When you finish creating a listing, it starts as Inactive — no syndication has happened, no public URL exists, and leads can’t book showings. Activation publishes the listing everywhere it needs to go.

​
Open the property

Go to Listings → click the property address. You’ll land on the Individual Property page at app.rentsmart.com/individual-property?property_id=.... The header shows an INACTIVE pill and an Activate Property button (red). Click it.

Listing Description

Either write your description manually or use the AI Listing Description Generator:
  • Style — Professional, Friendly, Trendy, or Direct
  • Length — Short, Medium, or Long
  • Advanced options (optional) — paste your own past listings as a style reference, add custom instructions, or include a screening-criteria summary at the bottom
AI generation takes 30–90 seconds. You can regenerate as many times as you want, or hand-edit the result.
AI-generated content can contain errors. Always review before publishing.

Final activation choices

Pick:
  • Showing Type — Self-Access (lockbox-based, unattended) or In-Person (attended). This locks in at activation. To change it later, you’ll need to deactivate first.
  • Assign a Lockbox — only shown if you chose Self-Access. Pick from your available (Unassigned) lockboxes. If you have none, you’ll need to buy or link one before activating with Self-Access.
Two extras below the form:
  • Download QR Code — print and place inside the property to give leads a quick way to start a Profile
  • Listing Page URL — copy your Public Listing Page URL for use on external sites
Click Activate Property to publish.
