When we launched Out East this year, our goal was to give Hamptons home hunters a beautiful new way to search for Hamptons real estate. Now, that same experience is coming to agents. Until today, as a Hamptons agent, you posted your listings on HREO. We’ve now taken all of those tools, given them a fresh new look and a more seamless flow, and put them right here on Out East.
How to Manage Listings
If you’ve posted listings on HREO, all of the same fields you used there will apply here. To get started, log in to your agent account and select “Agent Tools” at the top of your screen. From the dropdown, select “My Listings,” and you’ll be taken to a screen where you can manage your listings.
On this screen, you’ll see your listings, divided in to tabs by Sales, Rentals and Land. If you’d like to edit an existing listing, you’ll do so with the edit option on the right side of each listing card. You’ll be taken to the edit listing screen, where you can change any information. From here, you can save a draft or publish straight to Out East.
How to Create a New Listing
Once you’re logged in and looking at your listings page, you’ll see a big “Create Listings” button on the bottom of your screen. When you select that, you’ll choose whether this is a sale, rental or land listing. After that, before you can set up a new listing, you must choose an address that we have in our system — don’t worry, we’ll auto-populate accepted addresses once you start typing.
After you’ve put in a property’s address, you’ll be taken to the editing tool to fill in all the details. From here you can set the price, property details, amenities, and a title or description of the home. You’ll also be able to add photos (and drag and drop them in the order you want), videos of virtual tours, schedules for open houses, and even notes and references for internal use by your team.
This is also the place where you’ll set the exclusivity of your listing. Each listing can only have one exclusive agent on it, unless it is a co-exclusive or open listing. Please note that if you claim a listing as your exclusive, it will remove any other open listings currently live on Out East. And if there is already an exclusive claimed at an address by another agent, you won’t be able to post a listing there. If there’s an issue with a specific listing’s exclusivity, please reach out to Out East support.
Ready to Get Started?
The new tool is live and ready to go. You should have received an email with a link to reset your password, and after you do that, you’ll have access. You can also access the new tool straight from the browser on your smartphone or tablet. We’re going to be adding more tools and capabilities in the future, so stay tuned for even more flexibility. And of course, if you have any questions or didn’t receive the email from us, please reach out to our support team.
