Photo Guidelines
Submit enough photos to give a good overview of your property:
- Exterior & interior
- From the street
- 10 – 20 photos are ideal. We reserve the right to select the best group among the submitted photos and delete those which are redundant or of poor quality.
- Photograph WIDE and from multiple angles.
- Professional photos are not required, but dark, old, or poorly focused photos will not be accepted, nor will those that are too small or low-resolution.
- Make sure images are properly rotated before submission.
- Do not include photos taken in inclement weather (snow, fog, rain, etc.).
- Do not submit video clips, screen captures, or brochures.
- Do not submit properties that are or will soon be for sale.
- Do not submit properties that are or will soon be in the process of being remodeled.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How will I know if the submission went through?
You will receive an automated confirmation e-mail. Locations may take time for staff review due to heavy submission volume. If you do not see your location listed, it is either in the queue or has not been approved.
How long will it be before I hear from a production company?
It depends on what is being filmed and the location needs. Someone from the production company will contact you when they are interested in your property. This could be days, weeks, years and possibly never.
