About Prospect Match

With Prospect Match, you store a prospective buyer's home requirements, allowing Stratus MLS to automatically track available listings that match the prospect's search criteria. The system runs the search at the frequency you choose, and automatically emails a summary of the matches to all recipients.

For each prospect, create a profile and enter search criteria. Once the search is saved, the system emails an alert each time new listings, back-on-markets, or price changes generate matches.

If you know a prospect won't be able to check email for a period of time, you can suspend prospect searches and email alerts, resuming them when needed.

Note:

Prospect Match is agent-specific. You are the only one with access to your prospects.

New Prospects

You can create a new prospect wherever it is convenient to do so:

At the Search Type page, select "Prospect Search".
At any search for available listings, click "Create Prospect" before submitting the search.
At Contact View, select the Prospects tab.

New Matches

When the system finds new matches:

All designated recipients receive emailed links to new matches.
At Info Center, a linked "New Prospect Matches" alert displays.
The latest set of matches are also available at the Prospect Match page via the "Matches" button.

Prospects Linked to Contacts

By linking a contact to your prospect search you allow the system to automatically fill information in the prospect profile, and you can access and add, manage, and extend prospect searches directly from the contact's detail view page. When you create a prospect search for a new customer, it is simple to create the contact on the fly.

Extending Prospects

When a prospect is due to expire, or has already recently expired, the prospect is eligible for extension and an alert to this effect displays at Info Center. Note: The MLS decides the number of days within which the prospect can be extended.
