Many agents assume that their photographer has to handle the upload, but the truth is, you have full control over getting your listing live as soon as you receive the media. That means you can get your property in front of buyers faster—without delays. In real estate photography, timing is crucial.
In this guide (and the video below), I’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of uploading your listing’s media yourself, so you can:
✅ Get your listing published without waiting on your photographer
✅ How to upload high-resolution images for real estate photography
✅ Quickly replace or update photos if needed
✅ Ensure your Zillow 3D Tour is properly linked
Why This Matters for Agents
Listings with high-quality visuals not only attract more buyers but also rank higher on Zillow’s search results. That means better visibility, more inquiries, and potentially a faster sale. 🚀 Real estate photography makes a significant difference.
Plus, if you’re using Virtual Open House for your real estate media, we make it super easy to access and download your high-resolution images—so you can upload them quickly without any headaches.
But before you smash that "I Agree" checkbox at the bottom of the upload screen, there’s something important you need to know about your photographer and Zillow’s Showcase Listing agreement. This is particularly relevant in the context of real estate photography agreements.
A Quick Heads-Up About the Agreement Section
If you’re sending your photographer the request to upload, that means they’re already part of Zillow’s Showcase program—so they’ve likely agreed to the same media terms that Zillow asks you to agree to at the bottom of the page.
But as a courtesy, I’d recommend following up with your photographer after you submit the request through Zillow, just to give them a heads-up that you’ll be handling the upload yourself. It’s a simple step to keep everything smooth and professional!
