Once you've built a useful expired listings search, you can save it as a daily email alert and let Marketproof Pro do the watching for you. This article covers saving an alert, optionally adding skip-traced owner contacts, and managing your alerts over time.
If you're new to searching expired listings, start with the Expired Listings article first.
Saving a Search as a Daily Alert
Each morning at 7am ET, we re-run your saved filters and email you any newly off-market listings that match. If nothing new came in that day, no email is sent — you won't get empty digests.
How to save
Build your search on the Expired Listings page and confirm the result count is reasonable. Alerts cap at 25 leads per email, so a few dozen matches is the sweet spot.
Click Save Search & Email Me Daily above the results table.
The save dialog opens.
What you'll see in the dialog
Field | What it does |
Alert name | Pre-filled from your geography and building type. Change to whatever you'll recognize in your inbox. |
Max results per email | Default 10, range 1–100. Lower = tighter, higher-quality digest. |
Filters being saved | Chip list of every filter currently applied. Confirm before saving. |
Off-market types | Expired ✓ and POM ✓ are on by default. TOM is off — turn on only if you want maximum coverage. |
Skip-trace owner contacts | Optional toggle — see the next section. |
What happens after you save
Your first email arrives the next morning at 7am ET.
Every email contains only listings that newly went off-market since the last email — no repeats.
You can pause, edit, or delete the alert any time from the My Alerts tab.
Skip-Trace: Adding Owner Contact Info
By default, alerts give you the listings only. To get each lead with owner phone, email, and mailing address, flip the Skip-trace owner contacts toggle in the save dialog. Skip-trace uses Premium Credits.

How the cost works
1 Premium Credit = one matched owner contact lookup.
Previously-traced owners are free. If we've already looked up this owner for any reason, we serve the cached result at no cost.
No-match results are free. If the owner isn't in our database, you're not charged.
So if your daily email contains 10 owners, the typical cost is 5–10 credits depending on cache hits.
Live cost estimate
When you flip the toggle on, the dialog runs your filters against the last 30 days of data and shows expected leads per month, estimated cost in both credits and dollars, and your current balance. Adjusting the Max results per email cap updates the estimate instantly.
Premium Credits
Premium Credits are the currency for skip-trace and other contact-enrichment features across Marketproof Pro.
Pack pricing
Pack | Credits | Price per credit | Total |
Starter | 25 | $0.80 | $20.00 |
Growth | 100 | $0.75 | $75.00 |
Power | 500 | $0.65 | $325.00 |
Elite | 1,000 | $0.60 | $600.00 |
Bigger packs give you a better per-credit rate. To buy, open the Premium Credits menu from your account / billing area and check out with the card on file. Your current balance appears in the top-right account menu, in the skip-trace cost estimate, and on the billing page.
Auto-Recharge
If you've enabled skip-trace on a daily alert, you almost certainly want auto-recharge turned on too. Without it, the day your balance runs out is the day your alert silently stops finding contacts.
What it does
When your Premium Credit balance drops below your threshold (default 10), we automatically purchase your selected pack using your card on file. Your skip-trace keeps going without interruption.
How to set it up
Open the Auto-recharge settings (you'll be prompted automatically the first time you turn on skip-trace).
Pick a pack — Starter (25) is fine to start; bump up if you have multiple high-volume alerts.
Set your threshold (default 10).
Confirm a card is on file. If not, you'll be prompted to add one.
Save.
What you'll be charged
Every time your balance dips below the threshold, you'll be charged for one pack and get a Stripe receipt by email. You can change the pack, change the threshold, or disable auto-recharge any time.
Daily safety cap
Within a single alert run, auto-recharge will fire at most 5 times as a safety net. If you'd somehow burn through 5× your pack in one morning, the run pauses rather than running up a surprise bill — you'll get an email letting you know.
Managing Your Alerts
All your saved alerts live under the My Alerts tab on the Expired Listings page.
Action | What it does |
Pause / Resume | Stops or restarts daily emails. Filters and history are preserved. |
Edit | Change the name, max results per email, off-market types, or skip-trace setting. (To change the filters themselves, open the alert in Search and re-save.) |
Open in Search | Loads the saved filters back into the Search tab so you can browse the full set or tweak. |
Delete | Removes the alert permanently. Run history is kept. |
Run history
Click the chevron on the left of any alert row to expand its recent runs. Each run shows the date, how many listings were emailed, how many owners were skip-traced, credits used, and status (Complete, Partial, Out of credits, etc.). Click View → on any run to see the full lead list with all contact info that was traced.
Unsubscribing
Every alert email has an Unsubscribe link at the bottom. It pauses that specific alert only — your other alerts keep running. Hit Resume in My Alerts any time to turn it back on.
FAQ
How is "new" defined?
A listing is "new" to your alert if its off-market state-change date (limited to the types you have checked) falls between your last email and now. Listings that already appeared in a past email won't show up again.
Why is Temporarily off-market (TOM) off by default?
TOM events can be 10–20× more common than Expired or POM on busy days, and many TOM listings come back on the market within a week. They make the digest noisy. Turn TOM on only if you specifically want to catch listings the moment they pause.
What if my filter matches more than 25 listings in a day?
You'll get the top 25 sorted by Days on Market (longest first). The full count is shown in the email and on the run detail page.
Can I have more than one alert?
Yes — set up one per neighborhood, per building, per niche. Whatever matches how you work.
Can I get a weekly digest instead of daily?
Daily only for now. Weekly is on the roadmap.
What happens if my Premium Credit balance runs out mid-run?
If auto-recharge is on, we'll top up your balance and continue. If auto-recharge is off (or the recharge itself fails), the alert still sends — but with a banner letting you know contacts couldn't be traced for some of the listings, with a link to fix it in billing.
Will I be charged for owners I've already looked up, or when no contact is found?
No to both. Cache hits and no-match results are always free.
How do I cancel a Premium Credit purchase?
Credit pack purchases are non-refundable, but unused credits never expire. To stop future purchases, turn off auto-recharge in your settings.
Can I download my leads as a CSV?
Yes. Every email has a download button, and the run detail page has a CSV export with all contact info.
