to find the home of their dreams.
What is PropertyFit Score?
Based on your PropertyFit preferences configured in your profile, OneHome calculates the
PropertyFit score for each active listing, a percentage value that informs you how well a property
matches your current preferences. You can use the PropertyFit Score displayed on each property
card to quickly identify which properties view best suit your needs.
Security and Privacy FAQs

Yes, your privacy and information are always protected. See CoreLogic’s Privacy Policy at
http://www.corelogic.com/privacy.aspx
Will my information be saved when I sign out?
You need to manually save changes you make to your information, preferences, or search criteria so
the system remembers them. Unsaved information will be lost if the session expires or you sign out.
How do OneHome notifications help?
In a market where properties get listed and sold fast, notifications keep you informed so you can
make timely decisions. There are 3 notification types in OneHome.
Listing Sets Emails: These are prepared by your agent and delivered by OneHome to your inbox. A
“listing set” includes one or more properties in OneHome that your agent personally selected for
your review. They are delivered to your inbox, and you’ll find them under your listing set until the
property included in this list changes its status (or it disappears from the market.)
Agent Saved Searches (“Auto Emails”): These are set up and controlled by your agent, and listings
matching the selected criteria are auto delivered to your inbox based on the frequency chosen by
your agent. They contain a link to OneHome where matching listings are ready for your review.
Agent Saved Searches (“Auto Emails”): Auto Emails are set up by your real estate agent and sent by
the OneHome system based on the various criteria (such as email frequency) your real estate agent
8
has specified. These emails contain a link to OneHome where matching listings are available for your
review. Auto emails will continue to be sent to you until you ask your real estate agent to stop them
or until you unsubscribe from the service yourself by following the unsubscribe link (located at the
bottom of the auto email).
Public Record Data: Your Agent can select properties matching specific criteria based on public
records data (un-listed, coming from a different data source). Currently available in the US only.

How do I unsubscribe from OneHome notifications?
To unsubscribe, simply select the unsubscribe link that appears in the footer of every OneHome
email. Youll be taken to a page where you can opt out of such emails.

Working with Your Agent
Where can I find my agent’s information?
In OneHome, the Agent Profile Card shows your agent’s information. To see the card while you’re searching or
viewing properties in the app, select the Agent icon at the bottom-right of the screen.
How do I collaborate with my agent in OneHome?
OneHome makes it easy for you and your agent to work together from within the app. Some
examples:
Right from the listing pages, inform your agent about the properties that interest you or not
by “Favoriting” them, or marking them as "Not for Me".
Use the “Add a Note” feature to drop your agent a note about a property you’d like to tour.
You can also use this feature to request your agent to modify the listing sets they curate and
email you.
Review the listings that your agent curated for you and the results of the Agent’s Saved
Searches created on your behalf. Let your agent know if any tuning is required.

Can I receive SMS notifications?

with your agent. SMS notifications instantly inform you whenever your agent posts new or updated
listings in OneHome.
Using the OneHome Planner

steps you’ll typically take as you work with your agent, along with tips and insights. Currently, the
Planner is available in the US only.

Searching for Properties
What’s an Agent-Saved Search?
To help you find your property, your agent may define a OneHome search that delivers an automated
email to your inbox. The email contains curated listings matched to your search criteria, which you
can also view in OneHome. If you want any changes to the way these emails are sent (such as mailing
frequency), speak to your agent.
To view an agent-saved search, select the specific link under the “Your Agent’s Saved Searches”
section of the Browse/Search Dropdown available on the main page.
Any auto emails you receive associated with Saved Searches allow you to access both highlighted
new/changed listings as well as the full set of matching listings in OneHome.
12
What is a Listing Set?
A listing set is a static set of available properties that match
specific search criteria, curated by your agent. You can have
multiple listing sets to widen your options. For example, you can
define one listing set for properties in the downtown area, and
another listing set for properties in the suburbs.
How do I search homes for sale in OneHome?
There are 2 easy ways to do this:

and/or

You can set up multiple custom searches for specific and different scenarios
You can’t edit a search your agent has created
14
How do I edit a saved search?
You can’t edit a search your agent has created. Reach out to your agent to make any necessary
adjustments to the search criteria if your property needs have changed.
While your own saved searches cannot be edited at this time, you can always delete and re-create
your saved searches or create new searches as needed.
You can review the search criteria used by a saved search by selecting the “Search Criteria” link.
How do I delete a saved search?
You can’t delete a search your agent has created. Reach out to your agent to make any necessary
adjustments to agent saved searches.
To delete your own saved search simply select the “X” button at the right of the search name in the
search drop-down.
What are “points of interest” on the map?
When you’re buying or renting, OneHome shows you a map that lets you select and display multiple
Points of Interest (POI) that help you get a better understanding of the neighbourhood. You can
choose to view several categories of POI such as banking, education, food and dining, gas stations,
healthcare, post offices, shopping, sports, transport, etc.
How do I "favorite” or “dislike” a property?
To better organize your home search, you can “favorite” or “dislike” properties using the “heart” or
“thumbs down” icons, respectively. You’ll find these icons on every property card displayed on the
browser/search pages and the property listing details page.
Favoriting a property adds it to your Favorite list and lets you compare them side by side.
Disliking a property removes it from your current collection, adds it to your “Not For Me”
property list, and lets your agent know the property isn’t for you. If you change your mind,
revisit the “Not For Me” property list and undo your dislike. Refresh the page to see your
changes.
15
How can I increase relevancy of the search results?
OneHome displays a PropertyFit Score on every Property Card in all your listings. The score,
expressed as a percentage, indicates how closely that listed property matches with what you’re
looking for. For PropertyFit score to work, you need to answer a few questions when first logging into
OneHome and selecting specific features that you’d like to see included in your ideal property.
Tip: You can also sort properties by their PropertyFit scores, making it easier for you to find your
ideal property.

can help you evaluate commuting options, compare different properties, and understand how
accessible the location when you use various transport options.
What are Market Insights?

better understand the area around the property of interest. Such insights are in addition to the

The Marketplace
What is the Marketplace?
The Marketplace by OneHome makes it easy for you to find, compare, and connect with reliable
providers for your mortgage, home insurance, and home services needs.
The Marketplace is available in select US regions.
Do I need a OneHome account to use the Marketplace?
You don’t need an active OneHome account to use the Marketplace but having one will give you
added functionality. For example, you’ll be able to save your mortgage or homeowners insurance
quotes so you can easily retrieve them later.
What kind of services does the Marketplace offer?
The Marketplace helps you reach your home buying and maintenance-related goals in 3 ways:
Mortgages: If you need to get pre-qualified, are ready to close on your new home, or just
want to see what rates you can get, the Marketplace lets you shop for competitive mortgage
rates from highly-rated national lenders. Find a quote you like? Schedule a date and time to
speak to the lender and get your home financing needs squared away.
Homeowners Insurance: If you plan to finance your home, homeowner’s insurance is
required on just about every property purchased. The Marketplace shows you the most
competitive quotes from 25+ leading regional and national insurance carriers (depending on
the area). If you have questions or want to discuss more options, independent and licensed
agents will help you find the right policy for you across all available insurance carriers.
Home Pro Services: The Marketplace connects you with licensed and qualified home
professionals such as home inspectors, moving companies, painters, flooring installers, and
cleaning services in your area. If you’re simply looking to get a rough idea of project costs,
22
the Marketplace also provides you with an instant cost estimate specific to your geographic
area.
How safe is my data with Marketplace?
Very safe. Marketplace asks for minimum data only just enough to find you personalized quotes and
services which is never sold to third parties.
Why does the Marketplace need my information?
The Marketplace asks you for some basic information to understand your requirements, so it can
match results to your needs. For some services such as generating quotes for homeowners insurance
or mortgage rates, your information is used to pre-screen your claims history (insurance) or credit
file (mortgage) this is a routine step taken to prepare accurate quotes, which never impacts your
credit score.
Will I get spam or sales calls if I provide my contact info?
No. Like you, we aren’t fans of spam, unwanted calls, and such. After you view and compare options
in the Marketplace, you decide if you want to proceed or not. If you don’t see options you like, you
won’t hear from anyone.
My real estate agent handpicked a service provider for me. Will Marketplace
show it?
Yes. If your agent picks a provider for you, the Marketplace will highlight it in your results.
Can I save my quotes and come back to them later?
Yes. If you have an active OneHome account, you can save multiple sets of quotes and quickly view
them in MarketplaceMy Marketplace.
Do my quotes expire?
To make sure you have the most up-to-date options available, some of your matches will need
refreshing after a period.
Insurance quotes expire after 60 days
Mortgage quotes expire after 5 days
Home Professional matches expire after 24 hours
