Step-by-Step: How to Post a Service Offer

1. Log In with the Right Role

Ensure your account is set to either:

Service Professional
Estate Agency (with a verified agency profile)

If you're logged in under a different role, switch it via:

Click your profile icon
Go to Profile Settings > Switch Role
Select the correct role

2. Complete Your Profile

Go to the Profile section and fill out:

Your name or agency name
Description, job title, and company info
Contact details such as business email and phone
Upload a profile photo or agency logo
Optional: Add ID verification for increased trust

A complete profile helps build credibility and improves how your offers are displayed.

3. Go to “Leads” and Set Up Your Services

Click on the Leads tab from your dashboard. This is where you configure what services you offer and where you operate.

Fill out your lead settings by:

Selecting your service categories
Adding the locations or regions you serve
Choosing your preferred lead type (one-off jobs, ongoing support, etc.)

✅ This setup is required to appear in service matches and receive leads.

4. Activate Your Offer

Once you've added your services and coverage areas in Lead Settings, your offers become active and will:

Appear on your public profile
Be matched with incoming service requests from users
Trigger lead notifications when there’s a match

What Happens Next?

You’ll get matched with users who need your services
They can send you direct enquiries or requests
You can respond through Matchouse chat and negotiate terms

Leads are sorted by location, service type, and how closely your offer matches the user's needs.

Estate Agencies Can Offer Services Too

Verified agency accounts can also post offers such as:

EPCs, floorplans, and professional photography
Inventory and check-in/out services
Pre-tenancy cleaning and inspections

These services are managed through the agency’s Leads and Team sections, not as individual profiles.

FAQs

Can I post multiple service types?

Yes — you can add multiple service categories in your lead settings and manage offers by area or specialisation.

Can I remove or pause my offer?

Yes. Simply remove or adjust categories and locations in Lead Settings.

I registered as a Service Professional and chose “estate agent” — do I get agency tools?

No. That only adds “estate agent” as a category. You must switch to the Estate Agency role and submit your business profile for verification to access full agency tools.

Are my offers public?

Yes. Your offers appear on your public profile and are used for lead matching unless set to private visibility.
