# How to create and launch your listing

### **1. Log In or Register**
* **New Users:** Go to the [PropertyNow website](https://www.propertynow.com.au) and click **'Get Started'** in the top right corner to create your account.
* **Existing Users:** Simply click **'My Account'** to log in.

### **2. Start the Listing Process**
Once logged in, you will usually be taken straight to the listing setup. If not, look for the **'New Property +'** button on the left-hand side of your dashboard to begin.

After you enter the address, we ask what you'd like to do with the property: **Sell it**, **Find a tenant**, or **Manage an existing tenancy**. Choose Sell it or Find a tenant to carry on with the listing steps below. Manage an existing tenancy skips the listing altogether and takes you straight to Rental Management, see [Can I use PropertyNow to manage my existing tenancy?](https://help.propertynow.com.au/en/article/can-i-use-propertynow-to-manage-my-existing-tenancy-tyzbj4/).

### **3. Complete Your Property Details**
The system will guide you through several sections (Address, Features, Description, and Photos).
* **Save as you go:** Click **‘Continue’** at the bottom of each page to save your progress.
* **Jump ahead:** You can use the **top navigation bar** to skip to a specific section if you aren't ready to complete a certain step (like uploading photos) just yet.

### **4. Uploading Photos and Documents**
* **Images:** We recommend landscape format and high-resolution files (under 5MB).
* **Proof of Ownership:** You will need to upload a rates notice or title search to comply with real estate legislation.
* **Photo ID:** You'll also need to upload a photo ID and a selfie of you holding it. Every listing, for sale or for lease, needs both the ownership document and your ID verified by our team before it can go live. See [What documents do I need for proof of ownership and ID?](https://help.propertynow.com.au/en/article/what-documents-do-i-need-for-proof-of-ownership-and-id-6ca33r/).
* **Having trouble?** If you struggle to upload your images or documents, don't worry. Just email them to **support@propertynow.com.au** and our team will attach them for you.

### **5. Finalise and Submit**
When you reach the **Checkout** step, you will need to:
1. **Select your payment method:** Enter your details to finalise the package.
2. **Confirm Shipping:** Double-check your address for your "For Sale" or "For Lease" sign.
3. **Choose Activation Timing:** You can select to activate your listing **'Immediately'** or **'Later'** (if you're still finishing touches on the house).

# What Happens Next?

Once you hit submit, the ball is in our court:
1. **The Manual Audit:** Our expert team receives your listing and manually checks everything, from your spelling and grammar to your compliance with REA and Domain's strict policies.
2. **Going Live:** We aim to review and activate listings in as little as **5 minutes**, and almost always within the hour, during our support hours (**9:00am–5:30pm AEST, 7 days a week**).
3. **Notifications:** You will receive an email confirmation the moment your listing is live on the major portals.

### **Need a hand?**
If you get stuck at any point, whether it's writing your description or finding your way around the dashboard, our Australian-based support team is here for you 7 days a week.
