Step 1

Exterior photos

Step 2

Interior photos

Next, shoot the inside of the property one room or area at a time.
Pay attention to any special features (bay windows, indoor pool, stairway).
Try to duplicate the experience of someone arriving at the location walking through the building.
Stand on one corner of the room you are photographing and take a picture.
Next, take a “reverse” shot by walking over to the opposite corner of the room and take a photograph of the area you were just standing in.
Show entrances in your photos if possible.

NOTE: Do Not take “closeup” shots of door knobs, pets, or decorative items.

Step 3

Save the photos

Save each image as a .jpg file.
Make sure you label each location photo accordingly (eg. “kitchen.jpg,” “bathroom.jpg,” “back view.jpg”).
Please do NOT add any text directly onto a photo, we are unable to use any images containing text.
We only accept images submitted as individual .jpg files.

Step 4

Additional information

Include ALL your contact information – Full name, email address, phone number, address of the property.
Include any other information about the property such as available parking, noise concerns, proximity to highway or airport, filming restrictions, etc.
Please remember to provide contact information including the property owner or authorized person, phone numbers including cell number, address and postal code with your photo-file.
