  title: Investorlift Marketplace API
  version: '2026-09-18'
  summary: List, publish and trade wholesale real estate deals on Investorlift.
  description: >-
    The Marketplace API gives a seller organization and a buyer account the same
    actions the Investorlift application gives them. A seller creates a draft,
    publishes a deal, reads its leads and answers offers. A buyer searches
    deals, asks for an address, makes an offer and keeps a buy box. Every answer
    carries a request id, and every refusal carries a problem code with one
    recovery sentence.
