Buyer guides, seller photo workflows, and agent resources for building verified property evidence on EthioReals.

Guides

Practical workflows for listing, verifying, and evaluating property evidence.

Agent Resources

Operational habits that keep listings verified, current, and easy to trust.

Verified listing checklist

Upload original photos before any chat-app forwarding.
Accept the photo GPS suggestion when it matches the property.
Use the map picker only when the exact buyer navigation point is different.

Trust and review signals

A far GPS override is held for admin review before it becomes buyer-facing.
Duplicate-photo and stale-photo checks run before public visibility.
Drone GPS is retained as evidence in the same verified-location pipeline.

Keep contact threads inside the platform until identity and listing trust are clear.
Record viewing intent and update listing status quickly after serious engagement.
Use buyer questions to improve captions, missing categories, and location clarity.

Seller Guides

Practical listing guidance for phones, professional cameras, and aerial shoots.

Listing with a phone

Turn on location services for the camera before taking property photos.
Upload from the original gallery, iCloud, Google Photos, USB, or direct browser file picker.
Avoid screenshots and chat-app downloads when you want the verified-location badge.

Using pro cameras

Pair Canon, Sony, Nikon, or Fujifilm cameras with their phone app when possible.
In Lightroom or Capture One, export with location metadata preserved.
If the pro batch has no GPS, add one phone snapshot at the property as the geo witness.

Using drones and aerial photos

DJI Mavic, Mini, Air, Phantom, and similar DJI files usually include GPS automatically.

Buyer Guides

How to read trust signals before requesting a viewing or making an offer.

Location badge meanings

Verified location listings support directions after sign-in.
Drone evidence means a trusted drone photo also supports the property location.
Seller-provided location means the seller supplied the listing location. Sign in for directions.

Safer viewing habits

Prefer listings with current photos, clear verification evidence, and complete contact context.
Ask for listing-specific details instead of relying only on copied social posts.
Use platform contact and offer flows when the property moves from browsing to negotiation.
