Use this article to find your saved searches moved from Paragon and their contacts, review and fix their filters, remove the [From Paragon: Unreviewed] prefix, and turn their alerts back on.
Find saved searches moved from Paragon
Click Saved Searches, or the name of the open saved search, in the upper left of the Search page to open the My Searches window. Each saved search moved from Paragon starts with [From Paragon: Unreviewed] in its name.
Saved searches moved in a one-time transfer the week before your Perchwell access date. A saved search created in Paragon after that date did not move, so recreate it in Perchwell.
Find the contacts linked to saved searches moved from Paragon
Saved searches moved from Paragon stay linked to the contacts they had in Paragon when Paragon sent the contact, the saved search, and the link between them. Find those contacts in two places:
Contacts column: Lists each saved search's contacts in the My Searches window, which opens from Saved Searches on the Search page.
Shared Searches tab: Lists every saved search linked to one contact, on the left side of that contact's page.
Add a missing contact to a saved search moved from Paragon
Add a contact to a saved search in the saved search's Edit Search window when the link between them did not move.
Steps:
Click Saved Searches, or the name of the open saved search, in the upper left of the Search page
Click the pencil icon next to the saved search
Select the checkbox next to the contact in the Contacts dropdown
Click Update
The contact appears in the saved search's Contacts column in the My Searches window. Manage Your Saved Searches explains sharing a saved search with a contact.
Why saved searches moved from Paragon need review
Saved searches moved from Paragon may be missing filters or carry filters that changed in Perchwell, which means a search may find different listings than it did in Paragon.
Paragon dropped some filters when it sent saved searches to Perchwell, with no consistent pattern. For example, a search for condos with 2 or more bedrooms in Gulf Shores may have arrived without its Bedrooms filter.
Baldwin REALTORS® MLS also changed some fields to follow RESO (Real Estate Standards Organization) standards, so a saved search that used one of them needs a new filter. The table below lists the Paragon filters that most often need replacing in a saved search, and what to select in Perchwell instead.
Paragon filter | What to select in Perchwell |
Active New Construction status | The Active status, with Construction Status set to Under Construction |
Other property type, with the Boat Slip, Fractional Ownership, or Garage subtype | The Residential-Single Family property type, with the Boat Slip, Fractional Ownership, or Garage subtype |
More than 2 Pets Allowed? | The More than 2 pets allowed option in Community Amenities |
All Features, with Or between features in different groups | The filter for each feature on the Filters tab, such as Community Amenities or Pool Features |
Perchwell applies Or only to values within the same filter, and a listing must match every filter you set. A saved search that used Or between features in different groups may find fewer listings in Perchwell than it did in Paragon. Create a Search with Filters explains Or, And, and Not.
Paragon's Class is Property Type in Perchwell, and Paragon's Property Type is the subtype. Listing Field Changes in Perchwell lists every field that changed.
