Housing Market CRM Import Existing Listings: File, Feed or Website

Tutorial 68 of 181

Open the product

You do not have to type your properties into Housing Market CRM one by one. Import existing listings brings them in from a spreadsheet, a feed link or your own website, and you review everything before anything is added. This tutorial opens Import existing listings from My properties, explains what each way needs and which plan it belongs to, and then reads a property feed link once, which is free on every plan. You look through what was found, leave out a possible duplicate and a listing with a problem, and add the rest to My Properties.

In this tutorial you will learn

  • The three ways to import: spreadsheet, feed link and your own website
  • Which ways are free and which need a paid plan
  • How to read a feed link and review what was found
  • How to leave out duplicates and listings with problems, then add the rest

Follow along: the steps

  1. Open your Housing Market CRM account.
  2. Open Properties in the left menu.
  3. Click My properties.

  5. A spreadsheet: upload a CSV or Excel file and match your columns.
  6. A feed link: the property feed your agency software already publishes.

  9. It needs the Business plan, and a locked way says so.
  10. Back to Feed link.
  11. Paste the feed address.
  12. Click Read the feed.
  13. The CRM reads the feed. You can leave this page: the work carries on.
  14. Nothing is added yet. Here is what was found.
  15. Each listing shows its price, bedrooms and status.
  16. Filter to the possible duplicates.
  17. This one looks like a property you already have.
