Before You Start
To create listings on PlaceBuy, you'll need:
- A Seller Pro (€49/mo) or Agent Premium (€199/mo) account
- High-quality photos of your property (minimum 5, recommended 15-30)
- Property details (address, size, features, price)
- Legal documents (title deed, disclosure forms, etc.)
Step 1: Basic Details
Navigate to your dashboard and click "Create New Listing". Start by entering:
- Property type (house, apartment, condo, etc.)
- Listing type (sale, rent, or both)
- Number of bedrooms and bathrooms
- Square footage or square meters
- Year built
Step 2: Location & Address
Use our OpenStreetMap integration to search for your property address. As you type, we'll suggest complete addresses and automatically populate the coordinates for map display.
Pro tip: Adding a neighborhood name helps buyers understand the area context.
Step 3: Photos & Media
Drag and drop your photos into the upload area. Our AI will:
- Grade each photo for quality (0-100 score)
- Provide feedback on lighting, composition, and staging
- Suggest improvements like "Remove clutter" or "Improve lighting"
- Recommend which photo to use as your main image
You can reorder photos by dragging them and mark one as the main listing photo.
Step 4: Pricing
Set your listing price and currency. PlaceBuy will show you:
- AI-suggested price range based on comparable properties
- Market analysis for your area
- Estimated time-to-sale at different price points
Use the interactive slider to see how different prices affect your expected sale timeline.
Step 5: Description
Click "Generate AI Description" and select your target language. Within seconds, you'll have a professional listing description. You can:
- Use it as-is
- Edit and customize it

Step 6: Documents & Compliance
Upload required legal documents like:
- Title deed or proof of ownership
- Property disclosure forms
- Recent inspection reports
- Property tax records
- Survey or floor plans
The compliance checklist shows you which documents are required and tracks your completion percentage.
