MLS Policy Tip: For Sale Signs Cannot Be Visible in Photos

Pictures on the MLS cannot be branded in any way.  This applies explicitly to your “For Sale” sign.  MLS photos are available to the public through MLS email and broker-operated websites.  For this reason, For Sale signs are considered very volatile and are subject to an immediate $100 fine. It doesn’t matter if the signage or other branding is on the primary or secondary photos.  It is an MLS policy violation and you will receive a fine.  Please check your listings photos for possible violations for yard signs or any other branding on your photos. Please review the actual MLS policy below.

Policy 1.03.05 – Unallowable Data on Photos and Public Documents – Fine with No Warning
$100, $200, $500 (escalated for additional infraction)

No marketing devices of any type (e.g., logos, readable for sale signs, company names, phone numbers, Web sites, e-mail addresses including embedded, overlaid or digitally stamped information etc.) shall appear on or with any photos or public documents except for the following:

  • Any listing with the MLS watermark “CR” must allow it to remain visible on the photo.
  • Any Build-to-Suit listing whose primary (first) photo must display one of the MLS images provided.
  • Any listing whose altered primary photo or image (whereby that primary photo or image displayed would not be what was visible at the property location) must display on that primary photo or image the words “Not Actual Property” in 36-point type or larger.
  • An image may have text overlays added on primary and secondary photos provided it is descriptive or informative of the property and it is not misleading, branded or leads to branding, i.e., no agent or brokerage information.
  • No people are permitted in the primary photo. People may appear in secondary photos.

Accessibility Features Worksheet Updated: New Selections Added for Elevator and Stair Lift

Two new selections have been added to the existing Accessibility Features Worksheet.  These new selected, Elevator and Stair Lift appear in the “Other” section of the form.  The Accessibility Features Worksheet is required when the MLS field “Accessibility Features” is set to Yes on a listing.  Agents are highly encouraged to attach the completed form to their listing in the MLS.

The Accessibility Features field acts as a notification that a property has Accessibility Features ‘of some kind’.  The required Accessibility Features Worksheet allows the agent to detail the degree of accessibility.  The form has been updated to include options for Elevator and Stair Lift.

Delayed Showing Authorization Form – Now Required for Listings with Future Showing Start Date

A new Delayed Showing Authorization Form has been created and adopted for use with listings that utilize a future Showing Start Date. The form is required for any listing for which the Showing Start Date is after the List Date. (Example: List Date June 1, Showing Start Date June 10.)

Brokers are permitted to formulate their own version of the form provided the substitute form contains at least the same requirements as the MLS version of the form.

Showing Start Date Limited to 30 Days in Future of List Date

The Showing Start Date will be limited to a maximum of 30 days in the future from the list date per MLS committee and Board of Directors’ decision.

If originally set less than 30 days in the future, it can be extended. The extension cannot be further out than 30 days from the original List Date. This policy will be effective immediately based on the ability of the vendor to implement the changes. Current listings where the Showing Start Date is more than 30 days out will not be affected.
