What does your MLS charge for photos.

[doosk]

Here in Northern Virginia our MLS system (MRIS) is going to offer up to 30 free photos per listing in the near future. In the past we only got 1 exterior photo and had an option to pay for $12 for 6 photos or $20 for 20 photos . Just curious what other MLS systems have been charging agents for photo uploading if any.

MRIS is pleased to announce a new photo upload product, Keystone Photo Upload. Effective Sunday, October 28, 2007, Keystone Photo Upload will replace Upshot. With Upshot, there was a fee for photo uploads - Using Keystone Photo Upload, there will be no fee - it is now a benefit included with your MRIS account.

Keystone Photo Upload includes all of these features:

* Every feature Upshot included and more.
* Upload up to 30 FREE photos.
* Set a custom sort order.
* Add a custom caption and description for each photo.
* Is accompanied by a new MRIS slideshow, which will do the following:
o Display custom sort order as set by the listing agent
o Display custom caption and description as entered by the agent
o Display in three different sizes, which can be set by the viewer
o Display in three different speeds, which can be set by the viewer
o Display in Matrix, Active Agent, Lingo, Bridge

We get up to 25 photos for "free" even though we pay annual and quarterly fees, making the MLS a very expensive, yet crappy, piece of software.

In Austin it is 8 photos for "free", and if you don't have at least one photo you get a fine from the MLS!!

With RMLS we were allowed 8 and recently went to 16 photos available. No extra charges beyond standard MLS fees. We are required to have at least 1 photo and the first photo or only photo which ever it may be must be of the front of the home. There are always a few that don't follow rules very well.

The Greater Louisville Association of Realtors (GLAR) allows 20 photos "free".

We have ours contracted out to Obeo, a good virtual tour company for $35. You can contract with then for more obviously. This is in the SF bay area.

With a digital, I usually always do my own.

We get 10 plus can add links and or documents like sellers disclosure and the brochure which help.
