Creating a listing NSW

Modified on Thu, 22 Aug at 10:58 AM

How to create a listing record

A listing record can only be created from a Property Record, so the User needs to create the Property Record first. 


Residential Listings

When clicked, the User will be able to select if the Listing is For Sale or For Lease. 


Commercial Listings

Commercial properties will have the following options:

  • For Sale

  • For Lease

  • Both (this means the property is advertised as both for sale and for lease).



Conditions for creating a new residential listing record

If there is already a For Sale Listing Record with status = Draft, Active, Withdrawn or Under Offer the For Sale option will be greyed out

If the Property does not have a Management Record that is Active (only applicable to Residential Properties) then the For Lease option will be greyed out. However, this condition does not exist for Agents operating their own rent rolls.

If the User is not operating Rentals at all, then the For Lease option will NOT display for Residential Properties.


Listing Wizard


The listing wizard is the step by step process the User needs to complete in order to create the Listing Record.


Step 1 - Marketing

In this step the User will add the Marketing campaign to the listing record if there is one.


When a ‘Campaign’ is added, it will display in this step with each of its Items. 

Step 2 - Listing

This step contains the details that will be on the Listing Agreement. Most of the fields are the same for all countries and states, however there are a few differences based on the location of the property.


Estimated Selling Price

is a dropdown that contains two options:

  • Single

  • Range



Has the seller provided as asking price is a dropdown that contains the Yes or No options




The Asking Price field will only display is the User has selected Single for Estimated Selling Price. This field will be required. 


Minimum Price and Maximum Price will only display if the User has selected Range for Estimated Selling Price

This field will be required.




The Price/Display Price field is a required field and used for filtering on the websites. It cannot have a number lower than $2,900. 


The Use Instead of Price field is a dropdown with the following options:

  • Closing Date Sale

  • Price Range

  • Expression of Interest

  • Offers Invited

  • Just Launched

  • Price Guide

  • Property Showcase

  • Market Preview

  • Just Listed

  • Under Offer

If this is left blank, then the Price/Display Price field will display as the price on the websites. It is important to note that this field is NOT a free text field for NSW so we can protect the agent from Underquoting.




 

The Listing Status options will differ based on the Type of Property and Type of Listing.
