Portals, campaigns and sales sheets all read from the listing record, so your first one is worth finishing properly. The form stays in one window and runs in three steps: first the core facts, next the rooms, words and photos, and last the commission and the portals.
Walkthrough video to followAbout a minute and a half on screen, taking one sale listing through all three steps of the form and publishing it.
Before you begin
- The price, the size, the floor and the unit, plus the permit number if you’re in the UAE.
- Photos in JPG or PNG. A listing takes up to 20, and none may be over 2 MB.
- Ideally, a contact record for the landlord, ready to be linked. If there isn’t one yet, Quick Create Landlord adds one without leaving the form.
Step 1: Basic Info
- Go to Listings and click Create Listing.
- Set the Listing Type to Sale or Rent. A rental also asks for the Payment Frequency and the Number of Cheques. Choose with care, because the type is fixed once the listing exists.
- Listing Status begins at Draft. Switch it to Active when the listing is ready to go out. Drafts skip the check for required fields.
- Start typing the Property Name. Choose a property that already exists, or press Enter to create it.
- Complete every field marked with a red asterisk: Price, Built-up Area, Property Type, Location, Address, Tower/ House, Floor, Unit, Permit Number and the Assigned Agent.
- Add whatever else you have, such as the Landlord, Developer, Year Built, Completion Status, Tenure, Have Key and Available From. Both Year Built and Developer are stored on the property itself, and editing either here changes it there too.
- Click Save & Next.

Step 2: Listing Details
- Use the steppers for Bedrooms and Bathrooms. Where they apply, add Car Park, Balcony and Living Rooms too, along with the View and the Furnishing Type.
- Under Listing Name & Description, name the listing and describe the home yourself. Or click AI Generate for a first draft written from the facts you’ve entered, and edit it before moving on. See drafting a name and description with AI.
- Choose the Features & Amenities. Some teams also label listings with Tags.
- Upload your photos under Photos & Files. See listing photos.
- Click Save & Next.

Step 3: Publish Listing
- Set the Commission Type to Percentage or Fixed Amount. Then fill in the Commission Rate and the Deposit.
- Check the Agent Split. To share the commission, add a Co-Agent.
- Under Distribution Channels, turn on whichever of Property Finder, Bayut and Dubizzle you want.
- Finish with Publish.
Where you’ll find it
- In Listings, as a card or a table row. A chip gives its status, and each portal you turned on shows as an icon. See finding, sorting and filtering listings.
- On the dashboard, in the New Listings strip of listings added this week.
- In Listing Match, scored against your contacts from the moment it’s saved.
- On each portal you chose, once approved, with Published or Unpublished shown against that portal on the listing.
