🔧 Fix this

Ideas a builder, maker or community group could start on:

  1. A browser extension that automatically filters and hides Zillow email alerts that do not match user-defined criteria.
  2. A third-party notification service that scrapes Zillow listings and only pushes alerts that strictly adhere to user-defined parameters.
  3. A feature request campaign to force Zillow to implement a 'strict match' toggle for saved search notifications.
