- Where your property is - this is important as its listed on your schedule, its how buyers find you through our search area, it defines who is sent an e-mail and SMS notification of a property that matches their criteria, and finally where it is displayed on our mapping system
- Details about your property - detail the type of property, number of bedrooms, public rooms, heating, glazing and most importantly price
- Property features - choose from an existing list or indeed add your own items to feature in your sale
- Images - easily upload up to 10 images with captions for each property
