Pictures in TMLS and  REALTOR.com
By Paul Folmsbee
REALTOR at RE/MAX Partners in Cary, NC

As you know, you have to size pictures properly for TMLS. They must be no more than 150K.

However, this is NOT true with REALTOR.COM®. When adding pictures to your I-Lead listings, you can (and should) send a large version.  The I-Lead software will size the picture property automatically.

If you pre-compress the picture before sending it to REALTOR.COM®, it may be compressed again by the system, causing a loss of detail.  Let the I-Lead program do it for you. The results will be much better with a one-step compression.

I store each picture on my hard drive in two versions.  The large version is called "Wilson1", "Wilson2", etc.  The MLS versions are stored as "635488_0", "635488_1", etc.

SUMMARY:

When shooting with a digital camera or scanning an existing photo/drawing, go for the high-resolution setting and use it for flyers and on REALTOR.COM®. To re-size for TMLS, follow the instructions on the sign-on screen.  It's simple, once you have done it one time.

The Technical Specifications are:

MLS:  640 x 480 Pixels, at 96 pixels/inch, sized downward as necessary to reach 150K.

REALTOR.COM: Minimum of 330 x 220 pixels.
(Larger is better)
