A Tip For Keeping Your Photos Sorted When Out On A Home Tour

Good idea. With it being so easy these days to take 100 pics without worrying about film costs, it's easy to lose track of which pics are of which house.

Why not just shoot a video during the listing when all the lights are on, the place is staged? Less work and not a slide show but you can describe the place like during a showing that can be rewatched over and over. Sent to the parents who are throwing in the down payment assistance if they could just see the place, hear all about it.

Great Tips, thanks for sharing - What a great way to keep our photos organized.

The videos of the pics definitely capture more of an interest!  Great work. 

I always do the same thing with my photos.  It's very difficult to remember if I don't have a 'start' photo in the series and like others have pointed out, I often also end with the same photo so I know that was the last one.  It makes it easier when viewing a bunch of thumbnail photos.

Another tip for you - video editing is getting pretty simple to do.  Most cameras have video capability and I use "Movie Maker" (free) to do basic edits.  Might be something to check out.....

Cindy, you are doing great. We do the same otherwise it gets out of control fast

Organization is the key to success with all your information

Hi Cindy,,,,through trial and error I finally decided that the first photo was going to be of the address and most of the time I can include the home...Thanks for sharing with us in AR land.

Hi Cindy, great post and system for tracking your photos.  We use something similar for our virtual tours.  We take the tour in portrait mode and separate segments with a landscape overview.

I used to do alot of BPOs, and I would take a picture of the street sign, then the street, then the house #, and the front of the house.....Then drive to the next one and do it again.  The thing was, I never got 2 at once in the same neighborhood, so the street signs let me know where to start.

Good idea. I just started going out for a few different subdivisions that I'll use it on.

Great suggestion.  Very clever idea

Excellent advice...I learned the hard way, unfortunately, which ended up in a confusing mess.  I cannot remember as much as I think I can!

On our MLS we have a print that you can include all the photos of the property. I give the buyer these prints so the MLS print can help them remember.

Great tip Cindy..thanks for sharing. Its all about time management

now that is great advise.  you can really find the home and not worry about mixed pics and mixing up your information/points to each home.

That's a great suggestion for keeping track of homes. I take tons of photos myself in some areas and it's hard to remember even though I pride myself on having a good memory. This works well when touring model homes, too.

I'm surprised you didn't comment on my one million points post where I described you (and others) as chicks scratching around in the Virginia farmyard!

I used to be an insurance adjuster and that is exactly what I did if I was out looking at homes with damage all day.  With vehicles it was the license plate.

Cindy, well done and a great service for your buyers and addition to your website.
