Register as Member or Agent?

When signing up to become part of the estate123.com family, there is an option that you will need to choose weather to register as a member or agent.

What is the difference? Well, if you are not a property agent/negotiator, then you should signup as a member. As a member, the feature that you use is almost the same as signing up as an Agent. The biggest difference between signing up as an Agent is that you will have to option to tie your ID to a valid Property Agency.
When you login as an Agent, once you login, you will notice a Verify Account button on the member page. Click on that button to provide some details for verification purpose. Click here to learn more about account verification for agent.

If you already registered and found out that you are not registered to the right member type, you may email us at nina@estate123.com and provide us your username and the agency that your account should tie to. Hope this tips helps.

Map your postings with Google Maps

You can now map your postings with the Google Maps feature that is just added to estate123.com.


Why should I map my property in the map?
Have you ever get calls from your potential buyer and they are not really sure of the exact location of the property that you posted? Now, if you show the location of your property in the map, don't you think you can save time explaining where the property is?


How do I point my property in the map?
When creating a property posting, the first step is to provide the property details, follow by the second step to upload photo of the property. In the third step, you will be presented with a map where you will move the pin to the exact location of your property. Make sure that you point your mouse pointer to the pin and then drag it to the desired location.


I already have existing posting, how can I add map?
If you already have existing postings in estate123.com, just go to the edit screen for the posting that you wish to add the map. As usual, just click on the Save & Next button until you reach the page where it shows the map on the page with a pin. Click and drag the pin to the exact location of your property. Once confirmed, click on Save & Next.

That's all. When the visitors to estate123.com views your posting with the location pointed in the map, they will be able to see the exact location of your property.
