When you share a Zillow or MLS link, you’re sending buyers somewhere with competing listings, ads, and contact forms that may route to other agents. A dedicated listing website gives the property its own address, like 123mainstreet.boldly.site, with your name, your contact info, and a lead form that goes directly to you.
It also just looks more professional. For sellers evaluating whether to work with you, that’s not a small thing.
Just the PDF from your MLS. Depending on your platform it might be called a Client Full Report, Client Detail, Client View, or Property Info sheet. Any of those work.
Supported platforms include:
If your MLS exports a PDF, Boldly can read it. The Client Full Report is the right file. You do not need the Agent Full Report.
Upload the PDF. Go to app.boldlyhq.com/upload and upload your file, or email it to upload@boldly.site. Boldly reads the PDF and pulls out the address, price, beds, baths, square footage, lot size, year built, description, photos, and your agent contact info. No retyping anything.
Review the draft. In a few seconds you’ll have a draft listing site in your dashboard with everything pre-filled. From there you can:
123mainstreet.boldly.site)Add your agent profile. Your name, headshot, DRE number, and contact info show up on the listing site.
That’s the MLS PDF to listing website part. Lead capture, QR codes, and open houses all get added on top of this.
Before publishing, make sure lead capture is turned on. Buyers on your listing site can submit their name, email, and phone, request a tour with a specific date and time, and leave you a message.
You get an email notification for each submission. All leads are saved in your Boldly dashboard where you can search, filter, and export them to your CRM.
The tour request form tends to surface the most serious buyers. Someone who picks a date and time is further along than someone who just browsed photos. Learn more about how lead capture works →
When you’re ready, hit publish. The listing goes live instantly at its custom URL.
You’ll also get a printable QR code that links to the listing page. Good places to use it:
Buyers who scan it land on your listing page with your contact info and lead form, not a portal.
Your listing page doubles as a digital open house sign-in sheet. Add your open house dates in the dashboard and two things happen automatically.
Before the event, an RSVP button appears on the listing page. Buyers who plan to attend can register in advance with their name, email, and phone number. Pre-event RSVPs help you gauge interest and give you a contact list before the first visitor walks through the door.
During the event, the button switches to a Sign In form. Pull up the listing page on a tablet at the door and attendees sign in directly on the page. No paper sheets to transcribe later, no clipboard to misplace.
Every RSVP and sign-in is saved to your Boldly dashboard as a lead alongside your other contact form submissions. You get an email notification for each one in real time. After the open house, you have a clean list of everyone who attended or expressed interest, ready to export or follow up with directly.

Once the listing is live:
Open house schedule. Add dates and times so buyers can see the schedule on the listing page.
3D tour or Matterport. Paste in a Matterport URL and the virtual tour embeds on the page.
Listing flyer PDF. Download a print-ready flyer with the photo, price, key details, your agent info, and the QR code.
Custom domain. Connect your own domain if you want 123mainstreet.yourdomain.com instead of a boldly.site subdomain.
Before Boldly, creating a property website meant hiring someone, copying MLS data into a page builder by hand, or spending an exorbitant amount on IDX software.
Now it takes the same listing PDF you were already exporting and turns it into something useful. Upload it, review the draft, publish. Your listing site is live, collecting leads, and ready for your next open house.

]]>My mission has always been the same: to earn independently so I can spend my time freely. My background includes running a web agency, founding a startup to mild success, and years of freelancing and contract work interspersed in between.
With Boldly, I will do at least 3 things differently:
While I wholeheartedly enjoy building, learning, and collaborating, my most valued sources of joy today are leisure time with my family and giving movement time to myself. My goal is to build a sustainable business so I can spend more time doing the things that bring me joy.
Building a business with intentionality for me means to build based on a few guiding principles. Having certain metrics and financial goals are important, but for a meaningful work-life, I will make sure:
I’m amassed quite a bit of knowledge from working with startups and having gotten a bit of traction with my first startup. I will do my best not to make the same mistakes I’ve made and observed in others.
The most important lesson I’ve already put into practice is to not touch a single line of product code or build a feature until I’ve talked to potential customers. This has been the toughest lesson to learn and to integrate into my existence since I have always seen myself as a “technical founder”; I like to build.
I’m not one to post much online about my comings and goings, and I’ve managed to survive building on the web without much of it so far. Moving forward though, I will commit to sharing the highs and lows of starting, navigating, and building a business online.
There is the vulnerability element of talking about failure (and even success in some way), but I’ve found it helpful from the “build in public” crowd and hopefully I can help someone with the story of my journey as well.
As much as I can and is reasonable, I will also share the wins and losses around metrics and financial targets.
I’m excited for all the twists and turns I expect to encounter on this new endeavor.
From this moment forward, I’m no longer a developer, or engineer, or designer, or a product person necessarily. More so than before, I’m the whatever-needs-to-be-done-for-the-business-to-succeed person now.
You’re welcome to follow along with me on Twitter and through my newsletter.
