To offer properties on our pages is very simple. Our system is easier to handle than eBay.
- First you have to register as a user. To do so you have to click the menu item "Offer" and then "register here". Thereafter, just follow the instructions.
- Then you have to log in with your user name and password.
- Before publishing any real estate, you have to fill in your contact data. For this behalf, please click on "Administer your Contact Data".
- Now you have an enhanced "Offer" menu. To publish a property, click on "Administer Your Properties".
- Now appears a menu with graphical icons.
Pointing your cursor over these icons, you can see that the first is for the category "Published", the second for
"Unpublished" and the third for "New".
- Click. on "New". A new data sheet opens.
- First you choose a "Reference" number for you new object with the format XX-XX-XXX (caps and numbers), which seems appropriate to you. Then you pick the right catregory for your property ("Select Category") and the type of your offer ("Choose Type"). In most cases "Single-Type For Sale" or "Single-Type For Rent" are the correct choices, meaning that the described object is for sale or rent as a whole.
- Then you type a detailed description of your property in the corresponding form field.
- Continue with the other form fields, which are not mandatory.
- On the bottom of the page you have to activate the checkbox "Publish" to make sure that your ad appears on our pages. The checkbox "Hot Offer" may only be activated by our system administrator. In case you check this box by error, our webmaster probably will deselect it later.
- Then you have to click on the index card "Meta Info". As "Keywords" you enter terms which describe your property and its location, separated by commas, e.g. "holiday home, central heating, reet roof,
Atlantida, Canelones, Uruguay" etc. In "Description" you write two or three complete sentences. You very well can use phrases you already used above.
- Then you scroll back to the top of the page and click on the index card "Exposé". Another form opens.
- Answer the questions truthfully. The "Number of Rooms" referrs to all kind of rooms where one stays during the day or the night, like dormitories (which are inquired separately, too), living rooms, dining rooms, children's rooms, play rooms, guest rooms, maiden's rooms, studios, offices etc. Do not include (in "Number of Rooms") spaces which are basically functional, such as bathrooms, toilets, kitchens, laundries, deposits, garages etc.
- In case a realtor's commission has to be paid is your object is sold or rented out, you must mention this in the corresponding field ("Brokerage").
- In "Object Location", the field "Street, Nr." is not mandatory, neither is the "Zip Code" in the following line. But you should specify "Town", "District", "State" and "Country".
- Then you press "Save" (diskette symbol on top of the page). You should do this before, too, approx. every ten minutes, to avoid that the system logs you out automatically.
- After saving, you press the image icon on the left of the diskette symbol, in case you want to publish some pictures. The gallery manager opens.
- Click "Bind & Upload" to get started. In the middle you find "File Upload". "Examine" your computer and select the first picture you want to upload by a double click. Be aware that the last picture you upload will be the first to appear in your presentation (inverse order). Each image needs a title and brief description.
- When everything is set, click "Upload" and repeat the procedure for the following images.
- You can publish up to 10 images in .jpg or .gif format. The images should have a reasonable size and 'weight' to avoid long loading times.
- With "Edit &
Order" you can rearrange the order of your images, edit titles and descriptions and also delete images. Don't forget to save the changes.
- When you're done, you close the gallery manager and press "Save" again (diskette symbol).
If you want your descriptions to be translated to german and/or spanish, mail them to us. We will publish them for you. We also can do the translations, but not for free (more here).
