I purchased this theme for one of my businesses last week but I liked it so much I’d now like to use it for my client (real estate agent) He requires a search function that allows for choices such as number of bedrooms, sq footage, home vs lot, bathrooms, etc. (basically real estate searchability) Do you know of any Shopify apps to customize your theme for my needs? (or have other ideas for me)?

I had a very disappointing experience with this seller. The theme I purchased is completely different from what was advertised in the demo. What was delivered looks nothing like the product shown on the sales page. Even more frustrating is the lack of support. The support team has been completely unresponsive and unwilling to take responsibility for the issue. Recommend not to purchase!

So happy with this theme and the support is always wonderful. I am not tech savvy AT ALL so my questions are always answered very clearly. Screen shots are even provided which helps immensely!
