What’s next?

To learn more about leveraging our available tools, we start by covering how to complete an online property listing by using a spreadsheet and Property Flow. 

Marketing, distributing, and updating your property listings across many online real estate websites can be extremely daunting, as you can often find yourself being overwhelmed with different processes to complete. 

On the other hand, with the Property Flow marketing tools for real estate, you’ll find yourself with a user-friendly interface for connecting your property listings to local, regional, and global real estate web portals – done with just a few clicks!

To get a better idea of how much power is built into Property Flow, let’s do a side-by-side comparison on how both options will be managing your online property listings.

Property listings “The Spreadsheet Way”

Step 1: Create a new listing 

• Go to your local file folder or online shared folder
• Open your spreadsheet page
• Scroll down to the line below your last entered listing’
• Write your project name, address, number of rooms, number of bathrooms, number of floors, property SQM size, property facilities, common areas, special property features, interior style, status, fixtures
• Make sure to have all the fields mentioned above; this will help your property listing stand-out

Step 2: Manage property listing photos

• Gather your photos and copy or upload them to your shared folder – make sure to cross-reference the folder & file names with your spreadsheet entry.

Step 3: Create your online property listings

• Log into the first real estate listing web portal
• Open your spreadsheet
• In your spreadsheet, tab back and forth between your spreadsheet and the web portal to re-enter all the necessary information
• Double-check to make sure that all your entered information is correct
• Cross-reference the online property listing to your spreadsheet
• Now go to your photo folder and copy your relevant photos onto your desktop
• Start to upload your same photos again onto the first real estate listing web portal
• Add your watermark onto your selected photos by using a photo-editing application, then apply that watermark
• Save
• Now, upload them again!

After all this, you may discover that this website lists your photos according to the order in which they were uploaded. 

Note: If the photos are not uploaded in the desired order, you will need to delete and reupload all of them.

Invalid file dimensions, such as the inability to store a large photos or a photo format, may also cause issues. This means that you would also need additional photo editing software to resize your photo in order to successfully upload it again while ensuring that its quality remain high or lossless.

Once these steps are completed, you must re-upload your photos (in the correct order) and then click publish.

Now, repeat all of these steps for each of the property listings you wish to upload on the real estate website.

Does your property inventory consist of 10 different listings? If not, is it up to 100 listings, or even 1,000? Yikes!

It will be extremely daunting and time-consuming to repeat the steps mentioned above for the number of property listings that you wish you take online, not to mention keeping them updated.

Maintenance alone will require full-time employment!

Now, let’s look at how to get your property listings online with

“Property Flow Way”
