What is My HotList?
My HotList is the best way to save properties for future viewing, rating, requesting information on many properties at once, as well as sending info about them to family or friends via email.

What do the ratings mean?
My HotList gives you the ability to set a rating of Hot, Warm, or Cold for all properties in you’re my HotList. In this way you can quickly sort all of your My HotList properties.

Why should I rate a property as “cold”?
A cold property is moved off your HotList screen to a separate ColdList screen. This removes it from view while you are looking at My HotList. This is designed to assist you in limiting the number of listings you have to sort through. Some searches will return so many listings that the Cold List becomes a good way to filter them out.

What happened to the properties that I rate as cold?
They are immediately moved out of the HotList to the Cold list screen.

What happens to the properties that I save to My HotList?
They are saved in your MyHomeLook™ Account HotList for future viewing or Rating. When you Rate a property from the Details page for that property it is saved into your HotList as well.

How does the rating a property work?
Simply click on the Rate (Hot, Warm, or Cold) Thermometer.
