MLS Rule Change
Effective June 1st, MLS Rule 1.14 (B) states: Virtual Tours, photographs and any other form of media placed in the MLS shall contain no Broker, Company, or Agent branding. Producer information may be provided. This is merely an expansion of the existing rule that prohibits branding on still photos. Just as with a still photo, virtual tours and any other media in the MLS is not for the purpose of self promotion, but only to provide additional information about the listing.
