The 7-day advantage
Share your microsite once. For the next 7 days, every lead is yours.
When a client opens your microsite, hotdeals remembers them. If they come back any time in the following week and
act on anything — a resale listing, a developer project, an event — the enquiry lands in your inbox. Even
when the property isn't your own listing, your photo and profile are on the page, and the deal is yours to work.

Your home base
The Dashboard
The Dashboard is a single view of your account, profile, verification, listings and billing. Here's what every part does.
3.1Read your dashboard widgets
Four cards summarise your account at a glance:
The Dashboard — a single overview of your Profile, Subscription, Credits and Listings.
1Profile — your name, email, account type and profile-completion status, with a shortcut to view or edit it.
2Subscription — your current plan.
3Credits — credits used this month and your monthly allowance.
4Listings — a live count of your listings by status: Active, Draft, Pending review, Unpublished, Sold and Expired.
Agency user
You may see “No active subscription” and Credits: 0. That's expected — it does not limit your
access. Access is granted through your agency, so you can safely ignore both.
Individual user
You'll see your plan and a credit balance. Credits are consumed as you use the platform; top up from
the Credits / Top Up area when they run low.
3.2Your microsite & referral link
1 Under My Profile you get a personal microsite / referral link. Use Copy to grab it, or
edit it to a handle you prefer — availability depends on whether it's already taken. 2 Update your
profile photo with Change photo (JPG, PNG or GIF, up to 5 MB).
My Profile — your referral link, profile photo, and the start of your digital business card.
Referral reward
Share your link to earn 20% recurring commission on every agent
who signs up through it — track it from the referral dashboard.
3.3Digital business card
3 Click Generate digital card to build a branded contact card, then 4Open public
business card to view the shareable page.
Digital business card controls and your RERA verification status.
The public card shows 1 your contact details — tap-to-call, WhatsApp, email and website — and 2
a QR code that opens your microsite when scanned. Perfect for an email signature or a printed card.
Your public business card — a shareable page with tap-to-call, email, website and a scannable QR code.
3.4RERA verification
5 Your RERA verification status shows on your profile (e.g. Pending) alongside your licence
number.
To submit: 1 enter your licence number, 2 upload your licence document (PDF, JPG or PNG,
up to 10 MB), then 3 click Submit for verification. Review usually takes 1–2 business days.
Submit RERA verification — add your licence number and upload the licence document.
Individual user
Verification is required before you can list a property. Submit your RERA licence to unlock listing.
Agency user
You can ignore this step — listing access comes through your agency.
3.5Personal & contact details
1 Edit your personal information (name, email) and 2 your contact information (mobile,
WhatsApp) here.
Personal and Contact information. The Company field is fed by the source XML feed and is read-only.

feed and can't be edited here. As an agency user, changes you make to your details are sent for approval before they
go live.
3.6Languages & social links
1 Select the languages you speak and 2 add your website and social links. These extras
make your profile richer and more credible to buyers.
Languages spoken and social links — the details that make your profile richer.
04
Your branded page
The Microsite
Your microsite is your own branded, shareable property page. Visitors see exactly what you set here — headline, featured listings, resale deals, projects and events. Open My Microsite to begin.
4.1Search appearance — homepage branding
A The tab bar switches between every microsite setting. On Search appearance you control the
branding buyers and Google see:
1 the headline shown at the top of your page, and 2 the search result title (the blue link
in Google). Use the View live microsite button any time to preview the real page.
My Microsite → Search appearance. The tab bar switches between every microsite setting.
3 Add a yellow-highlighted phrase (an exact phrase from your headline), 4 write a
page description, 5 click Save search appearance, and 6 check the hero preview — a live
mock-up of your microsite with your catchy branding line.
Highlighted phrase, page description, Save, and a live preview of your microsite hero.
4.2Featured listings
1 The badge tracks how many you've featured (up to 10). 2 Use the advanced filters to
find listings by location, type, price and more.
Featured listings — filter the catalogue, tick the ones you want, then add them. Up to 10.
3 The Collaboration filter is powerful: alongside your own listings you can feature listings that
belong to other agents who've opened them for collaboration — and market them on your own microsite.
The Collaboration filter — choose listings that other agents have opened up for collaboration.
4 Tick the checkbox on any card to feature it. Featured listings appear at the top of your microsite and
resale pages.
Tick the checkbox on any card to feature it. Your own listings and collaboration listings both qualify.
5 This is how featured listings surface on your live microsite — pinned at the top under Featured
Opportunities.
The result — featured listings surface at the top of your microsite under Featured Opportunities.
4.3Resale listing filter (saved preset)
Decide which resale deals appear on your microsite — your own, collaboration listings, or both. 1 Build a
filter, 2 give the preset a name, then 3Save preset.
Resale listing filter — build a filter, name it, and save it as the preset every visitor sees.
The preview confirms the preset before you save — here For sale · Apartment resolves to 419 matching
listings, saved as “apt for sale”. 3 Only the saved preset is applied to your microsite.
A saved preset in action: For sale · Apartment resolves to 419 matching listings, saved as “apt for sale”.
Rule of thumb
A preset = the single filter every visitor to your microsite
sees. Save the one you want live; leave it empty to show all resale deals.
4.4Featured projects
Pin developer projects to the top of your microsite. 1 The badge tracks how many are featured, 2 use the
filters to narrow by developer, status, price or delivery date, and 3 tick the projects to showcase, then add
them.
Featured projects — search developer projects, tick the ones to showcase, then add them.
4.5Microsite project filter & events
1 Save a live project filter to control which projects visitors see — for example, only DAMAC at a
particular price or status. 2 Name it and Save preset. 3 Under Featured events you can pick
project launches and events to display, so visitors register straight from your microsite.
Microsite project filter (saved preset for projects) and Featured events for launches.
05
Your inventory
Listings
Listings has three tabs — your own stock, inventory you collaborate on, and inventory others market for you. This is the heart of what you promote.
5.1My Listings & adding a listing
My Listings are the properties you own and manage — publish, edit and mark them sold. 1 Switch status with
the tabs (All, Published, Draft, Pending Review, Unpublished, Sold, Expired), 3 narrow the list with the advanced
filters, and 2 start a new one with + Add listing.
Listings → My Listings. Your own inventory, with status tabs, filters, and Add listing.
Individual user
Listings you create in hotdeals live here and are published to your website and microsite.
Agency user
Listings are captured from your CRM feed and shown here as a synced view. Manage them inside your respective
CRM — this page reflects what the feed sends.
Adding a listing.1 A private-draft notice reminds you the listing goes to the
CRM team for review and won't appear publicly or consume credits until approved. 2 A 5-step wizard walks you through
Property details → Photos → Documents → Deal details → Review, and 3 you fill each field as you go.
Create listing draft — a 5-step wizard. Drafts stay private for admin review and don't consume credits.
5.2Collaborations
1 The Collaborations tab is where you find inventory to market on your behalf and manage what you already
market. 2 Toggle between Available to collaborate and Already collaborating, then 3 filter
to find the right stock. Put another agent's listing on your own microsite and market it under your brand — you can
start, pause or stop a collaboration at any time.
Listings → Collaborations. Find inventory to market on your behalf, and manage what you already collaborate on.
Two filters do the heavy lifting here:
4Collaboration availability — choose Available to collaborate (open to you) or Private
(owner only).
5Seller covers commission — shows whether the seller's side of the commission is covered, so you know the
economics before you market it.
5.3Collaborated by Others
The third tab, Collaborated by Others, lists your properties that other agents are marketing on your behalf
— your listing, live on their microsites. If you want to pull one back, open the listing, edit it and remove it from
public; it stops appearing for collaborators.
Why collaborate
Collaboration turns the whole network into your inventory: you
market stock you don't own, and other agents extend the reach of yours. Every enquiry still returns to the marketing agent
whose microsite captured it.
06
Ready-made inventory
Developer deals & market tools
Beyond your own stock, hotdeals gives you thousands of developer units to market and the data to sell them.

and 3 median price per sq.ft by area (with year-on-year change) and the fastest-growing areas sit below, straight
from recorded transaction data.
Market Insights — real transaction data, yields and the fastest-growing areas, plus a full suite of calculators.
The calculators turn interest into commitment. 1 The Mortgage calculator takes purchase price, residency
status, down payment, term and rate, and 2 returns the estimated monthly payment plus the cash needed on day one —
following UAE residency rules. Mortgage, ROI, Rent-vs-Sale, Service Charges and Oqood calculators are all one click away.
