Owner email example.
|
The owner email is a great way to let sellers know how hard you are working to sell their property. This email shows the seller what their property looks like on the various portals and can be customised with your own personal message to them.
Sending an owner email is easily done from your admin console and is sure to impress the seller.

Exciting news! You can now upload documents to your admin console to share with your team - no more storing documents in places nobody can find. This will save you hours of hunting around for the documents you regularly use in your business.
This feature also allows you to make documents public on the frontend of your website so your clients can download documents like rental agreements and tenant application forms. It's quick and easy to manage.
To access this feature, login to your admin console and select “Documents”:
 |
| Manage documents from admin console. |
When uploading a document, you can choose to make it public on your website as a download, or keep it private for internal use only.
 |
| To make documents visible or not on your website. |

| Documents on your website. |
To enable the “public” document function please

We would love your feedback about this new feature. (Please note this is only available for Standard and Responsive websites).

Did you know you can add additional users with their own logins to your website’s’ admin console? This means agents can upload and edit their own properties, but not those of other agents. You set their permissions so you decide who can manage and view properties, agents, subscribers, the portal feeds, your website stats, enquiries and others tabs in the admin console. This will free up your time, as well as give you a good overview of your agents productivity in terms of how many properties they are uploading.

The first 10 additional users each cost R21 + VAT per month, thereafter R16 + VAT per month. If you would like us to enable this feature for you please
contact usPlease note this is only available for standard and responsive websites.

Exciting news! You can now send property alerts yourself as soon as you’ve listed a property. No more waiting for property alerts to go out the next morning.
Property alerts are an excellent marketing tool to send your properties to as many people as possible, and now you can increase the chances that you will be the first person to present the property to buyers. This is very important in the case of an open mandate as buyers could be working with multiple agents in the area so the first agent to present the property to the actual buyer will get the sale.
 |
After ticking the property alert box when editing or uploading a property, select this option in your admin console.
|
 |
| The list of property alerts to be sent is shown in your admin console. |
It is important to keep adding as many subscribers as possible to your database by collecting emails at show days, email enquiries and other personal interactions. Please be sure that you only add valid email addresses and only add email addresses you collected yourself.
If you have a large list of subscribers you would like to add, please email
support@webbox.co.za and we will gladly add them for you.
Please give this new feature a try and
let us know what you think.
