Updates on company tools & industry technology
New Photo Requirement for YouTube Listing Videos
To help better promote Long & Foster agents’ listings online, we’ve changed the photo requirements for our YouTube listing videos. Now, all Long & Foster listings require only a minimum of 25 photos to qualify for a free YouTube video. Previously, agents in select regions had to post 40 or more photos to their MLS for the listing video to be free.
Zillow to End Manually Posted Property Listings
Effective May 1, Zillow will no longer allow agents to enter property listings to their system manually. As you may know, Long & Foster established a partnership with Zillow in 2015 to ensure our listings were being syndicated to their site, and we will continue our partnership with them for the foreseeable future. As such, your listings will continue to be syndicated to Zillow and no action is required on your part.
