Where's The Photo? No Pic, No Flex!


A Memo from the MLS Committee


PHOTOGRAPHS - A minimum of one photo is already a required field under the current policy. However, effective immediately, new listings in the system will not be activated until the photo is actually downloaded and a part of the listing data entry.

Commercial properties will be exempted from this policy due to the very confidential nature that sometimes is associated with listings of this type.

LISTINGS OF DEACTIVATED or SUSPENDED AGENTS - Our existing MLS Rules & Procedures Manual addresses the procedure in dealing with listings should a Brokerage become suspended, deactivated, or otherwise cease to function as a real estate entity. However, the policy is unclear should an individual agent find themselves, for whatever reason, unable to maintain their status as a REALTOR Member. Therefore, the MLS Committee has expanded the policy to include a procedural cure when this circumstance presents itself. (Section 1.16)
