Browser Search Tool

Browse any listing site normally, open a property you like, then click this bookmark to save it directly to the submissions queue — no copy-pasting required.

Step 1 — Install the bookmark

Drag the button below to your browser's bookmarks bar. Do this once and you're set.

🏡 Save to Compound ← Drag this to your bookmarks bar

Step 2 — Open a listing page

Search on any of these sites with your filters, then click into a property you want to save:

LandWatch.com — best for rural acreage
LandAndFarm.com — good for WV/TN/KY land
LandsOfAmerica.com / Land.com — large inventory
Any other site — will do a best-effort extraction

Step 3 — Click the bookmark

While viewing a single property listing, click the bookmark. A panel appears showing what was extracted. Click Enrich to attempt a deeper pull of any missing fields, then enter your name and click Save.

What gets saved

Price, acres, county, listing URL, photos — plus whatever the site exposes: agent name/phone/email, MLS #, parcel ID, GPS coordinates, full description, previous sale date & price. The panel shows exactly which fields were captured before you save.

Tips

Always click into the individual property page before using the bookmark — results pages capture far less data
If fields are missing after the initial capture, click Enrich to try a server-side pull
Filter by 40+ acres and under $700k first to keep the queue clean
The bookmark remembers your name after the first use
Click the bookmark again to close the panel without saving
Duplicates are automatically ignored — safe to run on the same page twice
