Lifestyle Photography
This spring, the VMLS sent out a notice on Lifestyle Photography. Just a reminder, we do not allow lifestyle photography. Below is a reminder of what we allow and consider lifestyle photography. We do not provide warnings and will fine lifestyle photos if present in listings.
Photos of amenities that are included in the ownership of the property may be uploaded on a listing. This could include complex tennis courts, swimming pools, and common areas of a condominium complex will be allowed but shall include a description of the photo (example: community owned-tennis courts).
Photos in the MLS should ONLY contain photos taken of and from the property. If you cannot see it from the property, a photo of it should not be uploaded in the MLS.
Members are free to include lifestyle and community photos for their own listing on their own websites or marketing materials for the property. Please be sure you have the appropriate copyright to use the photo. “Lifestyle” photos will no longer be included in MLS data feeds as part of a listing for IDX and VOW display.

Be Aware of Sign Rules
Please make sure that when listing a property or hosting an open house, you are aware of the sign rules for that Town, Neighborhood, or Complex.
You can check rules through town websites, HOA, Metro districts to see if there are restrictions on types of signs, number of signs, design of signs, and other limitations before putting your sign up or out. Vail Board of REALTORS® does not provide sign ordinance information as it is maintained and dictated by other entities. All information should be gathered from the originator of the regulation whether it is a municipality, HOA, metro district, etc.
