How toGet one thing done

Save a search and get told when something matches

Turn a search you will run again into a saved search, choose how often you hear about matches, and stop the ones you no longer want.

  1. Get the search right first

    Save the search you would actually run again, filters and all. A saved search with no filters matches most of the market and will tell you nothing.

  2. Save it and name it for the decision

    "Milton 3-bed under 900" is a name you will recognise in two months. "Search 1" is not.

  3. Pick a frequency you will tolerate

    Instant is right when you are actively bidding and wrong the rest of the time. Daily is the setting most people keep. Weekly is for a market you are watching rather than shopping.

What each alert tells you
