Q. What do I need in order to add my listing?
A. Adding your property has never been easier now that we have a step by step process to help you along. In preparation for adding your listing, we recommend that you organise the following things:
Write a detailed description of your property to your target demographic. We suggest that you write the description in a word processing program in order to check your spelling and grammar and then copy and paste the text into the appropriate property description area.
Choose your photos and collate them all in a folder on your computer. Most people take photos with a digital camera so they are already in a valid format and ready to upload. Alternatively, scan the images in and save them as .jpeg, .jpg or .gif so they are ready to upload.

A. You are able to remove your listing at any time through your "My Account" administration area. You are also able to mark your property as UNDER CONTRACT.
Q. What size and format do my photos need to be?

We accept photos of any size with the extensions .jpeg, .jpg, .pjpeg, .gif or .png.
Q. How do I get my photos in digital format?
A. You will need to use either a digital camera to take digital photos, or use a scanner to turn printed photos into digital for use on your computer. You can also have photos developed in a digital format at photo outlets.
