Can I import my existing property data into AgentSafe?

Yes, AgentSafe’s bulk upload feature allows users to import the property data from an exported file. This tool is intended to quickly bulk upload properties into AgentSafe, but should be used with care and in consultation with your AgentSafe account manager. However, we often advise subscribers as a starting point, to enter property details into AgentSafe after carrying out the initial inspection using both the WHS and PSR Checklists. This prevents having to bulk upload all properties immediatelty into AgentSafe - causing unnessary delays managing tasks and rectifying problems in relation to non-compliance.
