Digital property window: your portfolio on the office screen, always up to date.

It is a screen in the agency's window that shows properties from its portfolio, instead of printed sheets stuck to the glass. Its advantage is that it can be updated without going outside and can be seen at night. Its risk is the same as a paper window's: if it is not kept up, it shows properties that are no longer available, and passers-by lose trust.

That is why the FixrOS window reads from the portfolio: the price on screen is the price on the listing. When a property goes under offer or is let, you remove it from the selection in one click.

Window, sign or ad: it is all advertising, and in Spain advertising homes for sale or rent to consumers has its own rules. Three worth keeping in mind:

• Royal Decree 515/1989 applies to offers, promotion and advertising of homes for sale or rent by professionals. Its article 3 requires that advertising does not mislead or omit key information, and states that the details about the home included in advertising are enforceable even if they are not in the contract. An outdated price in the window is no small matter.
• Royal Decree 390/2021 on energy performance certification states in article 15.2 that the energy efficiency label must be included in every offer, promotion and advertisement for the sale or rental of a building or part of it. That includes the window display.
• In Catalonia, agents registered in the Register of Real Estate Agents must display the official badge, at least on a sign visible to the public, on stationery and in any kind of advertising.

The «for sale» sign on the balcony still works, especially in neighbourhoods where people buy to live. Two practical tips: record in the listing agreement that the owner authorises the sign, and log every sign put up with its date. Once the property sells, a forgotten sign keeps bringing calls you can no longer serve, and makes the agency look bad to neighbours and the owner.

The property portal is one of the 6 apps in the FixrOS ecosystem and is coming soon. It is designed to show each home's approximate area rather than its exact address, because publishing the exact point reveals where someone lives and when the home may be empty. In the meantime, you give out the address once the prospect is a named contact and the viewing is in the viewing calendar.

If your agency also manages the rentals it lets, the Portfolio module works with the same properties: the flat in the window today has its contract, receipts and owner statement tomorrow.
