Review from our Facebook page
The submission platform
Enter your listing URL. We take care of the rest.
Your agents already wrote every listing once, on your own website. Asking them to write it a second time for print is where a magazine deadline goes to die, and where the wrong price, the old photo and the address with the typo get into a book that cannot be corrected.
So they don’t write it twice. An agent pastes the link to a listing and the page fills itself in from it: name, address, price, beds, baths, area, the description and the whole photo gallery. From there they are checking rather than typing, inside guard rails that make it impossible to submit something that will not print.
Step 01
Paste the link
Nothing to download, nothing to attach. The agent copies the listing address from your own website, one per line, and presses Fetch. There is no cap, a whole book can go in at once.
Paste listing URLs, one per line
A listing that isn’t on the site yet, a pocket listing, something coming to market after the deadline, gets its own form instead.
Step 02
The listings read themselves in
Each page is read in turn and the result reported honestly. A page that will not load does not take the batch down with it, and a page missing a field says which field.
Three fields the page didn’t carry, asked for in place. The agent fills them and carries on, they never have to start a listing over, and they never have to email anyone about it.
Step 03
Checking, not typing
Everything the page carried is already in the boxes. The band across the top is not a choice anyone makes, it is the asking price, read back as a page size.
Casa Vista Verde yourbrokerage.com/listings/casa-vista-verde scrapedFive fields confirmed at a glance, one to add. The red border is the only thing asking for attention.
Step 04
The limit counts down while they write
The description arrives at whatever length the website carried, often far too long. Rather than guessing, the agent watches a counter run against this listing’s own limit. Try it: the box below is live.
Over the limit, the counter and the bar turn red and Submit will not go. Shorten to fit proposes a trim of the same copy, which the agent is free to rewrite. Nothing ever arrives four hundred words long for a quarter page.
Step 05
Photos, in the order they want them
Every photo from the listing page is already here. Clicking selects, and the order of the clicks is the order they print. Click these, they work.
Click a photo to select it.
The hero has to clear the print resolution the page size demands. A 1,920px web image chosen as a full-page lead is flagged on the spot, not three weeks later on press day.
Step 06
Submitted, and still theirs to change
No attachment to send, no reply to wait for. Every listing an agent has entered sits on one page, editable until the issue locks.
Feature · full page · 12 photos · you can edit this until 16 October
| Listing | Price | Layout | Copy | State |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Casa Vista Verde | $4,250,000 | Feature · full page | 1,147 / 1,200 | submitted |
| Villa Marena | $2,150,000 | Premium · half page | 684 / 700 | submitted |
| Finca los Almendros | $1,850,000 | Premium · half page | 699 / 700 | submitted |
| Ocean Ridge Parcel | Price on request | Standard · quarter | 0 / 400 | draft |
Three in, one still a draft, and the agent can see at a glance which is which. Nobody has to ask the office whether their listings made it.
A working model of the submission screens, drawn from the build specification with invented listings and an invented agent, no client data and no real contact details. In production it carries your brokerage’s name and mark, on a private page of your own site.
- 01Paste the linkOne line per listing, copied from your own website. No blank form, no attachments, no spreadsheet to download and send back. An agent with eleven listings pastes eleven lines and stops.
- 02The listing reads itself inName, address, price, beds, baths, interior area, the description and every photo on the page arrive already filled in. The agent is checking work rather than retyping it, the part that used to take an evening takes a minute.
- 03Nothing gets lost quietlyA field the page didn’t carry comes back in red with a prompt beside it. A listing that can’t be reached opens as a form already holding the URL. A listing someone else entered says so, and who. No agent ever hits a dead end and emails you instead.
- 04The price decides the layoutPage size, copy length and photo count are derived from the asking price the moment it lands. Nobody has to ask what their listing is entitled to, and nobody has to be told it is less than they hoped.
- 05The limit counts down as they writeThe counter runs against that listing’s own limit, turning red the moment the copy is too long, and Shorten to fit proposes a trim they are free to edit. Nothing arrives four hundred words over.
- 06Photos carry the print rulesTheir gallery is already loaded. Clicking chooses, and the order they click becomes the print order. A hero that is too small to print at that page size says so before they submit, not three weeks later.
- 07Submitted, and still theirsA confirmation on screen, every listing they have entered on one page, and the freedom to edit any of it until the issue locks. No one wonders whether the email arrived.
The strategy that makes the process easy.
Every brokerage sets its own thresholds once, at the start of the issue. From then on the asking price decides the page size, the page size decides how much an agent can write, and the print minimum follows from that. Move the price and watch it happen.
$4,250,000
Asking price
These numbers are a sample, to show how it could work. Yours are set in the first conversation and printed in the agent brief, so no one has to be told their listing is a quarter page. The number on the listing already said so.
Three sizes
A book, a brochure, or one listing
The same studio, the same typesetting and the same print standards at three scales. Most brokerages start at the bottom and work up.
01
Brokerage magazine
Your whole book, once a year. Every agent gets a page, every listing gets a size, and the issue carries your brand rather than a template's.
Look through the magazine 02
Multi-property brochure
One development, one portfolio, or a single agent's listings. Short, posted and handed out, reprinted whenever the inventory changes.
Open the Arbórea Villas brochure 03
Single-property brochure
One listing, laid out around the photography and the video. The buyer leaves the showing with something worth keeping.
Open The Eagle’s Nest brochure Pricing
Priced by the page
One rate, whatever is on the page. A full-page feature and an eighth-page listing cost the same per page, so the size of a listing is a layout decision rather than a billing one.
$85 USD
per page

On advertising
Some brokerages sell pages to cover the cost
Sponsor placements sold to local businesses can be put straight against the cost of the issue. Several brokerages cover the whole production cost this way. It is your relationship and your revenue, I do not sell or broker advertising, I lay out the pages you sell.
