Adding Listings

Adding listings to your website is a must. By placing your listings on your website, you expose those listings to more potential buyers and increase the likelihood of selling the listing quickly. Potential sellers also like to see that you are taking advantage of every opportunity to market the homes that you list.

  1. Click on My Listings .
  2. Enter the MLS number for the new listing in the text field, and then, click Find .
  3. Select the Property Type (i.e. Condominium or Single Family) from the drop down menu.
  4. Type the property Address information in the appropriate fields. If your local board of Realtors does not allow you to show the street address, enter a blank space in the Address field by clicking in the box and tapping the space bar. Otherwise, you will be prompted for an address at the end of the process.
  5. Type your List Price , number of Bedrooms , number of Bathrooms , and Square Feet . It is best to enter these as whole numbers (no fractions). You don-t need to enter dollar signs or commas - the listing entry program will add these for you.
  6. Description - Enter a concise description of the listing. There is a 4,000-character limit on this field, which translates roughly to two double-spaced typed pages.
  7. Upload New Main Photo - Click Browse , and locate your photos. Click on the name of the photo you want, and hit the Open button.
  8. If the photo you want is on your local MLS website, you can save it to your hard drive by clicking your right mouse button on the photo. One of the options in the menu is Save As . Select Save As , and save the photo to the appropriate folder on your hard drive. Remember to note the file name and where you stored it for future reference.
  9. Enter Photo URL - Locate on the web the photo you want to load (probably on your local MLS website), and right click on the photo. One of your right click options is Properties. Select it, and then, highlight the URL (ex. http://www.homesinpleasantville/housepic5.gif) Copy it to your clipboard by right clicking on the highlighted text and select Copy. Close the Properties popup menu, and click in the text field called Enter Photo URL. Then, paste the copied text in by either hitting right-clicking in Enter Photo URL and selecting Paste.
  10. Expire Date - This field defaults to 120 days from the current date. Once the listing expires, you will have to re-enter all the information again, so note the date. You can always extend it by editing your existing Agent Load listing and changing the date.
  11. Click Submit to save your new listing. If you missed a field, the program will prompt you to complete the form. Remember to enter a blank space if you want that field to be blank on the web.
  12. Go to http://new.kw.com/listing_search.php, and verify that your new listing shows up completely and accurately. You can also check your featured listings on your KW Agent Website.
