Where a Boca Raton listing actually reaches

That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Royal Palm Yacht Club, Mizner Park, Boca Bath & Tennis, Boca Pointe, Sanctuary, Oaks at Boca Raton, Old Floresta and Bocaire. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Boca Raton frequently look at Delray Beach, Boynton Beach and Broward County in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
