REALTOR.com Adding Photos

These instructions are for real estate agents / brokers that have an account with realtor.com. Adding photos will increase your page views and contacts from your properties listed on realtor.com. Your local mls should upload up to 6 photos that you have uploaded to your mls but I have found that they are often distorted and of poor quality. Uploading your photos direct will do several things: 1. Insure that your photos are there, 2. Lock those photos in so the mls doesn't replace them with the poor quality ones, 3. Allow you to get the exact photos you want on their site, and 4. Allow you to put them in the order you want.
