To understand the roles of a managing and co-managing salesperson,
Managing Salesperson:
1. Creating and Editing Listing Details: The managing salesperson is responsible for creating the initial listing on the Resale Flat Listing Service. They enter all the necessary information about the flat, such as location, features, pricing, and other relevant details. They can also make edits to the listing if needed.
2. Scheduling Viewing Appointments: The managing salesperson handles the coordination of viewing appointments with potential buyers. They manage the calendar and schedule the appointments at mutually convenient times for both parties.
3. Deactivating/Reactivating Listings: If the flat is no longer available for sale or temporarily taken off the market, the managing salesperson can deactivate the listing. They can reactivate the listing when it becomes available again.
4. Managing Notification Settings: The managing salesperson can set preferences for receiving notifications and updates related to the flat listing, such as inquiries from potential buyers or changes in market conditions.
Co-managing Salesperson:
1. Adding Listing Descriptions: The co-managing salesperson can provide additional descriptions or details about the flat to enhance the listing. They can contribute information that highlights specific features or aspects of the property.
2. Scheduling Viewing Appointments: Similar to the managing salesperson, the co-managing salesperson can also schedule viewing appointments with potential buyers. They assist in coordinating the appointments and ensure smooth communication. However, it’s important to note that the co-managing salesperson does not have access to certain functions like editing listing details or managing notification settings, which are exclusively reserved for the managing salesperson. Please keep in mind that these roles may vary depending on the specific platform or agency you are using to list your flat. It’s always recommended to clarify the responsibilities with your property agent or refer to the specific guidelines provided by the platform you are using.
