Listing your property: a step-by-step guide for owners

Listing is free and open to anyone selling their own property. Putting a property up costs nothing — the commission you state is only ever paid if a sale actually happens.

Every listing is checked by a reviewer before it appears on the public map. Getting it right the first time is the difference between going live tomorrow and going round in circles.

Before you start

Have these ready before you open the form. Stopping halfway to look something up is how drafts get abandoned:

• The title deed — its type (hard, soft, strata, or none yet) and the registered size.
• The real land and building size in square metres, matching the documents rather than what the neighbours say.
• Photos — at least one, taken in daylight, of the actual property.
• The exact location, so you can drop the map pin on the right parcel.
• A phone number buyers can reach you on.

You also need an account. If you signed up as a buyer you can still list — the owner desk is on your dashboard.

Step 1 — Create the draft

From your dashboard choose List property. What you save first is a draft: private, visible only to you and an administrator, and safe to leave half-finished. Nothing is public until you submit it and a reviewer approves it.

You can come back and edit a draft as many times as you like.

Step 2 — Describe the property

• Title — English is required, Khmer is optional. Write what it is and where it is, not a sales pitch.
• Description — up to 8,000 characters in each language. Cover what a buyer cannot see in the photos: road access, water and power, the neighbours, what is included in the sale.
• Property type — land, farmland, house, villa, condo, apartment, shophouse, commercial building or warehouse.
• Sizes — land size, building size, bedrooms, bathrooms and floors, as they apply.
• Title deed type — hard title, soft title, strata title, or no title yet. Say what is true. Buyers filter on this, and a wrong answer wastes everybody's time.

If writing is the part you dread, the form can draft a description for you and translate between English and Khmer. It fills the fields in; you still read them and correct anything wrong before you submit.

Step 3 — Set your price and commission

Asking price in US dollars, and whether you are open to negotiation. You can change the price later, but every change is recorded and the price history is public — buyers see drops. That is deliberate: a visible drop is what makes a watching buyer act.

Commission rate is asked once, when you create the listing. It is what you pay if an agent brings the buyer. It must be between 0.5% and 5%, and 3% is the published standard.

State it now rather than leaving it open. A stated rate is what lets agents see their side of the deal and bring buyers to you. Leaving it to be agreed once a buyer is already interested is how it gets negotiated down.

After creation the rate is locked to the listing agreement. Changing it means a new agreement, not a form edit.

Step 4 — Place it on the map

Province is required and comes from a list. District and commune are optional, but they help buyers filter.

The map pin is required and must be inside Cambodia. Drag it onto the actual parcel or building — not the nearest junction, not the middle of the village. Map search is how most buyers browse, so a pin in the wrong place means the right buyer never sees the listing at all.

Step 5 — Add photos

At least one photo is required before you can submit for review. A listing with one honest photo beats a listing with none by a distance.

• Up to 20 photos, as JPG, PNG or WebP, each up to 8 MB.
• If your photos are large, upload them in batches of five or six rather than all at once — one very large upload can be refused by the server.
• Every photo is automatically turned the right way up, scaled down so pages load quickly, and stamped with the site watermark, so a copy lifted onto another portal still carries the source.
• The first photo becomes the cover. You can change the cover, reorder photos or delete them at any time.

Drone shots, walkthrough video embeds and virtual staging can be added from the listing's media page once the draft exists.

Step 6 — Flag an urgent sale (optional)

If you need a fast sale you can say so. The flag puts the listing in front of buyers who are specifically looking for urgent sales.

Turning it on requires a reason: relocating, moving abroad, settling a debt, inherited property, raising business capital, medical expenses, a family or divorce settlement, or other. You can add a short note, and a sale deadline, which must be a future date.

Disclosing why you are selling is your choice — nothing forces you to flag it. But marking a sale urgent when it is not, to gain placement, is a policy breach and gets the listing rejected.

Step 7 — Contact details

Your name and phone are pre-filled from your account. You can add Telegram and WhatsApp, or give different contact details for this listing.

Enquiries reach you through the platform inbox as well as your phone, so you keep a record of who asked what and when.

Step 8 — Submit for review

Submitting moves the listing from Draft to Pending Review. We usually approve within 24 hours.

Two things stop a submission before it even reaches the queue: no photo, and identity verification when that requirement is switched on.

A reviewer then checks that:

• The listing is not a duplicate. A submission is flagged when it shares a title deed number with another listing, or sits within 60 metres of another listing of the same property type.
• The pin is on a real, plausible location inside Cambodia.
• The photos are genuine photos of the property.
• The size, title type and location agree with each other.

High-value listings may additionally need a verified hard title before they can go live, when that requirement is switched on.

If the listing is rejected you are told why. Fix what was raised and submit again — a rejected listing returns to draft, it is not deleted.

After it goes live

Once approved, the listing appears on the map and in search, gets its own QR code and share image, is matched against buyers' saved searches, and may be pushed to the platform's social channels.

From then on:

• Enquiries and viewing requests arrive in your inbox, and offers are recorded against the listing.
• The listing has its own analytics page showing views and engagement — useful evidence when you are deciding whether the price is the problem.
• Verifying your identity earns the Verified Owner badge; uploading the title deed earns Title Verified. Verified listings get taken more seriously.
• You can put a live listing to auction if you would rather sell to a deadline. See Selling by auction.

A live listing stays on the map for 90 days. About 10 days before it expires you get a reminder with a renew button, and renewing resets the clock. Reserved, sold and auction listings never expire.

What gets a listing rejected

• Property you do not own, or have no right to sell.
• A duplicate of a listing already on the platform — yours or somebody else's.
• A map pin that is not on the property.
• No genuine photo, or photos carrying phone numbers, logos or links added to bypass the platform.
• An urgent flag with no genuine reason behind it.
• A price you would not actually accept, posted to attract enquiries.

Repeated or serious breaches can suspend the account. The full rules are in the Posting Policy for Owners.

Editing, renewing and deleting

• Edit a listing at any time until it is sold. Price changes go into the public history.
• A sold listing can no longer be edited.
• Live, reserved and sold listings cannot be deleted — mark them Sold or Expired instead, so the record survives.
• Drafts, rejected and expired listings can be deleted outright.
