All residential (single family, condo/townhouse and multi-family) listings must have a primary photo associated with it within 10 business days after the listing has been entered into the system. Listings designated as “No Photo Desired” must have written authorization from the seller to exclude a primary image, which must be provided to the service upon request.

Listing content including, but not limited to, photos, images, drawings, graphics and virtual tours related to listed property become the property of Georgia MLS at the time of submission. The act of submitting listing content to Georgia MLS grants our service ownership and authority to disseminate this content in Georgia MLS' copyrighted databases.

The removal of listing content that diminishes the quality or accuracy of the listing is strictly prohibited and will result in compliance penalties until the listing content is restored.

The focus of the primary photo must be the listed property and should be a single image of the exterior front view taken in daylight. Images must be of sufficient quality to be reproduced. Images must not include contact information, recognizable signage, or marketing/promotional messages. Alterations to images such as decorative frames, watermarks, time stamps, or false color representation are not allowed.

Primary photos should not contain images of people or animals. Renderings or plat maps are acceptable for listings under construction. These must be replaced with an acceptable image when the structure is recognizable. Members are encouraged to update the primary photo to reflect stages of construction. If a primary photo is provided for other non-residential property types, it must follow the same rules governing listed residential property. GAMLS has final judgment with regards to the acceptability of listing images. The primary photo may not be removed unless it is being replaced.
