Placing A Virtual Tour Order Is Easy
You're Only Six Simple Steps Away From Receiving A Great Tour
1 Take some
great photos, select the ones you want in the tour, and save them in a separate
folder
2 Create a new email message to
3 Include all of the photos as attachments using the TIPS section below as
a guide
4 Include all of your contact information in case we need to get in touch
with you
5 Include in the remarks section the Property Address and MLS
listing number
6 After submitting your photos and information, make your
payment
and we will begin creating your Virtual Tour
If someone
referred you to us, please be sure to include their name so that they receive a
referral credit. You, too, can earn free virtual tours by referring others.
Tips:
Do Not attempt
to email a photo "Folder" since it will not work. Instead, when adding multiple
photos as an attachment to your email, locate the folder, highlight the first
photo in the folder, hold down the Shift key, then highlight the last photo you
want to include. This will highlight all of them, then click on OK, and they
should all wind up as attachments in your email. If you want to pick and choose
certain photos, hold down the CTRL key instead while making your selections and
only the ones you select will stay highlighted, then click OK to add them as
attachments. For Gold Package orders, we suggest that you split the photos into
two smaller emails and mark them accordingly so we can identify what listing
they go with. If they are high resolution photos, it will take longer for the
transfer, so allow time for the email to complete its transmission.
Remember, great looking photos make a great
looking tour!

Guidelines:
Do Not submit
photos with your yard sign or any personal marketing in them since your MLS will
not allow them in the tour. We use the photos exactly as they are submitted with
no editing, so please send us your best ones for a quality looking tour that you
and your seller will be pleased with. Use as much light as possible so they are
nice and bright. Avoid taking photos looking into the sun or at a bright
interior window that will cause the photo to be over-exposed. A typical camera
flash has a lighting range of approximately 8 to 10 feet so avoid trying to take
an entire darkened room without using additional lighting. You will find that
photos taken at extremely high resolutions will take much longer to upload and
will require splitting the number of photos into two separate emails when
ordering the Gold Tour package
Reducing High Resolution Photos
BEFORE eMailing Them
For viewing on the Internet, photos DO NOT need to be at a high resolution. That
is more for brochures and anything in print. If you take your photos in a very
high resolution they will EACH be a huge file, making sending them all very
difficult due to the overall size of your email attachments. For submitting
large quantities of photos in one email, please reduce the resolution down to
around 600x450 which will still give plenty of resolution for viewing. If you do
not have the capabilities to do this you can download a very easy to use
free software program
at http://www.bluefive.pair.com/pixresizer.htm It has instructions but in a
nutshell, you put all your photos into a separate folder, then create a 'new'
folder (I call mine 'resized' photos), open the program and click on the top tab
that says " work with multiple files", select the folder where your photos are
located and insert where you want the 'resized' ones sent. The beauty part is
that it does not modify your original photos so you still have the high
resolution ones for your other tasks.
