Private Property has a feature where you can choose to have a sole mandate listed exclusively on their portal for a chosen time period before going onto other portals. The main benefit of this is that the listing gets featured for free at the top of their search results.
 |
| Private Property exclusive listing stands out on top of search results. |
 |
| Listing retains a 'First on Private Property' Badge after the exclusivity period ends. |
We have enabled this feature 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. |
 |
| The exclusivity period can be set from 3 days up to 3 months. |
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.

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.

Currently, all your listings feed to Gumtree for free. However, from the 1st of September, Gumtree is changing to a fully paid model for property listings.
They say they are doing this to:
- Eliminate duplicate and fraudulent accounts.
- Improve the quality of leads you receive.
- Offer faster, more personalised customer support.
- Increase transparency in how services are delivered.
If you do not have a subscription with them, then all property listings that have been fed through will be automatically removed by them, so you do not have to do anything. If you do take out a paid subscription, then the listings will continue to feed through. We will update our admin console accordingly.

let us know.
