You can pay the listing fee using your credit card on the secure PayPal link. You will then be able to create a property description and upload your pictures. You will be able see what it looks like before it goes live on the web.
You will be able to revisit the site at anytime to review your account or make changes. You would click on the “Control Panel – Login” that is located in the “Landlord Area” .
You can deactivate the listing when you have rented the property and re-activate it at anytime during the initial 180 day period.
After the 180 day period you can re-list the property by paying the listing fee for the new 180 day period.
We do not automatically delete your listing after it has expired as many other sites do.
You invested your time and energy and if you return to reactivate your listing in the near future your descriptions and pictures may still be in our system for you to use over and over again.
Here are a couple of quick tips on setting up your listing.
The Description (Listing)
Use the... New Listing worksheet.. found under the... Forms Tab.. at the top of the page. You should print the form and complete it prior to setting up your listing. Then when you are on the website creating your listing you can type the information into the form on the screen or use a copy and paste function and copy it from your computer to the form on the website.
When you paste in text from a Word Document, this site program strips out HTML codes when it pastes it on the site. Therefore the bold, italic, line breaks and color will not show up in your description.
So the text you type or paste into the text boxes: Feature 1, Feature 2, Feature 3, or Full Description will not have HTML code in them. If you know how to type in "HTML" code you will be able to bold, italic and line space.
The Flyer –
You know it is important to have a clean looking one page flyer to put in the information box. You will need to check the preview screen feature after you have written the description. You may need to alter the description or use the page setup features of your browser to be sure that it fits on one page. This may also mean changing the top and bottom margins before printing the flyer. You can also opt to print the flyer on both sides if this works out better for you.
Pictures -
You should set up a list of pictures in your computer that you intend to upload to your listing. You will need to resize them so that the height is no greater than 375 pixles and the width is no greater than 500 pixles ( 375 X 500)
After you have uploaded the pictures there is a place to put in a title and description for the pictures. The software is unable to show this information on the flyers at this time so just skip using the titles and description feature.
