Search and monitor
Search for properties, save favourites, set up alerts and keep an eye on agencies and your market.
How do I find properties listed by a specific agency?
Open the Property Search page, go to the Property / Agency section of the filter panel and type the agency's name under "With this agency" to see only its listings. To hide that agency's listings instead, enter its name under "Without this agency".
How do I find bank-owned properties?
Open the Property Sourcing page, select the Private | Agency tab, scroll to the Bank section of the filter panel and tick Bank properties. Your results then focus on listings that come directly from banks and other financial institutions, such as repossessed or distressed properties.
How do I add a property to my favourites?
Click the star icon on the property, either on its listing card in the Property Sourcing search results or on the property page, then choose an existing folder or create a new one. The property is saved to that folder in your Favourites.
How do I use the property history?
Open the property's details page from Property Sourcing and scroll down to the History section. It shows a chronological timeline of the property's market activity, including listing creation and removal dates, price changes, listing source updates and changes to property details.
How do I change the frequency of my email alerts?
Open your Alerts page from the bell icon in the left-hand vertical menu. Click Email notification frequency in the top right-hand corner and choose immediately, daily, never or weekly. Your choice saves automatically and applies to all your alerts.
How do I share a folder of favourite properties?
Open your Favourites page from the star icon in the vertical menu on the left of the Property Sourcing page, select the folder, click its Share or SmartLink button, then copy the link or send it via WhatsApp, Facebook or another platform.
How do I search for a property?
Open Property Sourcing, click the search icon in the search bar at the top of the page, and type a location, street, ZIP code, reference ID, listing URL or phone number. Select the right suggestion, then use the filters under the top navigation bar to narrow the results.
How do I find a property by its reference?
Click REF/ID in the main search bar and enter the property's reference. The reference is usually shown in the original listing on the website or real estate portal where the property is advertised.
How do I sort search results?
After you run a property search, click Sort by on the results list and choose how to order the properties. For example, sort by days on the market or Last updated to find properties that have been on the market for a long time.
How do I draw a custom boundary on the map?
Open the Property Sourcing page and click the Draw on map button above the map. A cross appears, and you can use it to freely outline your area of interest.
How do I manage my favourite properties?
In Property Sourcing, click the star icon in the vertical menu on the left to open your Favourites page. From there you can create, rename and delete folders, move properties between folders, remove properties, and share properties or folders with a SmartLink.
How do I create a folder for my favourite properties?
In CASAFARI, open your Favourites page using the star icon in the vertical menu on the left, click Create New Folder, give the folder a name (for example a client, project or location) and save it. You can then add new favourites to the folder or move existing ones into it.
How many favourite properties can I save?
You can save up to 200 favourite properties in your CASAFARI account. When you approach the limit, review your favourites and remove properties that are no longer relevant to make room for new ones.
How do I monitor my competitors?
In Property Sourcing, set your location, open the Private | Agency filter and enter the competing agency under With this agency. Then click Save and create an alert with the bell icon next to the search bar. You will receive updates on their new listings, price changes and status changes.
How do I find properties for sale by owner?
Go to the Property Search page in CASAFARI, enter your location, open the PRIVATE/ AGENCY filter and select Private Listings to see properties advertised only by their owners. Select Private + Agency or Ex-Private + Agency to see private listings that agencies later took on.
How do I monitor my portfolio?
In Property Sourcing, open the private/agency filter and select your company as the agency to see which of your agency's listings appear on CASAFARI, then set an alert to follow updates daily. If your portfolio is only part of your agency's, save your properties as favourites in their own folder.
What is the difference between the All Properties and All Listings filters?
In Property Sourcing, All Properties shows one page per property, combining all available data after deduplication. All Listings shows one page per individual listing without deduplication, so you see every version of a property published by different portals or agencies.
How do I create an alert with my preferred property characteristics?
In Property Sourcing, type a location into the main search bar and add filters for your preferred characteristics, such as price range, size and property type. Then click Create Alert (or Save Alert), name the alert and save it to be notified about new listings that match your criteria.
How do I manage and edit my alerts?
Open the Alerts section from your user menu or dashboard, select the alert you want to change, adjust its search criteria, notification preferences or name, and click Save changes. From the same list you can also delete alerts you no longer need.
How many alerts can I have?
By default, you can have up to 200 active alerts in your CASAFARI account. To make room for new ones, delete alerts you no longer use, or ask the support team at support@casafari.com for a higher limit.
How do I monitor my entire area of interest?
Open Property Sourcing, define your area by drawing it on the map or selecting cities, provinces, states or countries, then click the bell icon next to the search bar to create an alert. You will then receive updates on new listings, price changes and property status changes in that area.
How do I know if a property is still available for sale or rent?
Open the property page and check the details table to the right of the photos. It shows whether the property is for sale, for rent, delisted, sold or rented. In Property Sourcing you can also filter results by these statuses.
Who can see my comments on a property?
Your comments on a property are private. Only you and the members of your team within the same agency account can see them. Other CASAFARI users and external agents and agencies cannot see them.
