Co-Listings
Co-listing allows multiple agents to be associated with the same property listing. This is common when agents from the same or different agencies collaborate on a sale or when a property is listed with multiple agents.
How Co-Listing Works
Every property listing has a primary agent — the agent who created the listing or was designated as the lead. Additional agents can be added as co-listing agents (secondary agents) through the co-listing request process.
Requesting Co-Listing Access
Duplicate Detection
When creating a new listing, ListHouze automatically checks for existing listings at the same address. If a matching property is found, a Duplicate Property Modal appears offering the option to request co-listing access instead of creating a duplicate.
The duplicate check compares street address, suburb, and postcode. The results include details about the existing listing: primary agent name and photo, agency/brand name, listing status, number of agents already on the listing, and whether a co-listing request can be made.
Sending a Request
- Navigate to Co-Listing Requests in the agent portal sidebar, or encounter the duplicate modal during listing creation.
- From the Request Co-Listing Dialog, search for a property by address, suburb, or headline.
- Select a property and write an optional message explaining why you should be added.
- Click Send Request.
Request Statuses
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
pending | Request has been sent and is awaiting the primary agent's response |
approved | Primary agent approved the request. Co-listing access is granted. |
rejected | Primary agent declined the request |
expired | Request was not responded to before the expiry date |
cancelled | The requesting agent cancelled their own request |
Auto-Approval
In some cases, co-listing requests may be auto-approved (e.g., when agents are from the same agency).
Managing Incoming Requests
Primary agents receive co-listing requests and can manage them from the Co-Listing Requests page or the dashboard panel.
Viewing Requests
Incoming requests show the requesting agent's name, photo, and email, the property they want to co-list on, the request message (if provided), and the request date. A badge on the sidebar navigation shows the count of pending requests (refreshed every 30 seconds).
Approving a Request
- Review the incoming request.
- Optionally add a response message.
- Click Approve.
Approval creates a link between the requesting agent and the property with is_primary: false and creates a default permissions record.
Rejecting a Request
- Review the incoming request.
- Optionally add a response message explaining the rejection.
- Click Reject.
Co-Listing Permissions
When a co-listing request is approved, the primary agent can configure granular permissions for the co-listing agent.

| Permission | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Manage Open Homes | Off | Create, edit, and cancel open home inspections for the property |

Updating Permissions
- Navigate to the co-listing management section.
- Find the co-listed agent and click Manage Permissions.
- Toggle individual permissions on or off.
- Click Save to apply changes.

Info
Removing a Co-Lister
The primary agent can remove a co-listing agent at any time:
- Navigate to the co-listing management section for the property.
- Click Remove next to the co-listing agent.
- Confirm the removal.
The removed agent will no longer see the property in their listings dashboard.
