11.5  Photographs/Images on the MLS.
By submitting photographs/images, including but not limited to photographs, images, graphics, audio and video recordings, virtual tours, drawings, renderings or any other representations (collectively  referenced in these Rules as photographs and or images) to the MLS, the Participant and/or Subscriber represents and warrants that he or she either owns the right to reproduce and display such photographs or has procured such rights and all necessary licenses from the appropriate party, and has the authority to grant and hereby grants the MLS and the other Participants and Subscribers the right to reproduce and display the photographs in accordance with these rules and regulations, and the CRMLS End User License Agreement.  Use of photographs by a subsequent listing agent requires prior written authorization from the originating Participant and/or Subscriber or other appropriate party with the legal right to reproduce and display such photographs.  Except by the MLS for purposes of protecting its rights under Section 11.6, branding of photographs, and or images, including but not limited to photographs displaying “for sale” signs posted on the property, is prohibited.

At least one (1) photograph or image accurately displaying the listed property (except where sellers expressly direct that photographs of their property not appear in MLS compilations) is required to be posted on the MLS within 5 days of submission of the listing in all categories other than Lots and Land or Business Opportunity.

The MLS reserves the right to remove any non-compliant photographs and or images from MLS display should Participant or Subscriber refuse or fail to bring said photographs and or images into compliance with the requirements of this rule after being notified and instructed to correct by the MLS.

After you have submitted your listing in the CRMLS Matrix platform, follow these steps to load your photo.

1.) Click the Add/Edit tab, then select the listing you want to modify in the Quick Modify drop down menu.

2.) Click the Manage Photos link on the Modify Listing screen

3.) Click Browse to navigate to the folder your photos are located in.

4.) Select the photo(s) you want to add to your listing and click open (you may add up to 75 photos to your listing).

5.) When you’re finished adding your photos, click save.

Due to legality, there is no longer an image license agreement. Use of photographs by a subsequent listing agent requires prior written authorization from the originating Participant and/or Subscriber or other appropriate party with the legal right to reproduce and display such photographs.

Sign Ordinances: REALTORS® should call the city they have a listing in to check on the rules of the city’s sign ordinance.
