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.COMŽ. 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.COMŽ, 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.COMŽ. 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)
