DDM Verify is not a free-for-all listing site. Every property is reviewed by our operations team before it appears as verified on the public marketplace. Rejections slow everyone down — here is how to get approved on the first pass.
The reviewer checklist
When you submit a listing, we look for:
- Accurate title — plot or house number, ward, and a price in TZS that matches the segment (land vs finished house).
- Primary photo that shows the actual asset — not a stock image or a different project. Photos are watermarked automatically on upload to protect your media.
- Title deed or occupancy licence scan — readable, full page, not cropped so tightly we cannot read the plot number.
- Category-appropriate fields — bedrooms for homes, sqm and road access for land, parking for commercial.
Common rejection reasons
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Price says "negotiable" with no number | Enter a realistic asking price; note flexibility in description |
| Same plot listed twice | Withdraw duplicate or contact support to merge |
| Blurry deed photo | Rescan in daylight or upload PDF from lawyer |
| Wrong category | Land listed as apartment — change category before submit |
Video walkthroughs
Optional video tours help diaspora buyers. Videos receive the same DDM Verify watermark as photos. Keep clips under three minutes and show access road, boundaries, and structure — not only the living room.
After approval
- Respond to inquiries within 24 hours where possible.
- Honour viewing codes — buyers earn trust when agents confirm attendance properly.
- Update status if the property sells off-platform so buyers do not waste trips.
