Once you have set up your search criteria, let the power of the website do the on-going search for you. This can be done with two features: New Listing Alerts and My Portfolio Alerts.

Most buyers do not have the time to perform daily searches for property; therefore they enjoy email alerts to stay on top of changes in the market.

New Listing Alerts notify you instantaneously via email when any property that matches your criteria comes on the market. This allows you to go about your life confident that you are on the cutting edge of the market. My Portfolio Alerts will notify you instantaneously of any changes that occur to the properties in My Portfolio. On the site you can turn on both New Listing Alerts and My Portfolio Alerts.

In competitive markets these features are especially important. They allow you to be among the first to know about a new property. The advance jump on competing buyers gives you more time to decide if a property is the right one for you. It can also make the difference between you buying the property or losing it to a competing buyer.

Some property comes on the market at an inflated sales price. When sellers first list their property they are hopeful about the asking price. Over time, sellers may become more anxious and willing to lower their price. With a lower sales price a property may be more attractive to you. My Portfolio Alerts will notify you as soon as sellers in My Portfolio lowers the price in the MLS. This notification may give you the competitive edge over competing buyers.
