Understanding Your MLS Image License
When you book a photoshoot with Rae Scott Photography, one of the most important things to consider is the license associated with your MLS booking. Understanding the terms of your license helps ensure that you’re using the images correctly and in accordance with the agreement. Let’s take a closer look at the single-use license you’ve purchased and how you can upgrade to a multi-use license if needed.
What Is a Single-Use License?
A single-use license is included with your booking and is specifically designed for a single business party/entity for one-time use. This license covers the images for the purpose of marketing the property you are currently selling. Typically, this includes:
With this license, the images are intended solely for the sale of the property and may be used for things like:
Real estate listings on websites like Zillow, Realtor.com, or MLS platforms.
Online advertisements promoting the sale of the property such as on social media or a website (please note, you may not use the photos in a portfolio for a separate business)
Printed materials for marketing, such as flyers or brochures directly related to the sale.
How Do You Upgrade Your License?
If you’ve purchased a single-use license but later realize that you need to use the images beyond the initial sale—such as for ongoing marketing, your website, or a portfolio—you can easily upgrade to a multi-use license. This license allows for broader use of the images for long-term promotional purposes.
