Q. How and when do I pay?
A. We accept checks, cash and money orders. Credit and debit cards are not accepted at this time.

Q. How do I order?
A. If this is your first time ordering, we suggest that you give us a call. This will allow us to briefly explain our services to you, as well as give you a custom quote based on your service area, and the size of your listing. Existing clients may email us.

Q. How many photos will you take?
A. Up to 25 images. Our general rule of thumb is to take 3-4 of the front, 3-4 of the back, 2-3 per major room (Living, Dining, Master Bedroom, etc) and 1-2 per smaller rooms (Bedrooms, Study, Powder Room, etc). We tend to overshoot rather than undershoot and unique characteristics of the property are always taken into consideration. Please mention any special requests upon placing your order.

Q. How do I prepare for a virtual tour appointment?
A. The same way you prepare for an open house. Just make sure the home is in showing condition. We ask to have access to all areas of the listing in order to assure the accuracy of the floor plans. Please make sure there are no cars parked in the driveway as well as any trash bins from the night before.

Q. How long does the appointment take?
A. The appointment usually takes around an hour to shoot the photos AND draw the floor plan. Each listing has its own unique characteristics, so the amount of time my vary. Remember, this isn't your typical photo shoot.

Q. Can you link my tour to Realtor.com?
A. Absolutely. Your listing data will automatically be added to Realtor.com from your MLS (minus the virtual tour link). That's where ShowMeHomeTours comes in. As vendors, we have the ability to add the little red featured house to your listing. This is valuable because users will now have access to more photos, floor plans, and your listing will be featured ahead of all others without a virtual tour link. All we need from you is the listing MLS number. This service is FREE for Showcase Members (those who pay Realtor.com an annual fee to feature their listings and shade them yellow). For non-showcase members, the fee is $25. .

Q. Do I have to be there for the photo shoot?
A. No, you don't. This is totally up to you and the seller.

Q. Will you link my tour to the MLS?
A. Unfortunately, most MLS systems do not allow vendors to access their data. We'd be happy to assist you, or email you instructions on how to upload virtual tour links.

Q. How long does it take from the time I order?
A. We require 1-3 business days to schedule your appointment. We GUARANTEE a proof to you within 2 business-days from that appointment by 5 PM.
