The best time to upload your MLS photos is before the MLS listing goes active. The easiest way to do this is to upload the photos to our pre listing manager at http://www.congressrealty.com/Flat-Fee-MLS-Listings/PreListing/default.aspx. (From this same interface you can also add your remarks.) An ideal MLS photo is approximately 480×640 in size. If you prefer, you can also email your photos prior to returning your listing paperwork to info@congressrealty.com. If you do not upload your photos prior to the MLS listing going active, you can upload your photos anytime after the MLS listing is active by visiting the private client area of our website and logging into your account.

Why do I want to include my photos at the start of my listing?   MLS listings with photos get more views from Realtors(R) and the public. It’s a fact. When your listing originally goes live, you want the photos to be there with the initial data. Secondly, 3rd party sites like Zillow and Trulia are notorious for only pulling one feed from the data source. As a result, if you do not upload photos with the original post, sites like Zillow can make it difficult to upload photos at a later time.
