Can I use satellite or aerial imagery from Google, Bing, or other sources?
No, by submitting any media to the MLS, the Participant and Subscriber (Listing Agents) represent and warrant that they own the right to reproduce and display the media or they have procured such rights and all necessary licenses from appropriate parties. It is therefore crucial to ensure that the photographs used in MLS listings are of good quality and obtained through proper channels to avoid any copyright violations. Hence, the pictures that are taken from Google/Bing cannot be used.
