Adding a property and uploading photos

Photos uploaded to a property auto-sync to every listing of its units, so you only upload once.

April 15, 2026 3 min read

Property photos in NestBord are single-source-of-truth. You upload them once to the property (or a unit) and they flow automatically to every listing on that unit — no re-uploading, no stale copies.

The upload flow

  1. Open Properties → Add Property.
  2. Fill in the name and address. Pick photos on the same step — they stage as previews locally.
  3. Click Next: Add Units. When the property saves, your staged photos are uploaded to S3 in the background. They'll be served via CloudFront at https://d2lnhyjska3br6.cloudfront.net/....
  4. Add one or more units. You can attach unit-level photos here too (they count as property photos for sync purposes).

Where photos show up

  • On the property detail page in a gallery.
  • On the properties grid (first photo becomes the card thumbnail).
  • On any active listing for that property's units — the listing's own photo array is populated automatically.
  • On the public listings.nestbord.com/<org>/<listing-slug> page.

What if I added photos after creating the listing?

Existing listings backfill when the next photo is uploaded. If you want to force it, there's a one-shot endpoint — from the management portal while logged in, run this in the browser console:

fetch("/api/documents/backfill-photos", { method: "POST" }).then(r => r.json()).then(console.log)

You'll get back counts of how many properties and listings were updated.
