Creating & Publishing a Listing

How to post a rental listing on Seayora — property details, pricing, availability, amenities, and how listings appear in search.

A listing is an advertisement you create and control. Complete, accurate listings rank better, attract stronger applicants, and rent faster.

The Portfolio tab with its section strip — Properties, Post a listing and Import — and Post a listing ringed. — Portfolio → Post a listing opens the listing form.

What to include

Address, unit type, bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage.
Monthly rent, deposit, and availability date.
Amenities like parking, laundry, and pet policy.
A clear, honest description of the unit and neighborhood.
Real photos of the actual unit.

The Property details section of the listing form: property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, year built and move-in date, furnished or unfurnished, whether it was recently renovated, and the description box with a “Write it with Dolphin” button. — The listing form goes section by section — location, property details, features and amenities, the rent and lease terms, availability, and photos last.

Publishing and visibility

Once published, your listing appears in browse and search, on city and neighborhood pages, and gets its own shareable page optimized for search engines. Keep availability current — accurate listings perform best and outdated ones erode trust.

The Drafts list at the top of the portfolio — “Not visible to anyone and not being charged for” — with the draft 88 Palmer Ct, Apt 3D and its Publish button ringed. — A saved draft is invisible and free until you press Publish.

Your responsibility

You are responsible for the accuracy and legality of everything you post, including fair-housing compliance. Seayora provides the advertising tools and placement but does not verify listings. See the advertising terms in the Terms of Service.

Editing a listing and marking it unavailable

You can edit any listing detail at any time — update the rent, swap photos, or adjust availability. As soon as a unit is off the market, mark it unavailable or remove it; a stale “available” listing wastes applicants’ time and hurts how your future listings are perceived.

Two listing cards in the portfolio. On the first, for 214 Wilson Ave, Apt 4B, the Edit button is ringed and numbered 1 and Freeze listing is ringed and numbered 2. — 1 Edit changes any detail of a listing; 2 Freeze listing takes it off the market without deleting it.

Common mistakes that slow down renting

Missing or vague pricing — applicants skip listings without a clear rent amount.
Too few photos, or photos that don’t match the description.
An availability date left in the past.
No mention of pet policy, parking, or laundry — frequently the first questions renters have.

Frequently asked questions

How many listings can I post at once?

There’s no fixed cap on active listings for a standard account — landlords with a larger portfolio or management companies typically manage many listings at once from the same account.

Can I list a property I don’t personally own?

Yes, if you’re authorized to advertise it — for example as a property manager or agent acting for the owner. You represent that you have the right to list and advertise the property when you publish it.

What happens to a listing once the unit is rented?

Mark it unavailable or remove it as soon as it’s off the market. Leaving a rented unit listed as available wastes applicants’ time and can hurt how your future listings perform.

Can I schedule a listing to publish in the future?

Where scheduled publishing is supported, you can prepare a listing ahead of a known move-out date so it goes live automatically rather than requiring you to remember to publish it manually.
