Using the New Customizable Widgets

Updated yesterday

Discover our new customizable widgets to enhance your website with flexible features like Simple Search, Advanced Search, Your Listings with new display filters, Office Listings, and Home Value too!

Pro Tip: When embedding a RealScout widget, paste both code snippets from Steps 2 and 3 into your site builder. Even if it only prompts for a single code section. It's easy to overlook, but BOTH the script and HTML are required for the widget to function properly.

SIMPLE SEARCH

The simple search bar will include color customization options to match your website's theme.

Step 2: Add the Widget Code to Your Website

  1. Copy the search HTML code. Place this code in your head tag.
    Tip: The script tag is required only once, even when embedding multiple widgets.
