Objective:
In this article, we will walk you through the full step-by-step process of creating a listing within PropertyStack. This guide will help you add key features such as amenities, location, and cleaning fees before making a listing live.

Note: If you choose to leave the listing creation halfway through, you can come back and update the listing at any time in onboarding
