|
|
 |
I see only portion of the site on my screen and have to scroll to see the rest. Why? |
| |
It is advised to have a screen resolution of 800 x 600 to have the full width of the page. Yet, it is normal to be able to view part of the page length only, and you have to scroll down to be able to view all information on the page.
| |
|
Do I have to enter my telephone number in listing a property? |
| |
When listing a property it is required that you enter your telephone number, and probably your mobile number. This is the way that clients will be able to contact you at, and bayti can send you SMS alerts to your mobile phone.
| |
|
How much does it cost me to list my property on bayti? |
| |
Listing your property is absolutely free. You only have to sign up once at bayti, and you will be able to list as many properties as you want, with up to 1 (one) property photo per listing. For added value services and advertising space, please contact support@bayti.com.
| |
|
Can I modify my listings? |
| |
Yes you can edit, modify, or delete your listing at your convenience.
| |
|
Can anybody else take my business if I list on bayti? |
| |
It is very unlikely. You are the contact for the listed property, and you are not asked to provide the owner name. To a viewer, you will be the only contact. It is the same scenario as a newspaper advertisement, except that it is free and more explicit.
| |
|
Is there any finder or commission fee for bayti? |
| |
NO. Selling and renting is purely between the property owner (or representative) and the party interested in buying or renting the property.
| |
|
How long does it take a property that I enter to be posted? |
| |
The listing process includes a verification stage by bayti in order to eliminate false and unacceptable listings. The successful listing takes normally 24 hours to be posted on the site.
| |
|
In which currency are prices listed? |
| |
Prices are listed in the currency chosen when the property listing was created. Currency converter is available to allow you to convert to the currency you desire. Prices are directly hyperlinked to the Currency Converter tool.
| |
|
What exactly is the difference between a property listing and a “wanted” listing? |
| |
If you desire to sell your property or rent it to someone, you list this property in the PROPERTY listing where people can see it. If you are looking to buy or rent a property you can put your requirements in the WANTED list where property owners or their representatives can see.
| |
|
If I enter property-related information in only one language, does that mean my property will never appear to users browsing bayti in the other language? |
| |
bayti features a unique and proprietary engine that guarantees information to be returned to the website visitor no matter what language the visitor chooses. Sometimes, a Property Details page would contain a combination of both languages.
| |
|
What is the reference code that appears in my listing’s details? I don’t recall being asked to enter one… |

|
Why is my mobile number required? |

| |
|
I entered my username and password and get an incorrect login message, why? |
| |
