A picture is worth 1,000 words

Trulia

It’s well known that home buyers who are looking for homes online want photos - people like pictures!  Whether they’re searching for homes on Trulia’s main site or on our iPhone application for real estate, they want photos.  More photos.  Bigger photos.  You get the idea.

Real estate agents have long known that people love photos, so they typically make sure to make lots of photos available for the listings they represent.  At Trulia, we strive to make it easier for agents to present their listings in the most pleasing way possible, and we’ve just made this easier.  Now, if you’re the listing agent for a particular listing, you can easily add photos or re-order photos (to make sure, for example, that the cover photo is the most eye-catching of them all).

It’s easy to try out the new functionality.  First, access your My Listings page (if you don’t already have a Trulia account, you’ll be prompted to create one).  Then, for any listing on your page, select from the drop-down menu as per the screenshot below.  (If you don’t yet have listings on this page, you can also add them here).

Next, you can edit photos from this page.  Add photos (as many as you’d like!) by uploading them from your computer or just entering the URL if the photo is already posted elsewhere online.  Delete any photos you don’t like.  Or, using simple “drag and drop” functionality, move the photos around — into the order you’d like.  You can also add captions to the photos.

Best of all?  This is all free.  You just need to be the listing agent for listings on Trulia.

We hope you like this new functionality.  As always, if you have comments or questions, please let us know.
