When you are searching for a home, you can easily set up search alerts – which we call a SearchAgent – so you automatically receive an email notification when new homes that match your criteria are listed on BoligPortal. You simply need to click on 'Activate Search Agent' when you search for a home on BoligPortal.
It is important that you apply as many search filters as possible when setting up a Search Agent, so you only receive relevant rental listings.
You can create as many Search Agents as you like and manage them under 'Search Agents' in your profile. All Search Agents automatically expire after 6 months.
How to create a Search Agent
- Go to BoligPortal – either in the browser or on the app – and enter all your preferences and requirements in the search filters
The more filters you apply in your search, the more precise and specific your Search Agent will be.
If you apply very few or no filters, you will receive notifications about all new properties listed in the geographical area you have selected. This means you may receive a very large number of emails with properties that may not necessarily match your needs regarding size, price, and similar criteria.
- Click on the small button in the orange box with the text 'Active Search Agent'
When the button is green, you have activated your Search Agent. You can always click the button again to undo your selection – for example, if you want to refine your search further.
You will now automatically receive an email notification as soon as a listing that matches your search criteria is posted.
You can always view, delete, or extend all your Search Agents on your profile under the 'Search Agents' tab.
It is not possible to modify a Search Agent once it has been created. If you want to change your Search Agent, you will need to delete the existing one and create a new one.

It is not possible to modify or in other way make changes to an active Search Agent. You will need to go to your profile under 'Search Agents' and click on 'Delete Search Agent' to remove the existing one. Afterward, go back to the marketplace and create a new one with the correct search criteria.
If you’re receiving a large number of emails about new properties that don’t match your preferences, you’ve likely created a Search Agent with very broad search criteria.
You can always go to the 'Search Agents' tab on your profile to view all active Search Agents.
If you have an active Search Agent with no or very few filters, you will receive a large number of emails based on it.
In the above example, there is both a broad Search Agent with no search filters selected and a specific Search Agent with a number of concrete search criteria.
With the broad Search Agent, the home seeker will receive an email every time a listing is created anywhere in Aarhus.
With the specific Search Agent, the home seeker will receive an email every time a listing is created in Aarhus that is also without a time limit, at least 50 square meters, costs 8,000 kroner or less, and has a balcony or terrace and an electric car charging station.
The advantage of creating one or more Search Agents is that you will automatically receive an email notification as soon as an ad that could be relevant for you is posted.
This increases your chances of being among the first to contact the landlord before the property is rented out or reserved by someone else.
