Set up a search alert

To create alerts you need an active account on Porta. Sign in from the top-right corner.

Alerts are linked to your registered email, so it's important that you have access to that inbox.

Click the profile icon (top-right corner) and select "Alerts" from the dropdown menu.

If this is your first alert, you'll see an empty screen with a "Create alert" button. If you already have active alerts, they'll be listed here.

Select the operation type (Sale or Rent), the property type (House, Apartment, Land, etc.), and the area or province you're interested in.

You can refine the search with additional filters: price range, number of bedrooms, minimum area in m², and more.

Give the alert a descriptive name so you can identify it easily later, for example: "Houses in Escazú 2 beds" or "Land in Guanacaste".

This name is only visible to you — it doesn't appear in emails or on properties.

Click "Save alert". From that moment on, every time a new property is listed that matches your criteria, you'll receive a notification email.

You can create up to 3 active alerts per account.
