Good to know
- It happens at once. There's no waiting period for client accounts.
- Alerts stop. Your saved searches are deleted, so their alert emails stop too.
- Your chat goes too. Your conversation with your agent is deleted.
- Tell your agent. The app doesn't message your agent about it, so let them know if you'd like.
- If it doesn't go through. You see "We're sorry, but we couldn't complete your account deletion request due to a technical issue." Try again shortly.
FAQ
I deleted my account by mistake. Can you restore it?
No, deletion is permanent. You can create a new account, even with the same email, but your old searches, favorites and chat won't come back.
What happens to my saved searches?
They're deleted with your account, and their alerts stop.
Can I delete my account in the phone app?
Yes. Tap Menu, then your name, then My Account, and follow the same steps.
Will my agent know I deleted my account?
You no longer appear as their client, but the app doesn't send them a message. A quick note from you is the kindest way to let them know.
