Introduction
Listing your properties on SEE IT HERE FIRST is a great way to differentiate your agency, win instructions, and show homeowners you will do what it takes to get their property sold.
The real results come when SEE IT HERE FIRST is shared proactively, not treated as a passive portal. In this guide, we will walk you through how to get the most out of SEE IT HERE FIRST, encourage more booked viewings, and position it as a benefit for both homeowners and buyers.
1. Automate Emails at Key Moments
Link to seeitherefirst.co.uk in emails sent to buyers and vendors when:
- A viewing is booked
- A viewing is cancelled
- A valuation is booked
- An offer is rejected

- A buyer registers or updates their criteria
This can be done inside your CRM. If yours are not automated, set this up in any template emails or communication you use.
Why This Works

2. Share After Viewings
When following up after a viewing:
- Share SIHF as a way to see what is coming next
