When selling a house, the photos are the first thing that will attract a potential buyer to your property. If a picture is worth a thousand words, imagine how much information a complete album could provide!

Because they are so important, your photos need to be impeccable and represent reality. They must show your home in its best light, to entice the people who see your listing to find out more.

Organize the photos

To optimize your listing, learn how the photo page works.

Photo gallery

The photo gallery contains the available photos that you can add to your listing. Once the representative has added your photos to your file, they will appear in this section. To select them, you need to check the small box provided for this purpose; you can choose several at a time. Don't hesitate to enlarge the view by clicking on the (…), you can then make your selection one at a time with a better appreciation of the photos.

The number of photos you can select will depend on the limit included in your package.  

Photos of My Listing

You will then need to choose the order in which your photos will appear on the site. Ideally, the photos should be arranged according to the logical sequence of a visit, for example, starting with the entrance and the ground floor and finishing with the upper floors and the backyard.

To complete this step, simply select the photos by using the small symbol in the upper left corner of a photo and drag it to the desired location.  

If you wish to remove one or more photos from your listing, simply click in the box provided for this purpose and confirm your choice at the bottom of the screen.

Description

This option allows you to specify the type of room and write a description under each photo, in both French and English. It is not mandatory, but you can use this space to add information about elements not visible in the photo. To proceed, click on the pencil icon available under each photo.
 

Choosing the Main Photo

The default main photo displayed is the one of the front of the property. If this photo does not do justice to your home or if you believe that your listing would be more attractive if represented by another photo, you can make the change.

To modify the image used in the search results, simply click on the pencil icon of the desired photo and designate it as the main photo. Note that this photo does not necessarily have to be the first photo in your listing; you have the flexibility to choose its order of appearance. 

It is recommended to choose a main photo that highlights your property well: the front of your house or building, or your favorite room (open space, living room, or kitchen only). 

Also, note that the image of the front should always show the detached garage, if there is one.
