Properties or listings? How the two records differ

The property is the building or the home itself. The listing is the thing you put on the market.

Look down on a tower and you see two things: the building, and the homes inside it that are up for sale or rent. Raptor Neo records them separately. Get that split right and a tower’s address goes in once, not once per flat, and every property’s unit counts stay true.

From the top down: three levels

Level What it records Edit it in
Property: the building itself Tower, building or community. Its name, address and location, the developer, year built, amenities, photos, files and floor plans Properties
Unit: one home in the building Its tower or house, floor, size, view and room counts Unit & Listings, on the property’s page
Listing: that home, offered to clients Sale or rent, its price and status, name, description, own photos, commission, portals Listings

One property can hold hundreds of units. Most units carry a single listing. A resale unit is the exception: it can be marketed for sale and for rent at once, with one listing for each.

What flows down from the building

Some details pass from the property to its listings; others stay where they are.

  • Inherited, yours to override. Pick the building on a new listing and its Location, Address and Features & Amenities come across. Change them on the listing and the building is left as it was.
  • Held by the building alone. Year Built and Developer live only on the property. Edit either from a listing and you’ve edited the property, for every unit in it.
  • The listing’s own. Price, status, name, description, photos, commission, agent and the channels it goes out on belong to that one listing.

Which record do you start with?

  • A single resale home. Click Create Listing. In the Property Name field, search for the building. If it’s already in Raptor Neo, pick it; if not, create it from the same field.
  • A launch with a whole block of units. Click Create Property, keep New Development switched on and build the unit table. When you finish, Raptor Neo creates a sale listing for each unit. The steps are in setting up a new development.

Where each record appears

  • Portals, campaigns, shared links and AI Match all work with listings. A property on its own never goes out to anyone.
  • The property page totals its listings: the Total Units, Available and Reserved figures are worked out from each unit’s listing status.
  • Every property and every listing is visible to everyone in your agency, whatever their role.
