Add a "Hidden" Listing Status
It would be extremely helpful to have a "Hidden" option for listings that temporarily removes a property from all advertising portals while keeping the listing active in GrowCRM.
Current Issue
At the moment, unticking the advertising portals does not always remove the property from all websites. In some cases, the listing continues to appear on portals even after the portals have been unticked, resulting in properties remaining publicly visible when they should be hidden.
The only alternative is to withdraw the listing, which isn't ideal.
Proposed Solution
Introduce a "Hidden" status or toggle that:
- Immediately hides the property from all connected advertising portals.
- Keeps the listing active within GrowCRM.
- Allows users to republish the property with a single click when required.
- Prevents the property from being withdrawn or archived.
Benefits
- Prevents accidental advertising while waiting for owner or agent approval.
- Useful for properties that are both for sale and for lease, where advertising may need to be paused temporarily.
- Eliminates the need to withdraw and recreate listings.
- Avoids additional relisting fees charged by some portal integrations when a withdrawn listing is published again.
- Provides greater confidence that a property has been removed from all portals without affecting the CRM record.
This feature would streamline the advertising process and reduce unnecessary costs for agencies while providing better control over listing visibility. Thank you

Hi Kimper,
Thanks for the feedback about the hidden status, and for taking the time to provide lots of detail.
As a way to achieve this currently in Grow CRM, to keep a listing as active but remove it from a portal, right now you can click the "Remove from portal" button. This will keep the listing as active, but tell the portal to hide the listing.
