Why can't I make changes to the address?

To ensure that our database is kept as organized as possible and that listings have their dedicated property ID numbers, we set it up so that if there is a valid reason for an address change, clients can let us know first and we'll help you change it. i.e. Unit# changes or Postal Code errors for Google Maps purposes.

I watched the Real Estate Channel and couldn't see my property

1. It could be that your listings are posted to a different region from which you are watching. Listings by default are set to be posted to your home market, usually where your brokerage is located unless otherwise specified.
2. Double check what city/region your listing is under
3. Properties take 24-48 hours to process so if you don't see it even after receiving a confirmation email of activation, let us know.
4. Your account may have run out of TV credits. You can check your account status through the client page or contact us.

What if my property sells within a few days of putting it on television, will I be reimbursed my credit?

Every credit is dedicated to one property, so if it airs on television and your credit is deducted but your property sells as soon after it airs, we can add 'sold' banner to the video which will continue to air for a limited time as per the Real Estate Board regulations.

1. You can pay outstanding invoices through the client page by credit card. If you need to change your credit card information, you can also do that through the client page under the 'Edit Profile' section
