Quick Overview (What & Why)
Once your listing post is created, you're not locked into the original design.
Note: This guide covers Listing Carousels. Listing Walkthrough Videos currently have a simplified editing experience and cannot be customized inside the Editor just yet.
For listing carousels, you can:
Edit the caption
Change the design template
Adjust fonts, colors, and font sizes
Rearrange or resize design elements
Access all of your imported Listing Assets and swap images at any time
Change your post orientation between Portrait (4:5) and Landscape (16:9)
Add or update your contact information, headshot, and logo
Save your customized design as a reusable listing template
This gives you complete control over the final look and feel of your listing before it's published.
Before You Start
Before customizing a listing post, make sure:
You are logged into your RealEstateContent.ai account.
You have already created a listing carousel post.
The post is not scheduled (scheduled posts must be unscheduled before editing).
Note: Even if your contact information, logo, and headshot are uploaded and enabled in your Brand Settings, they won't automatically apply to listing posts (just yet) the way they do for AI-generated posts. They can easily be added within the Editor.
How to Edit the Caption
Step 1: Open the Content Calendar
Locate the listing post you'd like to customize.
Step 2: Open the Listing Post
Click on the listing post to open the post preview.
Your caption will appear to the right of the design.
Step 3: Edit the Caption
You can either:
Click directly into the caption, or
Click Edit Caption.
From here, you can:
Update wording
Add or remove emojis
Adjust your call-to-action
Copy and paste text
Make any other edits you'd like
Optional: Regenerate the Caption
Click Regenerate this Caption to:
Make it shorter
Make it more personal
Make it less personal
Use Ask AI to provide your own custom instructions
💡 Tip: If you plan on making significant caption changes, it's usually easiest to do this before customizing your design.
How to Customize the Design
Step 1: Click Edit Design
This opens the Listing Editor.
Note: The Listing Editor is currently available for Listing Carousels only.
What You Can Customize
Change the Design Template
Browse through the available listing templates and select a new design at any time.
Your content will automatically update using your newly selected template.
Access Your Listing Assets
Click Assets inside the Editor to access every image that was imported from your listing.
From here, you can:
Replace photos on any slide
Swap images at any time
Add different listing photos into your design
💡 Good to Know: Even if you only selected a few photos while creating your listing post, all imported listing images remain available inside Assets.
Change the Post Orientation
Need a different layout?
You can switch your listing between:
Portrait (4:5)
Landscape (16:9)
at any time inside the Editor.
This makes it easy to repurpose your listing without starting over.
Lock or Unlock Background Images for Listing Posts
If your listing template uses a background image, you can choose exactly how the listing image is framed.
Simply click on the background image to lock or unlock it.
When unlocked, you can:
Drag the image to reposition it within the frame
Highlight the most important part of the photo
Adjust the crop without replacing the image
Once you're happy with the placement, lock the image again to prevent accidental movement.
💡 Pro Tip: This is especially helpful when showcasing key features like a beautiful kitchen, pool, backyard, or stunning front elevation.

Save Your Listing Design as a Template
Once you've customized your listing with your preferred branding, colors, fonts, layout, contact information, or logos, you can save it as a reusable listing template.
Simply click Save as Template inside the Editor.
The next time you create a Property Listing post, you'll be able to choose your saved template instead of starting from scratch.
