Registration and Password
Before you can create a property listing, we first gather some administrative
contact details from you via the Register to List button. This is found in the left hand panel
below the Homelet Logo. Some of this information is used to provide your contact details for
your property listing. You can chose which contact details appear on your listing by
selecting an appropriate check box beside each information field. All personal information
gathered is confidential to Homelet as per our Privacy Policy.
Once the Registration Form is successfully completed and submitted, you will
be sent a confirmation email with your nominated User Name and our system generated Password
so you may Login as a member.

Membership Activation
:Activate (Residential/Flatshare/Holiday) Membership Icon.
The first time you enter the membership page you will see at the bottom an
Activate button for the category of membership (Residential, Flatshare or Holiday) you
selected in the Register to List form.
Left mouse click this icon, you will see an acknowledgement page indicating
activation of your listing category. By clicking the Return to Your Membership Page link,
you will find an Add Property Listing Icon has now appeared at the bottom of the Membership
Summary Page.

Add Property Listing
:Add (Residential/Flatshare/Holiday) Property Icon.
Left mouse click the Add Property Listing Icon and a page will open allowing
you to create a new property listing. For ease of use, many fields are Drop Boxes, allowing
you to select from a choice of variables provided. Any field not selected will not appear in
your final property listing.
Use the Description area to fully describe all the features
of your property and it's locality that potential tenants might
want to know about. For a residential listing suburb, street, number
of rooms, building age, section, garaging, entertainment, shops,
public transport are just a few of these features for starters.
By giving a good description here you will either convince potential
tenants that this is the residence they must see (and they will
make the effort to see it), or it helps them decide early that it
isn't quite the property for them. Either way tenants searching
for a property will appreciate your effort here.
It is also important to ensure that the first 20 words of your description
here catches the reader's attention. The reason for this is the first 20 words will appear
in the property search results page.
Pictures provide evidence that what is described, exists.
Inside photographs provide a reason to have a look past the front door if the street appeal
is lacking, or provide a feeling of familiarity when potential tenants view the property.
If you dont have digital photographs to upload when you create your listing, dont worry,
they can be uploaded later on.
It is important that the file size of any digital photo is less than 100kb.
Photo file sizes bigger than this will result in viewers losing patience waiting for them to
down load. We limit the size of photo files for this reason!
Once the Add a Listing Form is successfully completed and
submitted, we will indicate this to you with a confirmation page with your propertys
unique listing number. Left mouse click on the link to return to your membership page, you
will now find a Listing Summary has appeared at the bottom of it.
As you add new listings, each one will appear in Street
Alphabetical order in your Listing Summary. Four control icons appear on the lower left
hand side of each Property Listing, with a fifth indicator icon appearing in the lower
right position.
These icons are to:
:Edit the Listing;
:Delete the Listing;
:Change Status of the Listing;
:Preview the Listing; and
:Listing Status. (Gives a visual indication each listings Internet Status)
