» Upload Your Photo to Matrix

Subscribers can upload up to 40 property photos for free directly into their listing in Matrix, or submit them to MLS photo department via email. Please be sure to include the MLS number, property address, and the listing agent’s office code.

All listings must include at least one exterior photo within 7 days of being entered into the MLS. Failure to comply with this requirement will result in a $50 fine.

In addition, if an exterior photo is not submitted within the required timeframe, an MLS photographer will be assigned to take the exterior photo. A $30 photography fee will be charged to the listing agent.

To avoid these fees, please ensure that your listing includes an exterior photo within the required 7-day period.

Recommended Photo Format

When submitting photos either to the MLS Photo Department or directly into the MLS system, please keep in mind that the photos you submit will be exported to various websites over the internet, including RILiving.com and Realtor.com.

To ensure that your listings are viewed correctly via all internet sites, we highly recommend the following:

• Photos should be in JPEG format (.jpg)
• Photos should be  in COLOR (not black & white)
• Photo orientation should be landscape

Recommended Photo File Name

When emailing your photos to the MLS Photo Department, we recommend naming the photo files with the MLS number of the property. If submitting additional photos, please add a suffix to the MLS# to designate the order you would like them added. For example:

123456_1.jpg (main photo)
123456_2.jpg (first supplement photo)
123456_3.jpg (second supplement photo)

Confirmation of Receipt

Members sending photos via e-mail will receive a return message acknowledging receipt of your photos.

Photo Enhancements

Please note, digital images cannot be enhanced by MLS staff. All photos received in digital format will be entered “as is”. Please remember, all existing MLS rules and regulations regarding the submittal and formatting of listing photos still apply. Non-conforming e-photos will be returned.
