The Property Practitioners Act (PPA) requires estate agents to have the following documents in order to market a property:
- Authority To Sell
- Mandate Agreement
- Mandatory Disclosure Form
We have made fields available in your admin console to add these documents to a listing. They will only be visible in the admin console, and not publicly visible on the website.
 |
| Adding documents in your admin console. |
Documents can be either ‘optional’ or ‘required’. By default, we have made all documents optional. If a document is set to required no property can be uploaded or edited without adding the document. If you would like a document to be required, please email
support@webbox.co.za, and we will change it.
The documents can be viewed in the admin console on the properties screen, making it easy to check whether any are missing.
 |
| Adjust column visibility to have the documents display. ATS - Authority to Sell, MA - Mandate Agreement, MDF - Mandatory Disclosure Form. |
This new feature will streamline your office admin and help you be compliant with the Act. Should you want to associate any other documents with properties, please email
support@webbox.co.za and we will set it up for you.

You can now list sole mandates exclusively on Private Property before they are automatically copied to other portals. In return, Private Property will feature your listing for free at the top of their search results.
 |
| Private Property exclusive listings stand out on top of search results. |
 |
| Listing retains a 'First on Private Property' badge after the exclusivity period ends. |
This feature is available in your admin console so you can use it when feeding your listings to Private Property. The time it is listed exclusively can be set at the agency level (applies to all listings) or at the agent level (the agent chooses the exclusivity time period for each listing).
 |
| Manage Private Property Exclusive Mandate default settings in your admin console. |
 |
| Setting the agent controlled exclusivity period on a per property basis. |
Once the exclusivity time period lapses, the property automatically goes to other portals, so no need to do anything yourself.
If you have a Private Property account and would like this enabled, please contact
support@webbox.co.za for the next steps.

Your documents can now be categorised into folders according to the type, subject or whatever you want. This allows for better organisation and a better user experience.

How often do you look up a company on social media before you decide to start dealing with them? It is no different for estate agencies. A Facebook Business Page gives you the opportunity to show that you are a reputable authority in your field and an active agency in your focal areas, as well as giving you another platform to showcase your stock.
Setting them up and maintaining them at a consistently high standard takes time, money and know-how and can be overwhelming. Let us help you with this - we have lots of experience managing Facebook Business pages for estate agencies, so we know what works and what doesn’t.
We are currently running a special offer* for WEB-BOX clients - 50% off the setup fee on our Lite, Standard or Booster packages plus 20% off the monthly fee for the first 3 months. Monthly fees start from R3660 + VAT per month.
