep other criteria: Adjust Area and remaining filters as needed, then run the search.
Save and reopen: Save the search, then reload it later to confirm the map boundary returns with the rest of the criteria.
Vertical Thumbnail Cards with Customizable Fields
Property search thumbnail results now use a modern vertical card design that displays more listings on screen while giving members control over the listing details shown on each card.
What is New
Members can customize thumbnail cards by adding, removing, and reordering up to ten fields for each class.
Cards retain familiar actions such as Select and Open, along with key listing details beneath the photo.
Short labels and short field values are supported where available to maximize space and readability.
Why it matters
The new vertical card design makes it easier to review large result sets by displaying more listings at once without sacrificing clarity.
How it works
Run a property search: Open Paragon Connect, search a class, and switch to Thumbnail View.
Review the new card layout: Each listing displays the photo above the listing details in a vertical format.
Customize fields: Select Customize from the results app bar to open the thumbnail field layout editor. Add, remove, or reorder up to ten fields and choose short labels or values when available.
Save and review: Save your changes and confirm the selected fields appear on all thumbnail cards for that class.
RPR Market Trends integration on listing detail
Listing detail should surface local market context without a separate research trip. An RPR Market Trends report now appears as a container on ConnectView and Paragon Connect listing detail, just above Community Reports.
What is New
A Market Trends container displays on ConnectView.
Expanding the container loads the RPR Market Trends report.
Why it matters
Buyers and sellers ask for neighborhood direction in every conversation. Market Trends on the listing keeps price and inventory context next to the property, so members can answer with current charts instead of switching tools mid conversation.
How it works
Open a listing: Go to ConnectView.
Find Market Trends: Scroll to the Market Trends container above Community Reports.
Expand the report: Open the container to load the RPR Market Trends charts for that listing.
Note: Clicking "More Market Trends on RPR" in this integration will take you outside of Paragon to the RPR platform where you will need RPR credentials to access. While inside Paragon Connect all WVMLS Members have access to this report.
