 Edit Images

The saying that "a picture speaks louder than words" is especially true in an online auction. All the surveys show that buyers surfing the Internet for property think the picture is the most important part of a listing.

  • You can add images when you list a property.
  • You can also edit a listing to include additional images.
  • Images must be in .jpg or .gif format.
  • .jpg - File format that reduces file size without reducing image quality.
  • .gif - Common file format used specifically for web graphics.
