AddProp_4Photos_1

You are now ready to upload your photos. There is no limit to the number of photos you can add, but you should be able to show the best details of the property in under 30 photos. Remember to think logically about the order which you add the photos. I add the photos as if I were walking the client through the property. Think from the outside of the property to the inside as this makes for a better presentation. Example: view from outside, view of the lobby, view of inside of the property, view from the property, view of social area.

  • Title: Add The Photo Title (Ex: Exterior View, Bedroom, Bathroom, etc)
  • Description: You can leave this blank.
  • Photo: Click on the Browse button, and then navigate to the location where you have the image on your computer.
  • Upload Photo: Once you have selected the photo, click on the Upload Photo Button. After a few seconds, the photo should show up under assigned photos section. Continue adding photos until you have added all of the photos.

After adding your last photo, you can always re-order them, but this can take more time than necessary. Once you have finished adding the photos, click on Save (the disk icon).

You have successfully added your property! You should automatically be brought to the Manage My Properties page.
