Vista Blue is revolutionizing the way homeowners sell or rent their properties by offering a completely self-managed, cost-effective solution. By signing up with Vista Blue, you’ll be able to take control of your property listing, bypass the need for traditional real estate agents, and save on commission fees. Whether you’re looking to sell your home or rent it out, the process is designed to be straightforward, efficient, and fully customizable. Here’s a step-by-step guide of what to expect when you sign up with Vista Blue to sell or rent your property privately.
Step 1: Select Your Package – Sales or Rental
The first step in signing up with Vista Blue is to select the appropriate package for your needs—either the Sales Package or the Rental Package. Both options offer full access to Vista Blue’s platform, allowing you to create a professional property listing without the hassle of working with an agent.
Sales Package
If you’re looking to sell your property, the Sales Package is designed to help you market and sell your property to potential buyers directly. This package gives you access to all the tools you need to create and manage your property listing, including customizable descriptions, media uploads (photos, videos, and floor plans), and an automated enquiry system.
Rental Package
If you’re looking to rent out your property, the Rental Package allows you to create a listing to attract potential tenants. With the Rental Package, you can upload property details, set your rental price, and provide essential information about the property. Additionally, the automated application system ensures that tenant applications, complete with supporting documents like payslips and ID, are received quickly and efficiently.
Once you’ve chosen the Sales or Rental Package, you can proceed to the next step.
Step 2: Complete the Signup Form
After selecting your package, you’ll be prompted to fill out a simple signup form. This form is quick and easy to complete, requiring only a few basic details about you and your property. Here’s what you can expect during the signup process:
- Personal Details: You will need to provide basic personal information such as your name, email address, and phone number. This allows us to contact you with important updates about your listing.
- Property Information: You’ll need to enter key details about the property you’re selling or renting, such as the type of property (house, apartment, etc.), its location, and the price (whether for sale or rent). The more information you provide, the better your listing will be.
- Package Selection: This is where you confirm your choice of either the Sales or Rental Package. Once selected, you’ll be able to proceed to the payment options.
The entire signup form only takes a minute or two to complete, making the process incredibly simple and efficient. With just a few clicks, you’ll be ready to move on to the payment stage.
Step 3: Payment Options – Bank Transfer or Credit Card
Vista Blue offers two convenient payment options: Credit Card or Bank Transfer. Depending on your preference, you can choose the method that works best for you. Both options are quick and easy to complete, ensuring that your listing is up and running in no time.
Credit Card Payment
If you choose to pay by credit card, you’ll be prompted to enter your card details securely. Once the payment is processed, you’ll receive an automated email confirming your transaction. This email will contain important details, including a link that allows you to create your Vista Blue account.
Bank Transfer Payment
If you prefer to pay by bank transfer, you’ll receive an invoice directly after completing the signup form. The invoice will include Vista Blue’s bank account details, so you can easily transfer the payment. Once your payment has been received, you’ll get an email with instructions on how to set up and manage your property listing.
In both cases, Vista Blue ensures that the payment process is as smooth as possible. Whether you opt for credit card or bank transfer, you’ll be able to start creating and managing your listing quickly.
Step 4: Create Your Vista Blue Account
Once your payment has been processed, you’ll receive an email that contains a link to create your Vista Blue account. This is where you’ll choose a username and password to access the platform. Once your account is set up, you’ll be able to log in and start managing your property listing.
Choose Your Username and Password
The process of creating your account is simple: choose a unique username and a secure password. Make sure to write down your login details, as these will be required every time you want to access your account and manage your property listing.
Once logged in, you’ll gain access to the full suite of tools offered by Vista Blue, including the ability to create, update, and manage your listing from anywhere, at any time.
Step 5: Nominate Where You’d Like Your For Sale or Rent Board Sent
One of the key features that set Vista Blue apart is the ability to market your property with a professional For Sale or For Rent signboard. Once you’ve logged in and created your account, you’ll be asked to nominate where you’d like your signboard to be sent.
This is a simple and important step in promoting your property. If you’re selling, a “For Sale” signboard will be delivered to your property. If you’re renting, a “For Rent” board will be sent. These boards help attract local interest and give your property more visibility, especially for those who may not have discovered your listing online yet.
The process is seamless, and once you’ve nominated the location for the signboard, you’ll be ready to move on to creating your property listing.
Step 6: Create Your Listing
Now comes the fun part—creating your property listing. Vista Blue provides an easy-to-use platform that allows you to create a comprehensive and professional listing in just a few simple steps.
Here’s what you can expect during the listing creation process:
- Upload Photos: You’ll be able to upload up to 35 high-quality photos of your property. This includes exterior and interior shots, showcasing the best features of your home. You can also add images of key areas like the kitchen, living room, bathrooms, and bedrooms.
- Add Floor Plans: If you have floor plans of your property, you can upload up to two floor plans. This helps potential buyers or renters visualize the layout and flow of your property, which is an important part of their decision-making process.
- Write a Title and Description: Next, you’ll create a catchy title for your listing and write a detailed description. This is your opportunity to highlight your property’s best features, including the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and any special amenities (such as a pool, garden, or renovated kitchen). A compelling description will attract more views and interest.
- Set the Price: You’ll then enter the price for your property. If you’re selling, this will be your asking price. If you’re renting, you’ll set your weekly rental price. This is a critical step, as pricing your property correctly can significantly impact the number of inquiries you receive.
- Add Open Times (If Applicable): If you’re selling your property and plan to hold open inspections, you can add the open times to your listing. This allows interested buyers to plan their visit and makes it easy to schedule multiple viewings.
- Review and Publish: Once you’ve filled in all the necessary information and uploaded your media, you can preview your listing before making it live. Take a moment to review all the details, ensuring everything is accurate and properly presented. When you’re ready, simply publish the listing to make it available on the Vista Blue platform and across other property websites.
Step 7: Manage Your Listing
After publishing your listing, you can manage it easily from your Vista Blue account. If you want to make updates to the photos, adjust the price, or change the description, you can do so with just a few clicks. All updates will be reflected across all the websites where your property is listed, ensuring that your listing stays up to date and competitive.
Real-Time Updates and Alerts
Vista Blue also offers real-time updates and alerts. If someone enquires about your property, you’ll be notified via email and SMS, so you can follow up promptly. If you’re renting, the system also allows tenants to submit applications online, and you’ll receive these applications instantly.
This gives you full control over the process, allowing you to respond quickly to any inquiries or applications that come through.
Signing up with Vista Blue to sell or rent your property privately is a fast, simple, and efficient process. From selecting your package to creating your listing, the entire experience is designed to put you in control and save you money. With the ability to manage your property listing from anywhere, access to powerful marketing tools, and the option to receive automated alerts and applications, Vista Blue is the ideal platform for homeowners who want to take charge of their property sales or rentals. So, if you’re ready to bypass traditional agents and keep more of your hard-earned money, Vista Blue is the solution for you.
