Image Copyright
Photos used in MLS listings are protected under U.S. copyright law the moment they're created. By default, the photographer holds the copyright, not the agent, broker, or MLS. That’s why proper attribution and usage rights aren’t just best practices—they’re legal requirements.
​
To ensure transparency and compliance, REsides requires photographer information to be entered when listing photos are uploaded. This isn’t just a formality:
-
Legal Protection: Under the U.S. Copyright Act (Title 17, Sections 102 & 106), only the copyright holder can grant the rights to use, reproduce, or display images.
-
Clear Ownership Chain: REsides maintains agreements with photographers that transfer the rights to use listing photos. Identifying the original photographer helps document the source and ensures the photos are used in accordance with those agreements.
-
Safeguard for All Parties: This process protects everyone involved—agent, broker, MLS, and platform—from legal risks related to unauthorized image use.
​
📄 What You Need to Do:
-
Always enter the correct photographer details when uploading listing photos.
-
Ensure there is a signed agreement—either a usage license or full copyright assignment (ideally marked as a “work made for hire”).
-
Do not reuse images from other listings without clear, documented permission.
