Real Estate Orders

Terms of Service

FLOOR PLANS
For Floor Plan orders, this confirmation represents an estimate based on the information provided or is set to our minimum fee. The actual cost will be determined based on the actual measurements of the property.

PHOTOS
Standard Still Photo dimensions will be 1600 x 2400 pixels. These images will print out at approximately 5" x 8" at 300 ppi (pixel per inch). We are not responsible for the print quality or print dimensions as this will vary significantly on the type and quality of printer used. If you require larger resolution or print sizes, please request our High Resolution Magazine Quality upgrade.

High Resolution Photos will be 4000 x 2600 pixels. These images will print out at approximately 8.5" x 13" full bleed at 300 ppi (pixel per inch).

All photos will be shot at the property location. If you require additional photos at other locations (e. g. parks, school, neighbourhood) there will be an additional fee. Please contact us for more details.

Our policy is not to remove permanent structures from any photos using photoshop or any other manipulations in post-production. If the structures are temporary and can or will be removed (e.g. garbage cans, for sale signs, etc), then we may accommodate the request or we will crop the photos or panoramas so the temporary structure is not shown. Otherwise we would be deceiving the end-user as to what is actually permanent at the physical location and would be compromising our ethical standards as a premier supplier of visual content. There may be additional fees for image manipulation depending on the time estimate of the work.

APPOINTMENT TIME
For orders that are placed before 3:30pm, we will contact you by the end of the business day. We make appointments based on availability. If you require a rush appointment, there is a Rush Appointment fee. This does not include rush delivery of the photos and SeeVirtual tour. Please inquire for more details.

DELIVERY TIME
Within 2 business days of the appointment we will email you a copy of all the still photos and a link to your SeeVirtual tour page. If you require rush delivery of the photos and/or SeeVirtual tour, there is a Rush Delivery fee. This does not include a Rush Appointment. Please inquire for more details.

IMPORTANT BOARD PHOTO & LINK DELIVERY INFORMATION
The photos and SeeVirtual tour link will be sent to the Real Estate Board at the same time we send them to you (assuming a MLS # exists). IMPORTANT: It can take the Board up to 2 business days before your photos and multi-media link are online (depending on the Board's volume). If you DO NOT currently have an MLS # for your listing, don't worry, we will check for it daily and submit the photos and link to the Board once it is available. To help speed up the process you can email tours@seevirtual360.com the MLS # once you receive it.

For any listings on the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REGVB), we will send the first photo AND the SeeVirtual tour link on your behalf. The REGVB charges its members $25 for any third party that sends photos #2-20 on the member's behalf. You must let us know if you would like us to send all 20 photos on your behalf and incur the $25 charge directly from the board. If you want to upload the photos yourself, and avoid the $25 fee, please contact your office admin or the REBGV for instructions on how to upload your photos.

For any listings on the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board (FVREB) all 20 photos and SeeVirtual tour link will be sent for free. If you want the photos uploaded sooner you can upload them yourself. Contact your office admin or your Real Estate Board for instructions on how to upload your photos.

VIEW PROPERTIES, SUNNY DAYS, WINDOW VIEWS and the WEATHER
As part of SeeVirtual's high quality photo editing, we create a blue sky in the main exterior photo to appear on MLS regardless of the weather on the day of the appointment. If your property has a spectacular view, exterior, or garden to showcase and you require clear blue skies in all the exterior photos, you must let us know before booking the appointment. We will try our best to accommodate and get you an appointment on a clear sunny day, but we do not reserve appointments based on the weather. If you require views and exteriors to be seen from all interior photographs, then please request our WindowView Enhancement upgrade.

YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION
If you have not done so already, please send us the contact and personal information you would like to show up on your SeeVirtual tour and on all additional advertising (e.g. Craigslist, Kijiji, YouTube). Any changes requested after the tour or advertisements have been posted will be subject to an administration fee. The contact and personal information includes:
