Great addition; however, many listings appear without photos which is unfortunate….making sure every listing transports the photo with it from the source-listing should be worked on sooner rather than later….although I know the zip codes for my area, many incoming residents would not have that information at hand unless it is the zip code of their new employer. A Region or state-designated area might be better….like Craigslist

If there are no images supplied in the incoming feed then no images will display in search results. :)
