A buyer is a saved search — what one of your clients is looking for. Once saved, matching runs continuously and surfaces fitting listings under Opportunities.

Register a buyer

1

Open the form

Buyers → New buyer.

Capture the brief

  • Budget — the buyer’s ceiling. Matching treats it as a maximum.
  • Location & radius — where they want to buy, and how far out is acceptable.
  • Type & beds — flat, apartment, detached, etc., and minimum bedrooms.
  • Size, amenities, timescale, finance — optional, but the more you add the sharper the match and the stronger your position when you introduce them.

Say whether they need to sell first

Do they need to sell first? — and if so, is it already on the market?Worth answering properly. A buyer in a chain behaves differently, and a buyer with a property still to list is a seller you already know about.
4

Choose who can see them

Private keeps the buyer to you. Pocket shares them with the groups you choose. Public puts them in front of the whole network.
5

Review and create

Check the details, then create. Matching starts immediately.
Leave type and beds open (“any”) for a buyer with a broad brief, or set them to filter tightly. The buyer only surfaces listings that pass the criteria you set.

​
How matching works

A listing matches a buyer when:
  • The price fits the budget (at or under, and not unrealistically cheap), and
  • The listing is within range of one of the buyer’s locations, and
  • The type and beds match — but only if you specified them.
Both sides must be in the same market. See the Glossary for how the match score is calculated.

Keeping buyers fresh

Buyers that sit untouched eventually go quiet. BrokerBroker helps you keep them accurate:
  • Going-cold nudge — you’ll be prompted to confirm a buyer is still active.
  • Still searching / Pause / Found — respond to the nudge to keep, pause, or close the search. Paused buyers stop matching until you reactivate them.
Only active buyers match. Pausing a buyer removes it from the network without deleting the record.
