Open for inspections

Open for inspections (OFIs) are the scheduled viewing times that appear on your portal listing. Prospective tenants use them to plan a visit, and the major rental portals expect at least one advertised time on an active listing.

You send inspection times from Manage listing once your listing is Live. Each one goes to the Propero team, who add it to your listing on realestate.com.au, Domain, and rent.com.au, usually within 24 hours.

Sending a time

1. Open the property hub and tap Update listing on the order status card.
2. Tap Add an open for inspection.
3. Set the Date, Starts, and Ends. Keep it short: 15 to 30 minutes is typical.
4. Tap Add inspection. You'll see "Request sent - we're on it."

Send as many times as you need, one at a time. Each request is a separate slot, and each appears on the portals once the team adds it.

Propero won't accept a start time that's already passed, or an end time before the start time.

Changing or cancelling a time

There's no way to edit or delete a time you've already sent. If a slot changes or is no longer going ahead, contact support and the team will pull it from the portals. Do it early, so you don't get enquiries for a time you can't honour.

Private inspections

Not every enquiry will come through a scheduled OFI. Renters may email or call to ask for a private viewing instead. Those enquiries arrive directly from the portals, the same way as general listing enquiries, and you're free to arrange a one-off time that works for both of you.

Tips for running an inspection

• Arrive early and make sure the property is accessible: keys, garage remotes, and any entry instructions are ready.
• If the property is still tenanted, give your current tenant reasonable notice before any inspection, and stick to the times you've advertised.
• Have your application process ready. Propero doesn't collect applications for you, so decide upfront how you'll handle references, ID checks, and lease signing.
• Log advertising costs under the Advertising expense category if you want them in your EOFY summary. See Income & expenses.
