Listing hygiene

  • Complete every field — category, building type, bedrooms, accessibility features.
  • Upload at least 6 quality photos, including bathroom and kitchen.
  • Add a floor plan PDF.
  • Keep vacancy status current — outdated listings kill trust.

See our guides on choosing strong photos and writing accessible descriptions.

Response speed

Coordinators typically enquire on 4–6 homes at once. First to respond usually secures the inspection. Aim for a reply within 4 business hours.

Directory presence

Complete your profile on the provider directory — logo, service regions and specialisations lift your organic discoverability.

Pricing tier

Match your plan to the number of homes you list. Underpaying limits your listing cap.
