The photo folder dropdown menu has two settings, MLS and Company. As long as the dropdown remain set to MLS, the photos will continue to update from the MLS.

To access the Update Listings module, select a listing and choose Update Listing. You may have to scroll the icon list to the left to see the Update Listing icon. The Update Listing module allows you to view all of the property details that have been sent to us from your MLS. Most of the main listing information is updated multiple times per day with the listing feed that we receive from the MLS so if you try to change the information here, it will just be over written during the next MLS update. That means that you should be making changes to your main listing information directly in the MLS. There are however a few other things found here that are important to note and I break them down in detail on the next page.

16 1. You will find links to both the Branded and Unbranded auto generated YouTube videos at the top of this page. If you update your listing photos after the videos are generated or if you aren t fond of the music that was automatically selected for your video, you can force them to be republished. Select Yes on the Force YouTube Republish option, then choose Update. Your new videos should be generated within 12 hours. 2. You can edit your listing remarks specifically for your brochures and postcards without affecting the remarks that appear on your listing online. Edit the text in the Brochure and Postcard Remarks section and choose Update. 3. If you weren t able to send your listing out as a Sneak Preview Listing before it was listed, you can send it out immediately after instead. Place a check in the Out as Sneak Preview Listing check box and choose Update. The Sneak Preview Listing will be sent out to all sales associates in all of our offices that are in the same county as the listing. 4. Zillow s systems cannot display two listings with the exact same address. If you list a property For Sale and For Lease, Zillow will display the first listing that they receive. If you do not want the listing that gets there first and would rather have the other listing display, turn off the one that you do not want to display by choosing Yes for the Exclude from Zillow Feed option and then choose Update. The other listing will then be able to display. 5. If you would like to have your listing avoid the 48 hour delay that we place on new listings being sent to Zillow, choose Yes to the Send Immediately to Zillow Without Delay option and then choose Update
