A good property ad answers the questions every tenant or buyer asks before calling: where exactly, how much, since when and on what terms. Owners who put these facts up front get fewer time-wasting calls and fill their room or flat faster. Here is how to write and manage the ad.

Details to put in a rent ad

Type and size: room, 1 BHK, 2 BHK, PG bed, shop. Floor, whether there is a lift and parking, and furnishing in plain words (unfurnished, semi, fully).
Monthly rent, security deposit, maintenance and whether electricity and water are separate. Hidden costs cause arguments later.
Area and nearest landmark, but keep the exact flat number private until you meet a serious person.
Who it suits: family, bachelors, students, working women, and any rules on pets, guests or timings. Being clear saves both sides time.
Available from which date.

Details to put in a sale ad

Area in square feet, carpet or built-up, floor, age of the building and facing.
Asking price and whether it is negotiable, plus ownership type and loan or society status.
Papers available: sale deed, property tax receipt, society NOC. Never publish copies of your documents in the ad.

Photos that bring serious people

Take 6 to 10 photos in daylight: living area, each bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, balcony and the building entrance. Clean and tidy before you shoot.
Show the real condition. A small crack that you disclosed is better than one the tenant discovers on the visit.
Do not use photos from other listings or the internet. It breaks the rules and loses trust.

Posting steps

Create an account, open Sell and choose the Property category, then pick rent or sale.
Add the details above, the photos, the price and the city and area, then preview and post.
Reply quickly, show the property in daylight and ask to see a photo ID of a prospective tenant before agreeing.
Mark the ad as rented or sold when done.

Agreement and safety basics

Use a written rent agreement. In India an 11-month agreement is common; check the registration rules for your state.
Collect the deposit by traceable payment against a written receipt, and note the meter readings and condition on handover.
Check whether the local police verification of tenants is required in your city and complete it if so.
Beware of anyone who wants to pay a large advance and send a courier or cheque, or who refuses to see the place.

Safety tips

Meet in a public, well-lit place and, where possible, take someone with you.
Inspect the item before you pay and check it matches the listing.
Never pay in advance, share OTPs, or move payment outside the agreed meeting.
Keep contact through the listing page — contact details are privacy-gated in the app.
Report suspicious sellers instead of continuing the conversation.

Frequently asked questions

Is it free to post a property ad?

Yes, posting is free. Optional paid plans only add visibility.

Can brokers and dealers post too?

Yes, but state clearly that you are a broker and mention any brokerage in the description so the tenant is not surprised.

How do I stop time-wasters?

State rent, deposit and rules in the ad. People who do not agree with them will not call, so the calls you get are more serious.
