Receive Alerts About New Listings

Get saved search alerts by email when new listings match the search your agent set up for you.

Use this article, as an invited client, to receive saved search alerts from your agent, open listings from an alert email, and see the newest matches in Perchwell.

When saved search alerts start and how often they send

Saved search alerts start after your agent adds you to a saved search, turns on alerts, and saves the search. Your agent also chooses how often alerts send and which listing activity they cover. That activity can include new matches, price changes, status changes, and open houses.

An alert sends only when there is new activity, which means you do not receive an email when nothing has changed. To change how often you receive alerts, ask your agent.

Where you receive saved search alerts

Saved search alerts arrive by email. If you have the Perchwell mobile app, you also receive saved search alerts as push notifications. You do not need a Perchwell account to receive saved search alert emails or open the listings in them.

What a saved search alert email includes

Each saved search alert email opens with "Latest updates to" and the saved search name, which links to the search. The email includes:

  • Each matching listing, with a link to its Listing Detail Page

  • A Click here to unsubscribe link at the bottom

Saved search alert emails do not include a way to message your agent. To message your agent, open Messages in Perchwell. Communicate with Your Agent via Messages in Perchwell explains how. Unsubscribe from Saved Search Alert Emails covers how to stop receiving saved search alerts.
