How to
From sign-up to a live listing
The typical path for Stefan — private landlord, first vacancy:
- Sign up — enter your email address and password, accept the terms of service. Click the confirmation link sent to your inbox.
- Setup wizard — Locari guides you step by step: profile details, workspace name (e.g. "Müller Properties"), mailbox address setup.
- Create a property — address, features, rental units (e.g. 2nd floor apartment, 68 m², 850 € cold rent).
- Create and publish a listing — description, photos, selection criteria. Locari is active from the first application.
- Decide — Locari qualifies applicants and presents the best candidates to you. You choose.
Steps 1–3 typically take under 10 minutes. No credit card required to sign up.
Team workspace for multiple people
If you work with a team (e.g. property management with an assistant):
- Create the workspace in the setup wizard as a "Business" account (not as an individual).
- After setup: Settings → Team → Invite member.
- Enter your colleague's email address and choose a role.
More on team management: Settings → Team — inviting members, roles, removing members.
