Uploading photos of your listings is one of the most essential elements to effectively market them online. Potential buyers and renters almost always view listings based on photos more than any other factor. Unfortunately many agents tend to forget to upload photos or upload low quality photos. In this post I provide a few recommendations for uploading photos as well as tips on how you can easily and quickly upload your photos with EasyBroker.

First you should upload at least five photos for each property listing, although ten to twenty photos is probably a better range for most properties. However, I do not recommend that you upload photos just because you have them. It is better to upload a few good photos than many low quality images. You also want to be careful not to bore your visitors by showing every nook and cranny of a property. Choosing five photos of one room is probably way too much, unless the property is a huge open loft. Choose interesting and accurate photos that highlight the important elements of a property. Don’t forget that photos of the neighborhood or a great view from a window might convince a lead to contact you.

When you upload photos to EasyBroker you should ideally choose photos that are larger than 800×800 pixels. EasyBroker will automatically resize your photo to fit a 800×800 pixel box and will also create thumbnails of the image for you. Another cool trick is that you can easily upload many photos from the same folder by using the CTRL button to select multiple files, or if you are using Windows you can press CTRL plus the letter A to automatically select every photo in a folder.

Once you’ve uploaded your photos in EasyBroker you can drag and drop them using your mouse in order to rearrange the order of appearance of the images on MoveGlobally.com and on your website. Make sure to drag the best or most eye-catching photo into the position of the first image because only the first photo appears in listing results.

Most importantly view the listing after uploading photos. Many times the photos appear differently when shown in a slide-show or give a different impression when shown with the background color of your website or on MoveGlobally.com.
In summary

• Upload at least five photos but ideally ten to twenty
• Upload photos with dimensions of at least 800×800 pixels
• Upload multiple photos with EasyBroker by using the CTRL key or select all with CTRL+A
• Rearrange your photos afterwards by dragging and dropping them
• Put the most important or eye-catching photo first
• Review the property listing after you’ve uploaded the photos

Remember that uploading good quality photos is probably the most effective way of marketing your listings online. Spend time to take good photos and you will generate more leads and also appear more professional to owners looking to potentially sell or rent their property.
