LSTAR has noticed that some members are submitting branded tours for their listings in the PropTx MLS® System. Please be reminded that virtual tours on the PropTx MLS® System must not include any information identifying the Listing Brokerage, the Listing Broker/Salesperson, or the Virtual Tour Company.
The fine for this type of breach is $500. LSTAR requests that members review their tour links and update them to ensure they are unbranded.
According to PropTx MLS® Rule R-106:
- Information published on TRREB’s MLS® System and Virtual Tour shall only contain information pertaining to the property to which the MLS® Listing Agreement pertains and shall not include:
- a) any internet links, e-mail links or references to any internet links not directly related to the specific property to which the MLS® Listing Agreement pertains; or
- b) any information that promotes goods or services of any kind.
- All Virtual Tours are subject to RECO Rules, including but not limited to, advertising.
In add/edit, if you select the Information icon ( i ) it will explain how to complete fields. This is the explanation for the Virtual Tour URL:
The next PropTx release of enhancements and new fields will include:
- Branded Virtual Tour URL1
- Unbranded Virtual Tour URL2
