Frequently Asked Questions

To list a property, follow these steps:

A standard property listing remains active for thirty (30) days from the date of publication. After this period, the listing will expire automatically. You have two options:

• Renew your listing: Pay a renewal fee to keep your listing active for another 30 days
• Create a new listing: If your property details have changed significantly

You'll receive email notifications 7 days and 3 days before your listing expires.

Yes! You have full control over your listings:

• Editing: You can edit any aspect of your listing at any time from your dashboard. Changes are usually visible within a few minutes.
• Removal: You can deactivate or remove your listing instantly. If you remove a listing before it expires, you won't receive a refund for the remaining period.
• Mark as Sold/Rented: We recommend marking your property as sold/rented instead of removing it, so potential buyers know it's no longer available.

To create a complete and effective listing, you should provide:

• Property Details: Type (apartment, house, land, commercial), size, number of bedrooms/bathrooms
• Location: Full address or area description (you can hide exact address for privacy)
• Price: Sale price or rental rate per month/year
• Description: Detailed information about the property, features, nearby amenities
• Media: At least 5 high-quality photos (recommended), optional video tour
• Contact Information: How potential buyers/renters can reach you
