Realtor.com offers two kinds of programs to real estate agents, Basic and Showcase. If you are a Showcase Listing Enhancement customer of Realtor.com, there is no charge to link your Show to Realtor.com. This is part of the upgraded features in the Showcase package.
However, if you are NOT a Showcase Listing Enhancement customer of Realtor.com, then a $25 fee is required to upgrade that listing with a Show. This is a one time fee PER LISTING, for the life of that listing. Realtor.com charges this fee to all of their Picture Path Partners (all “Virtual Tour” vendors), not just RealEstateShows.com.
We collect this fee via credit card at the time you decide to link. You are not REQUIRED to link to Realtor.com, however, those who do link to Realtor.com notice a significant increase in the number of views on their Shows.
Shows posted to Realtor.com enjoy a distribution that extends well beyond Realtor.com itself. All featured tours are distributed throughout the Realtor.com Distribution Network. Sites in REALTOR.com’s® Virtual Tour Distribution Network include national real estate portals such as Homes.com and Homeseekers.com; national franchise brand sites such as ColdwellBanker.com, Century21.com, ERA.com, PrudentialRealEstate.com, RealtyExecutives.com, and REMAX.com; hundreds of regional and local broker and office sites; and numerous affiliated agent sites.

Jamie, if you are a Showcase Listing customer, there is not cost to link and the red house will definitely appear. Just click on the Realtor.com tab in the Publish section of your account for the Show/Shows you wish to link.
I have a client who’s show I tried posting to realtor.com and it won’t go without me entering in her credit card info. She is a Coldwell Banker Agent and they all have Showcase listings. Now here’s the kicker – she had wanted to go from the 60 second show to the 90 second show so I had deleted the old show and replaced it with the new show – now we’re stuck since it won’t accept the new show without the fee! HELP! I’m sure others have had this problem!
The show is http://www.realestateshows.com/show.php?id=345157&traffic=0
I have emailed support already and have yet to get a response, so I’m trying here! SOMEONE HELP!
