Photographs that accompany listings play a significant role in attracting buyers.  Because more than 90% of home buyers begin their search online (and eliminate homes for viewing based on photographs), FMLS sends listing data - including photos - to Realtor.com, and listing Brokers may choose to have listing data sent out to many different public-facing websites such as Trulia and Zillow.

1. Click the Add/Edit Photo button. The Add/Edit Photos window opens.

2. Click Browse to search for and locate your pictures.  Restb.ai can suggest fully editable photo descriptions based on the content of the photos you're adding to your listing.  If you would not like to see suggestions, uncheck the box.

3. To upload Multiple photos at once, hold the Ctrl (Option) key down when clicking on the filenames. To Order your photos once uploaded, drag by the grey title bar. Click on any image to view its Details. For maximum quality, upload photos at least 1024 x 768 pixels in size.

4. The Browse button disappears once the photo limit of 200 has been reached. To replace an existing photo, you must delete the photo first and then add the new photo. The first image of each listing is considered the Primary Photo. For the majority of properties, the Primary photo might be the exterior of the property.

5. To rearrange the photo order, click the mouse on the Slot Number in the photo’s title bar and drag the photo to a new position. Click the mouse again to complete the move.

6. Click Certify and Save.

Adding and Editing Photo Description

Photo descriptions are not required but strongly recommended. Because photos are so critical to the online marketing of listings, Matrix enables you to name each photo, and add descriptive text.  Thoughtful descriptions of each picture add to the online presence of your listing – selling the rooms sells the house! Aside from using (and editing!) the suggested descriptions restb.ai can come up with, you can also add your own from scratch either by typing in the small box below the thumbnail of the photo(s) on your listing or you can expand the photo and add a description while viewing a larger version of the photo.  To expand the photo and add a description then, follow these easy steps.

1. Click anywhere on a photo to view the details and access the editing features.

2. Click the Enter Description link to add a description of the photo.

3. Type your description in the box provided.  Spell Check is available for each description box.

4. Click Done and then click Save on the toolbar to save changes.

5. When you are done with descriptions, click Certify and Save.

Rotating Photos

1. Click on a photo to access the editing features.

2. Click on one of the rotate arrows in the upper right corner to change the photo 90 degrees in either direction.

3. Click Save on the toolbar to save changes.
