A real estate listing stands for a property that is put on sale, rent or lease. A listing in the real estate segment is mentioned by a real estate broker or a real estate brokerage firm like Housing.com.

 

What does a listing consist of?

In a real estate listing, interested home buyers and tenants access details, such as property location, features, amenities and price.

 

How do you list your property?

Property appearance: Property maintenance should be given importance as this will make or break the decision. The property that you want to get listed should be clean. Before listing the property on a real estate portal, declutter it. If the property requires repairs or renovations, do the needful before listing it on a website.

Documents: Ensure that you have all the property documents, such as the sale deed, stamp duty and registration acknowledgement, property tax receipts, blueprint and photos.

Pricing: After thorough research based on location, amenities and configuration, keep the basic selling price (BSP) ready. The final property price will be more than the BSP.
