Concept Design - Alerts and Notifications

After gathering all the requirements and talking with the product manager, I decided to take a step back and identify problems in the existing design. Realtor's app had a concept of follow the search where user can create alert however the functionality was not intuitive. Below is the flow of the existing design.
