Photo & Media Delivery Software for Real Estate Photographers – UPDATES

Greetings RTV fans and followers alike! Happy Fall to all of you. As we look back on our latest round of real estate photography system updates, I’m excited to say there’s truly something here for everyone. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or just getting started, you’ll find new improvements and powerful tools waiting for you with our latest round of updates.

Before I begin, just a quick reminder for you all that our entire team is hard at work on the brand-new RTV System Six. We’ll be sharing more on that in the months ahead. Stay tuned, because it’s going to be a big leap forward for all of us!

As things begin to wind down for the season, now is the perfect time to schedule a Power Session with our support team – Click Here

Use these slower months ahead to reinvent yourself and master the entire RTV system, explore new add-ons, refine your workflow, and tee up strategies you’ll be ready to release next season. I’ve included a couple of helpful training videos below to get you started, along with a full recap of this month’s updates:

Thanks as always for your trust, support, and business. We couldn’t do this without you, and we’re proud to be your partner in growth. Now let’s dive into the latest RTV updates!

8-29-25 – Delivery Site Load Time – We’ve fine-tuned the engine behind your RTV Delivery Sites for even faster load times. The difference is instant, especially if you’re using photo watermarking with Pay-to-Download enabled. Your clients will notice the speed boost right away.

8-29-25 – Additional Order Notifications –  Managing a team just got easier. RTV now includes a complete set of new order notification templates, giving you the ability to notify customers or photographers whenever an order is:

  • Accepted
  • Rejected
  • Assigned
  • Unassigned
  • Scheduled
  • Cancelled
  • Deleted

 

You’ll find these options under Settings → Notifications, and in each user’s notification settings. To save you time, we’ve pre-enabled the “Order Assigned” notification so your photographers will automatically get an email the moment you assign them a new job. All other templates are OFF by default, giving you total control.

8-29-25 – SMTP Email Integration – Heavy email users, this one’s for you! RTV now supports SMTP integration with services like AWS, Mailgun, SendGrid, and others. SMTP email sending is trusted for high deliverability at scale, making it ideal if you’re sending hundreds or thousands of traffic reports each week. Setup is simple: Just head to Settings → Emails in your RTV account. And as always, our support team is ready to walk you through it if necessary.

REMINDER – Still Photo Resolution Boost –  Back in July, your images got sharper! For those using RTV’s breathtaking 4K video streaming, we’ve increased the resolution of still photography inside your virtual tours and property websites. The difference is striking, to say the least. All new projects will automatically benefit from the boost. For existing projects, replace your old stills with reuploads to utilize the system upgrade. Take a peek at a recent production we just completed over at BlueLaVa that shows off the new high-resolution still imagery – https://tours.bluelavamedia.com/292348  and here’s the accompanying property website – https://tours.bluelavamedia.com/s/704-Dockside-Cir-C5-Suttons-Bay-MI-49682  Enjoy!

That wraps up another round of RTV technology updates! Each month, we’re raising the bar so you have the tools and features you need to grow your real estate photography business and deliver a memorable experience for your clients. Remember, now is a great time to book your Power Session with our team. Let’s make sure you’re taking full advantage of these new tools and setting yourself up for a strong season ahead.

Thank you for trusting RTV as your partner in growth. Your success is what drives our innovation, and we’re excited to continue this journey with you. If you have any questions about these updates, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service team. We’re here to help.

Sincerely,

Jason & Team RTV

“Success with RTV from a Real Estate Agent’s Point of View
In early 2005 as the real estate market here in the Florida Keys started to slow, I could see I would have to brush up on my marketing skills and find better ways to expose my listings to potential buyers. With so many Florida Keys homes and condos sold as vacation homes, an online presence with great photos and virtual tours becomes essential. A few years earlier I was the first agent in our area to do virtual tours. I had tried the two-shot version but the results were not very good. Then the market got so hot, and properties were selling so fast, there was no real need to have tours. I could see the tide turning and I wanted to add virtual tours back to my listings so I started doing some research to find the best solution. After looking at a lot of low quality tours, I found RTV. Having taken some photography courses in college, and with over 30 years in the real estate business taking photos of houses, I decided to do the tours myself. My first RTV tour was of one of the highest priced homes in Key Largo. Shortly after submitting it, I received a call from a buyer who said his wife had seen a virtual tour on the Internet and she wanted him to take a look at the property while he was in the Keys. During the showing he called his wife at home and told her to look at the virtual tour again. They decided then and there to make an offer. They ended up buying the property. The wife never came to see it until closing. The selling price was $3.7 million.

Since then there have been other situations where a buyer’s partner or family member could not be present but the decision to go forward was based on the virtual tour. Many times in the course of showing one of my listings with an agent from another company, I hear the buyers talking about having seen the virtual tour on the Internet. It seems they find the listings and have their agent make the appointment which results in more showings and sales for my sellers. I have a contract pending on a property which is scheduled to close later this month. The buyers have never been inside the house. Asking price almost $3 million.

In spite of our market being down almost 50% in the number of sales, and the inventory being up almost 50% in the number of listings, this has been my best year ever in real estate with over $12 million in sales so far – and it is only April. Thank you RTV for helping take my career to a new level.”

“RTV, Best Service, Great Products!!!
We opened Photos Sell, real estate photography in January 2015. I found RTV during a search for a portal site so I could send high res images over the internet to my customers. When I called this company I was greeted by the owner himself. Jason LaVanture. Jason explained what RTV was about and what they can do for my new business. Great customer service, training, high res Virtual Tours and much, much more. After I signed up I got all of the above and much, much more. I received excellent training on the system. Instant help from customer support almost never got a voice mail and when I did they always got right back to me ASAP. The product is like nothing else, it set me apart from my competition. Look if your pictures are not good, they will no look good on any medium. I now work for 35 agents and exclusive with two large Brokers in our area. I am busy as hell. I read the complaints on this company and my response to those who complained is: you can’t make a living off the leads you get for RTV. You need to market you self, have a great product and provide great customer service. Look, I am no one special to RTV, just a customer and I have received outstanding service, their web portal works flawlessly and is easy to use and navigate. I can pickup the phone and speak to the Owner any time, he is a great resource and can be depended upon should you have a problem!! Thank you RTV. I prefer not be anonymizes: George Pulizzano, Photos Sell, Tampa, Florida.”

“I became a RTV Full Service Provider after I researched many different virtual tour software solutions and purchased several different packages from virtual tour companies in the industry. RTV wins hands down! Their tours are truly INTERACTIVE and professional quality. Unlike other software that can distort images and give the ‘fishbowl’ effect, RTV offers a superior software solution that forgives even the most amateur of photographers and allows professional photographers to REALLY show off their work. In the last year my company has produced more than 170 tours for both commercial and real estate applications and that number is growing daily. On top of our own marketing efforts, RTV has sent us MANY qualified leads! 95% of all the leads that they send us result in an immediate order! To top the cake, their support staff is ON THE BALL!! A BIG thank you to Torie, Jon, Jacque (tour track), Ben and especially Jason for all of their training, support and attention to detail. I have been known to be a little ‘fiery’ and passionate about my business, but they have always answered my support requests promptly and professionally! I highly recommend their software to anyone who is even considering doing their own tours in-house OR starting a virtual tour company. You simply CANNOT beat the level of support or quality of software.”
