Listing blocked by external portal? check your email

Image
If the OMS has a problem sending a listing to an external portal, a little warning triangle will show up next to the portal on the listing’s online marketing page. Hover your mouse over the icon to get the specific details. In some cases the portal can block the listing without a specific reason sent back to the OMS, as shown below. In cases like these, they will usually send you or your office an email with the specific reason. Where listings are blocked, it can actually shows up as sold/expired on Property24 – so check the listing’s OMS status first.

Sold listings now on Property24

Mark listing mandates you’ve sold in the OMS as ‘sold – registered’ and the sold status will pull through to Property24: We’ve also made improvements to the interface to ensure properties removed aren’t stuck on Property24 – even in the event of interface failure problems.
