Common questions about Saved Searches & Alerts
Saved Searches & Alerts
Yes. RealFoyer lets visitors save a property search so they can return to matching inventory without rebuilding their criteria each visit.
A saved search records what someone actually wants — location, price band, property type and the rest of their filters. Visitors can also save individual listings and whole neighbourhoods.
For the agent this is the most useful thing a website visitor can do, because the criteria arrive attached to a lead profile rather than having to be drawn out over a phone call.
Was this helpful?Listing alerts email a buyer when a new listing matches a search they saved. The buyer chooses the frequency: instant, daily or weekly.
Because the alert is tied to saved criteria rather than to a general mailing list, the buyer controls what they hear about and how often — which is why alert email is treated as transactional rather than as a campaign.
Was this helpful?Buyers choose between instant, daily and weekly alerts when they set one up.
The choice belongs to the buyer rather than the agent, which keeps the alert wanted. Instant suits a competitive price band where a day's delay loses the showing; weekly suits someone six months out who does not want a daily email.
Was this helpful?Yes. Alongside saved listings and saved searches, visitors can save a neighbourhood and be alerted about new inventory there.
This suits buyers who know where they want to live before they know exactly what they want to buy — a common pattern early in a search, and a useful signal about which areas to send them.
Was this helpful?A saved search creates a lead profile carrying the buyer's own criteria, and it appears on their record in the CRM.
The lead's activity timeline then shows the searches and alerts they set alongside the properties they viewed and favourited, so the first call can start from what they are actually looking for rather than from an introduction.
