Adding a Property

On the Property Manager page select the folder you want to store the property in, then click the Add Property button. There will already be one folder called 'Listings' but you can create sub-folders if you wish (see folders help).


There are only 3 steps to complete in the Add Property process: Details, Photos, Preview


Step 1 - Details

Category

  • Choose the correct category for your property: Residential For Sale, Residential For Rent, Commercial For Sale, Commercial For Rent or Vacation Rental

  • NOTE: If you have business to dispose of (ie. a restaurant) choose Commercial; if the property is available as a short let (ie. less than 6 months) choose Vacation Rental

Address Details

  • Enter the location of your property by using the drop down lists to select Country, Region and Town or village. If the one you want is not in the list, click the 'Not Listed' button and type in the location

  • The remainder of the property address (name/number, street, etc) can be entered into the appropriate boxes

Price Details

  • Price Prefix is for a statement to appear in front of the price, ie. 'Offers over' or 'Reduced to' (NOT currency symbols)

  • Price - enter the actual asking price. Enter only numbers here. Do not enter symbols (e.g. %£/.,&$ etc)

  • Currency - select your currency from the drop down list. Site viewers can search using their own currency and the site will convert what you have entered


Description

  • Type in a full description of your property. The first 375 characters of your description will appear in the Search Results view of your property. The full description will appear when 'View Details' is clicked on the property. The more description you add you add to your property the better - more information = more enquiries!

  • A Word document can be uploaded in place of your description, if you prefer

  • Features - enter the main features of the property here. These are displayed prominently on the site. Select a Property Type from the drop down list. Choose the one that best describes your property

  • Floor Area - this is the floor area of the building. Enter the number and select sq mtr of sq ft from the drop down list. Bedrooms & Bathrooms - select how many from the drop down lists. Leave at 0 if they do not apply

Step 2 - Photos

Main Image/Photo

  • Click the 'Add Main Image/Photo' button. A window will open with a Browse option for you to find the image on your computer (ONLY upload .jpg or .gif files - anything else will not succeed). To avoid errors make sure the .jpg or .gif at the end of the file name is in lower case. Really large photos will make the site 'timeout' so it makes sense to size your image to no more than 750 pixels wide before uploading

  • Image Description - what you enter here will appear when the mouse is hovered over the image

  • Use the 'Add Additional Image' button to add as many additional photos as you require

  • Additional images can be moved up and down using the 'Move' buttons


Additional links

  • Video/Virtual Tour - if you have a video or virtual tour of your property enter the full web address here. If you would like a video see www.video2website.com

  • Local Area Info - find your own links or click here for some we've found for you

  • Map - find your own links or click here for some we've found for you

  • Our Website - users of the website prior to this upgrade may notice that the 'Our Website' link has been removed from the bottom of each listing. This is to encourage visitors to use the 'Contact Us' link. As a result you will receive details of those interested in your properties rather than anonymous clicks on your website. For real estate agents - your web address will still appear under your address at the top of each of your listings



Step 3 - Preview

Preview property

  • Here you get a chance to see how the property will look on the site. You can click the 'Re-edit' buttons to change anything or the 'Go Live' button to send it to the site. If you have problems adding a property, see Problems Going Live?



Editing a property
To edit a property, click on it to select it in the Property Manager page and click the 'Edit Property' button. This opens the same steps you encountered when you added the property. When you have made your changes click the 'Preview' button and then 'Go Live'.
