WIREX Welcomes Northwestern Wisconsin MLS

MLS Photos
A frequent question is if Broker A has a listing and has one or more photos for the listing and his listing eventually goes off the market, can Broker B use those photos when they subsequently list the property? NO!
Photos are copyrighted material and the property of the listing broker. Unless Broker B has permission from Broker A, Broker B cannot copy or use the photos from the MLS data base. If Broker B does use the photos in the MLS, the MLS will delete them from the listing. MLS may have a primary photo taken and the appropriate fee will be assessed to the broker.
Please remember that, as with the “Public Remarks”, you cannot put showing information, office/agent information, signs, web sites, etc. in any of the photos submitted to the MLS. Photos containing inappropriate information will be deleted and sanctions will be levied.
Can’t Find That REALTOR®?
A Realtor® calls and asks to set up an appointment to show one of your properties, but you can’t find them in the flexMLS system!! Not all Realtors® are in the flexMLS system – they may belong to the Central WI MLS, the South Central MLS, Northeast MLS or the Northwest MLS. To verify membership for all Realtors® in Wisconsin, go to www.wra.org and click on “Find A Realtor”. The WRA web site lists all Realtor® members, their local association affiliation and contact information.
The MLS appreciates your business and support and looks forward to your comments, questions and suggestions regarding any subject. Contact (InMyOpinion@metromls.com) or call (414) 778-5400.
