First-day checklist

  1. Open `/host` and complete listing essentials.
  2. Add high-quality media and precise location details.
  3. Ensure description clearly states rent terms and expectations.
  4. Submit for approval and monitor review outcomes.
  5. Check `/requests` if you want to respond to live seeker demand.

Visibility rules that matter

  • Listings must satisfy approval and active status to appear publicly.
  • Demo listings are excluded from normal public discovery for non-admin viewers.
  • Featured status boosts exposure but does not bypass core visibility rules.
  • Property Requests only show responder-eligible, open demand; seeker contact details stay private.

Demo listings quick start

  • Use demo listings for walkthroughs, training inventory, or non-live showcase content only.
  • Set them in the listing editor under `Basics` with `Mark as demo listing`.
  • Badge and watermark presentation come from admin settings:
  • `Demo` badge can appear on cards and detail pages
  • `DEMO` image watermark can appear when enabled
  • If a demo listing is unexpectedly visible or hidden, an admin should confirm the current demo visibility policy in `/admin/settings`.

Where to operate

  • `/host`: listing management, featured request actions, payment history panel.
  • `/home`: workspace snapshot + discovery rails.
  • `/requests`: property request board for eligible responder workflows.
  • `/profile`: manage responder email alerts for new property requests.
  • `/admin/featured/requests` (admin only): request queue and decisions.

Featured requests and pricing are workflow controls, not automatic guarantees. Quality still drives conversion.
