Create a new Account

Before you can list properties on Cariblist, you will need an account, whether you are an agent or an individual listing your own property
If you are an Agent, you will need to have a logo that is 50 pixels wide x 60 pixels high, and a banner which is 60 pixels high and 500 pixels wide
These images can be proportionally bigger - the logo can be 150 x 180, the banner can be 180 x 1500, or any other size, as long as the proportions
are the same. Images should be at 72 pixels/inch resolution, and can be .jpg, .gif or .png format.

The steps to create an account are as follows:

- Click on the red Login/Register button and select the black box that says 'I want to register to list Properties'
- For Individual listers, check the 'Individual' button, and complete the information required. Mandatory fields are marked with a red '*'
- When you are done, click 'Create' at the bottom of the page. The system will send a confirmation email to your email address and you will
   need to click the Activate link before you can use the account.

- For Agents the process is similar. You select the 'Agent' button and complete the information required.
- In addition to the information needed for an individual, you will be asked for a Company Name, and a primary and secondary logo. The primary
   logo is the smaller of the two images, the secondary is the banner as described above. To upload these, click on the 'Choose File' button
   browse your computer until you locate the logo, click on the filename and press Enter, then click the 'Upload' button. Do the same for
   the secondary logo.
- As above for individuals, you will need to activate your account using the link in the confirmation email
