Properties and briefs

Adding a property

Go to the workspace Properties tab and click Add (or Add Property on an empty workspace).

The drawer offers two ways in:

Search address — start typing into Property address and pick a suggestion from the list. You have to pick one from the results; typing an address without selecting it will not do.

Paste link or address — paste a realestate.com.au, Domain or REIWA link, or just a property address, then click Find property. Marketli pulls what it can from the page and asks you for anything the listing does not show.

Either way you land on a confirmation step where you can check and edit the bedrooms, bathrooms, car spaces, land size and property type. You may also see an Estimated value panel, which is for reference only and based on recent comparable sales.

Some listing pages hide the street address. When that happens you get Got this from the link and a prompt to add the street address yourself to finish. You can also save the listing details now and add the address later.

Click Add Property. Anything still missing gets filled in automatically afterwards.

You can also save listings straight from the listing page using the Chrome extension — see The mobile app and Chrome extension.

Viewing saved properties

The Properties tab has a List view / Board view toggle, and your choice sticks on that device. The board columns are New, Shortlist, Home Open, Offer and Reject.

Briefs

A brief is a saved statement of what a buyer wants, used to match properties to them. In the client's own words: a brief tells us what you're looking for so we can match properties.

Briefs live on buying workspaces, and one workspace can hold several — useful when someone is looking at two very different options.

Creating one

1. Open the workspace Briefs tab.
2. Click Create your first brief (or Add another brief).
3. The editor opens on the blank brief. It saves as you go.

What goes in a brief

• Brief name — something like Inner West family home.
• Target Suburbs — added one at a time, shown as removable chips.
• Preferences, behind its own Edit button:
  • Why You're Buying — first home, upsizing, investment.
  • What matters most in your next home? — tappable priority chips.
  • Budget Range — minimum and maximum.
  • Property Types, Bedrooms, Bathrooms, Minimum Car Spaces, Features.
  • Notes.
• Briefing Documents — upload PDFs, Word documents or images.

Sharing with the Marketli Network

The owner of a brief can turn on Share with Marketli Network, which makes it visible to licensed buyer's agents. Read the explainer on the toggle before switching it on — it is a consent decision, not a display setting. Once on, the brief is labelled Shared with Marketli Network.

Reading and archiving

Tapping a brief opens a read-only view with the locations, requirements, must-have features and buying motivation, plus Edit Brief and Archive Brief.

Archiving hides the brief from the list and stops matches being generated from it. You can restore it later from the archive.

If your buyer has engaged a buyer's agent, the agent manages the brief — the client sees Brief Managed by Your Agent when they try to edit it themselves.
