List Your Rental Property on Trade Me Directly from UnitHub

Finding quality tenants in New Zealand means listing on Trade Me Property - the country's largest property marketplace. But managing listings across multiple platforms is time-consuming and error-prone.

The traditional process: 1. Log into UnitHub to get your property details 2. Log into Trade Me separately 3. Manually copy and paste property information 4. Upload photos one by one 5. Keep both systems updated when anything changes

The new UnitHub way: 1. Click "List on Trade Me" from your property page 2. Review pre-filled details and click submit 3. Done - your listing is live

We've integrated Trade Me Property directly into UnitHub, so New Zealand landlords can create and manage Trade Me listings without leaving their property management dashboard.

The integration uses Trade Me's official API to create listings on your behalf. Here's what happens behind the scenes:

One-time setup: 1. Go to Settings > Integrations in UnitHub 2. Click "Connect to Trade Me" 3. Authorise UnitHub to create listings on your behalf 4. You're connected!

Creating a listing: 1. Navigate to any NZ property in UnitHub 2. Click the "Trade Me" card on the property page 3. Click "Create Listing" 4. Review the pre-filled form (title, address, bedrooms, photos) 5. Add weekly rent, description, and availability 6. Click "List on Trade Me"

Your photos are uploaded automatically, and the listing goes live within seconds. The listing appears under your Trade Me account - UnitHub just saves you the manual work.

What gets synced: - Property address and location - Number of bedrooms and bathrooms - Property type (house, apartment, townhouse, etc.) - All your property photos - Any details you've entered in UnitHub

Save time on every listing

No more copying and pasting between systems. Your property data flows directly from UnitHub to Trade Me. What used to take 15-20 minutes now takes 2 minutes.

Reduce errors

Manual data entry leads to mistakes - wrong addresses, missing photos, inconsistent information. When data syncs automatically, your listings are accurate every time.

Single source of truth

All your property information lives in UnitHub. Update it once, and it's correct everywhere. No more wondering which system has the latest details.

Professional listings

Pre-filled data means you're less likely to forget important details. Every listing includes the information tenants need to make decisions.

Track everything in one place

See your Trade Me listing status directly on your UnitHub property page. No need to log into Trade Me separately to check if your listing is live.

Trade Me charges fees for rental property listings. These fees are paid directly to Trade Me - UnitHub doesn't add any markup or take any commission.

Current Trade Me rental listing fees:

| Weekly Rent | Listing Fee | |-------------|-------------| | Under $400/week | $99 NZD | | $400 - $799/week | $129 NZD | | $800+/week | $149 NZD |

These are Trade Me's standard fees - the same as listing directly on their website. The UnitHub integration doesn't cost extra.

Premium listing options:

Trade Me offers upgraded listing packages (Silver, Gold) with better visibility. Currently, UnitHub creates standard listings. Premium options may be added in future updates.

Fee timing:

Listing fees are charged to your Trade Me account when you create the listing. You'll need a valid payment method on your Trade Me account.

Requirements: - A UnitHub account (free tier works) - A Trade Me account - At least one property in New Zealand

Step 1: Connect your Trade Me account

Go to Settings > Integrations and click "Connect to Trade Me". You'll be redirected to Trade Me to authorise the connection. This is a one-time setup.

Step 2: Add your NZ property

If you haven't already, add your property to UnitHub. Use the address autocomplete to ensure accurate location data - this is what determines whether the Trade Me option appears.

Step 3: Create your listing

Navigate to your property and look for the Trade Me card. Click "Create Listing", review the details, set your rent, and submit.

Step 4: Manage your listing

Your listing status appears on the property page. Click through to view it on Trade Me, or close it when you've found a tenant.

Does UnitHub appear on my Trade Me listing?

No. The listing appears under your Trade Me account, exactly as if you created it yourself. Tenants contact you directly through Trade Me.

Can I edit listings after creating them?

Currently, you'll need to edit listings directly on Trade Me. Full edit support from UnitHub is coming soon.

What if I already have a Trade Me listing?

The integration creates new listings - it doesn't sync existing ones. You can continue managing existing listings on Trade Me while creating new ones through UnitHub.

Is this available for Australian properties?

No, Trade Me is New Zealand only. The integration only appears for properties located in New Zealand. For Australian properties, we're exploring realestate.com.au integration.

What happens when I find a tenant?

Close your Trade Me listing (through Trade Me or UnitHub when supported), then add your new tenant to UnitHub to start managing rent collection, maintenance, and more.

Trade Me Property is essential for finding tenants in New Zealand. Now you can create Trade Me listings directly from UnitHub - no double data entry, no switching between platforms.

The integration is available now for all UnitHub users with NZ properties.
