The best practices for real estate listing media in 2026: use professional photography (don't generate from phone shots), lead with your strongest exterior, run any soft or under-lit photos through Image Studio's Listing Ready polish before generating a video tour, check the aspect ratio preview for every export platform (16:9 for MLS and YouTube, 9:16 for Reels and TikTok, 4:5 for the feed), and keep agent branding consistent across every deliverable. The single highest-impact step is photo quality going in, because every downstream asset inherits whatever you upload.
Use high-quality, well-lit listing photos for the best results.
Lead with your strongest exterior shot and follow with the most impactful interior images.
Run soft or under-lit photos through Image Studio's Listing Ready polish (with the Lights On control if the fixtures should glow) before generating a tour.
Use the aspect ratio preview to check framing for every platform before exporting.
Review your agent profile periodically to make sure your branding stays current and consistent with your other marketing materials.
