Setting Property Preferences That Save Time

Re-entering the same filters for every property search wastes time. You know what you need. Why type it 50 times?
IndiFind solves this with one-time preference settings. Set your requirements once. We match everything automatically.
The Problem with Manual Filtering
Most property seekers waste 10 minutes per search re-entering filters:
- Property type: Warehouse
- Size: 5,000-10,000 sqm
- Location: Within 50km of city center
- Budget: €50,000-€100,000/month
- Access: 24/7 required
- Dock doors: Minimum 10
- Ceiling height: Minimum 12m
You enter this. Every. Single. Search.
Time wasted: 10 minutes × 5 searches/month = 50 minutes/month
The IndiFind Solution
Set your preferences once. IndiFind remembers them. Every search uses your criteria automatically.
Time saved: 10 minutes/search → 0 minutes/search

Preference Best Practices
Start Broad, Then Narrow
Begin with essential requirements:
- Property type
- Size range
- Location
- Budget
Then add specifications as you learn what's available in the market.
Update Regularly
Your needs change. Update preferences when:
- Your business grows
- Requirements evolve
- Market conditions shift
- You learn from searches
Use Multiple Preference Sets
If you need different property types, consider:
- One set for warehouses
- Another for distribution centers
- Separate sets for different regions
IndiFind supports multiple preference profiles.
How Preferences Work with Routes
Preferences work with your supply chain routes:
- You build a route (e.g., London, Rotterdam, Hamburg)
- You set preferences (e.g., 5,000-10,000 sqm warehouse)
- IndiFind searches all cities in your route
- Only matching properties are shown
- You get alerts when new matches appear
No manual filtering. No repeated work. Everything automated.
Real Results
Here's what preference automation delivers:
- Time saved: 10 minutes per search
- Consistency: Same criteria every time
- Completeness: Never miss a matching property
- Speed: Instant filtering on all searches
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Too narrow:
- Setting exact square meters (e.g., 7,500 sqm)
- Better: Set a range (e.g., 5,000-10,000 sqm)
Too broad:
- Accepting any property type
- Better: Specify your needs (e.g., warehouse only)
Not updating:
- Setting preferences once and forgetting them
- Better: Review monthly and adjust as needed
