Photos may be submitted as jpegs in a folder. Each folder cannot exceed 50 photos, and photo files cannot be larger than 500 kilobytes. Photos must be numbered sequentially and submitted with a document which describes each photo in numerical order.
Photos may be submitted as PDFs. Each page must have no more than two photos. Photos and pages must be sequentially numbered. Descriptions can be below each photo or described in a separate document.
All new photos must be in color. Vintage or historical photos may remain their original color.
All photo submissions must include a photo key, which is a plan of each floor of the building with arrows numbered to match the photos in the direction and location from which they were taken.
Exterior photos can be keyed using the first floor plan in the context of a property map. Photos of other structures on the property can be noted there. Include photos up and down the street to provide a neighborhood context.
Interior photos should include views of the floor, ceiling, and all four walls. Include features like light fixtures, trim and baseboard details.
If any critical photos are illegible, review will be placed on hold until legible photos are provided.
