When loading a new listing, a REALTOR® has a multitude of factors to consider. While worrying about complex issues such as pricing and competition, it can be easy to forget a regulation or two. However, a basic understanding of our rules and regulations will help make the listing process easier and more efficient for both REALTOR® and client.
The following are some of the most frequently forgotten rules and regulations that a REALTOR® should keep in mind to ensure his or her listings are correct, fair, and – most importantly – effective!
- When adding a “Virtual Tour” or “Video Tour” for a listing, please double-check that the tour is free of branding (such as personal contact information or advertising).
- Similarly, links or contact information (including notes such as, “Call listing agent,” or, “Call for appointment”) are not allowed in the “Public Remarks” section of a listing.
- There are still many listings that do not have the correct photograph in the number 1 space. The first photograph should always be of the exterior building view. (If the property is land, the first photograph should be of the bare land.) Remember, RMLS™ offers up to 15 additional photo spaces for any other shots of the listing you might want to add!
If you would like to get reacquainted with all of our up-to-date rules and regulations, please check out Document 1450 at RMLSweb. You might also like to take our most recent Rules and Regulations Quizzes (Quizzes 14 and 15), to test yourself!

Printing multiple reports is more convenient than ever!
We’ve received input from subscribers about their desire to print multiple reports, such as History and Tax full, along with Agent and Client Full reports. It’s now possible! The Combined Reports feature that is now available on RMLSweb allows agents to print multiple reports for a maximum of 25 listings at one time. Agents can gather information related to a particular property or set of properties with fewer clicks of the mouse!

To create a Combined Report, select up to 25 listings on the Search Results screen and then choose “Combined Reports” from the “Select Report” drop down list. Due to the size of the report, Combined Reports are limited to 25 listings. You can drag and drop reports to arrange in the sequence you choose and also print or PDF a Combined Report.
A new report called Client Map is also available in Combined Reports. This report shows information similar to the Buyer Tour Map report and also has a large map image. Client Map is available on its own or can be included in Combined Reports.
If you’d like help getting to know Combined Reports, view this tutorial for more information:
