Create a Listing Tutorial
The MyCTRentals.com website is driven by users listing their properties for rent online, and this process has been streamlined into a 3 step process. If you’re a property owner, sign up for a MyCTRentals.com account today, and you can have your property listed on the site in under 5 minutes.
The first step is entering all of your listing information. You can begin this step by logging into your site and finding the “New Property Listing” or “New Complex Listing” link on the left hand navigation bar. You will be asked a handful of information about your property including general info (name of property, contact person, phone/email), location (address and city), and info about the property (bedrooms, bathrooms, monthly rent, deposit and amenities) as well as allowing you to enter a description, or anything you would like into a free text box. When you’ve completed this page, use the submit button on the bottom of the page to enter this listing into our database.
The second step will allow you to upload photos (currently up to 5 photos) for your property that will be displayed in the search results. You can add photos in two ways. First, right after you submit your new listing, you’ll find a link to “Add/Edit photos for this listing” which will take you to the photo manager. Second, from the “Manage All Listings”on your lefthand navigation, you will find an “Add/Change Photos” link above the listing you’ve just entered. Once you enter the photo manager for your listing, you can upload photos one at a time, and choose which photo will be the default for the listing (meaning it will show in the search results). Your photos will not be activated immediately, however you can usually expect to see them available within a few hours.
Last, you will want to activate your listing so it appears in the search results to the sites visitors. You can find a link to activate the listing in the same places you found the “photos” links. Depending on your account, you may have the option to choose how long your listing is active. If you ever need to deactivate a listing, you will find a button for that on the “Manage All Listings” page.
That’s all there is to it… when you complete these 3 easy steps you will have your property listed in the MyCTRentals.com online directory for all visitors to see. You will be able to keep track of your listings’ page visits from your “My Account” Control Panel as well. If you ever have any questions on listing your site, please contact us and we’ll be more than happy to help!
Stay tuned for new features coming in the next few weeks!
