how to size your pictures for a mls listing

When uploading pictures, keep in mind that they should always be properly sized (640 X 480).

Please make sure there are no symbols (ie. @!%$#) in your photo names.

If you run into a file size limit error, split your photos into 3 or 4 separate emails.

Please include your name and listing address on each email.
