Overview

You can create a listing for a vacant unit in DoorLoop and publish it to multiple partner sites — including Zillow, Apartments.com, and Zumper — from one place. To list a unit, you'll need to add its photos, amenities, and unit details through the Unit Listing Wizard.

Note: The Online Listings feature is not available to Starter Plans. Consider upgrading to the Pro or Premium Plans to access this feature. The AI Assistant for Unit Listings is available to our Pro and Premium tiers as a paid add-on. For more information about DoorLoop's AI Assistant package, click here.

Our current listing partners also do not allow the listing of commercial properties. This means online listing features in DoorLoop will not be available for commercial properties.

New AI Assistant-Enabled Features
(Optional Add-on)

DoorLoop's AI Assistant is an optional add-on that generates property and unit description text for your listings, based on the details you've already entered (photos, amenities, size, etc.).

Unlike third-party AI tools, DoorLoop's AI Assistant has direct access to your property and unit's actual details when generating text.
You can edit any AI-generated description before publishing.

For more information about DoorLoop's AI Assistant package, read the following article on how the AI Assistant works within the Unit Listings Wizard: AI Assistant in the Unit Listings Wizard.

The Steps

Step 1 - Starting the Unit Listing Wizard

To list unit with one of our online listing partners, click on Leasing > Listings on the main menu.
Find the unit you want to list and click "List Unit" under the Listing Visibility column of the unit.
This will begin the Unit Listing Wizard. Continue to step 2.

Note: You must have a valid and verified Merchant Account set up on DoorLoop in order to list with our partner listing websites.

Tip: Depending on whether this is a Single-Family property type or not, you will get slightly different options here. For single-family homes, you will not get the option to add Unit Details or Unit Highlights.

Step 2 - Enter the Property Details

You will first need to enter the Property Details that the unit sits on. This will include the Property Name, Property Photos, and the Property Amenities.
Enter the Property Name. Use something recognizable and unique to the property, such as the address or name of the development.
Next, add the Property Photos. Only add photos of the exterior of the property here. These should not be duplicates of the Unit photos. Photos of the inside of the unit will be added in the next step. However, if you are listing a Single Family home, add all your photo here, including the interior.

You can delete photos by clicking on the trash can icon, or re-arrange photos by clicking and holding on a photo briefly until you are able to move it. The photo furthest to the left will be the thumbnail photo for the unit.

Image Requirements (Recommended):
- maximum dimensions allowed for an image is 2048 x 1536 pixels
- minimum dimension of 1024 x 768 pixels
- largest file size that can be uploaded is 25 MB.
Lastly, enter the Property Amenities. For the Property Amenities section, use the checkbox next to the each amenity included in this property. You must add at least one amenity and the amenities here are generally for amenities that are on the outside of the unit. If they don't appear here, they may be under the Unit's amenities list.
Click Next to continue.

Tip: Single-Family property types will need to enter Property Details here that include the property's Size, Beds, and Baths. This information is required for listing. Skip to Step 3b if listing a Single-Family home.

Step 3a - Enter the Unit Details

The next step is to add your Unit Details. This will include information such as the unit name, size, beds, baths, photos, and amenities.
Under the Unit Details section, enter a name for your Unit. This can be the unit number or anything else that makes it recognizable. Next, add the Unit's Size, how many Beds is has, and how many Baths it has. This information is required for listing. (Note that if you are listing a Studio apartment, you can set the number of Beds to 0.)
Now, it's time to add your Unit Photos. You can drag photos into this section or use the click here link to upload photos. Only add photos of the interior of the unit here. These should not be duplicates of the property photos that you added previously. Photos are required for online listings.

You can delete photos by clicking on the trash can icon, or re-arrange photos by clicking and holding on a photo briefly until you are able to move it. The photo furthest to the left will be the thumbnail photo for the unit.

Click Next to continue.

Step 3b - Enter the Home Details

For single family homes, the next step is to add your Home Details. This basically is just adding the Home Amenities.

- Asking Rent - The amount entered here is what shows in the listing as rent.
- Deposit - Enter the amount that will be needed as a deposit.
- Lease Terms - Enter the terms of the lease agreement here.
If you have multiple lease terms you want to offer for your rental, you can enable this feature and have it appear on your listing. Click the Enable Lease Terms Option toggle to turn this on. Once turned on, you can enter additional lease term options that appear on your listing.

Click Add Lease Terms too add additional lease terms, or use the Garbage Can Icon if you need to remove a lease term.
Click Next to move to the next step.

Step 5 - Enter Property Highlights (Optional AI Assistance)
