# How to Add Your First Property to a Portfolio?

### TL;DR
|| You can add properties to a PropWise portfolio by manually creating a listing or importing listings from URLs. These options accommodate most agent workflows, including off-market deals and quick imports from property portals.
---

### When to use this
Consider using this when:
* You’ve created a portfolio and wish to add properties to it.
* You’re handling off-market or private listings.
* You want to quickly import listings from real estate portals.
---

### Step-by-step instructions
Open the portfolio you wish to add properties to and select one of the options below. Both methods can be used within the same portfolio.

#### Option 1: Manual Entry (Best for off-market or exclusive listings)

1. Open your portfolio.
2. Click **+ Create Listing**.
3. Enter the property details:
* Address
* Price
* Property description
* Key characteristics (property type, bedrooms, bathrooms, size, features)
4. Upload photos or other media.
5. Save the listing.

| Best for: Off-market properties, private deals, or listings where you want full control over the description and presentation.

#### Option 2: Import from URL (Best for speed)

1. Open your portfolio.
2. Click **Import Listing**.
3. Select **From URL**.
4. Paste one or multiple listing links from property portals or real estate websites. (*note: Each URL has to be in a new row.)*
5. Confirm the import.

|| PropWise automatically extracts the available property data, which helps save time on manual entry.

| **Best for:** Quickly building portfolios from online listings and reducing repetitive data entry.

### Common issues & tips
* **Always review imported listings**  
  Auto-extracted data may require light editing (price formatting, descriptions, or photos).
* **Mix methods freely**  
  A single portfolio can include both manually created and URL-imported listings.
* **Quality over quantity**  
  Fewer, well-matched properties usually convert better than large unfiltered lists.
* **Buyer alignment check**  
  After adding properties, verify they match the buyer’s budget, location, and priorities.
