Today, we want to give you some instructions on how to set up a saved search that will send you emails each day when new properties show up in your area of interest. 

·         First, you log in and select property search

·         Select a County Zone (Just one only)

·         Scroll down to the General Property Search section

·         Select one of the options under "Choose One" such as Default Notice or Trustee Sales

·         You can now select from many options in the general property search section if you want to make very specific choices. 

·         You can specify the number of bedrooms and bathrooms. 

·         You can specify the type of property. 

·         You can specify up to 3 cities or zip codes within the county zone, or

·         You can scroll further down the screen to the map for a polygon search

·         The Polygon search option lets you draw a multi-sided box around a geographic area

·         If you wish to create a polygon for your search, put your mouse cursor on the map

·         Adjust the map to center on the area you want, and zoom in if needed

·         Begin your polygon by clicking one point on the map

·         Move your mouse cursor and click on a second point on the map

·         A red line will form between the two points

·         Move your mouse cursor again to another point and click to make a second line

·         Continue this process until you have just one line left to do to finish the box

·         Click on "Close Polyshape" and the polygon will be complete

·         Now you should have a search that is ready to save

·         Scroll up the page to just above "Choose One"

·         Click on "Save this Search" and a small window will open in that spot

·         Now type the name you want to give the search and click "Save"

·         The search will be saved to your "My Searches" folder

·         Now click on "My Searches" just above Kurt's Photo on the left of the Property Search Screen

·         You will see the search you saved

·         Look to the right and you will see it says "Activate Notifications"

·         Click on "Activate Notifications"

·         You will now get an email each day with the properties that your search picks up

·         Call 800-664-2567 if you would like us to create a saved search for you
