MLS Listing Data & DMCA Copyright Claims

MLS LISTING DATA

This website displays listing data from one or more third-party Multiple Listing Services (MLS). If your copyright claim is regarding a listing, that same listing data is most likely being displayed/shared by many other websites that are related to your broker's intended permission to "opt-in" as an Internet Data Exchange (IDX) participant. If your broker chooses not to permit the display of your listings by other Participants, you must notify the MLS that your consent is being withheld and that you wish to "opt-out" as an IDX participant. If that is the case, you will need to make your claim directly to the Copyright Department of the MLS providing the MLS data via the IDX, and more specifically, to the broker who originally submitted a specific listing - and who is responsible for updating it in the MLS database. For more information about the CRMLS IDX Transparency Initiative, please click here.

Listings, including their photos, that are displayed on this website are clearly marked with an MLS logo, name and/or identification number, including the listing agent and broker’s information that identify the source of the listing (e.g., Featured Villa Park home (photo) is listed by James Hoppe DRE#01390168 of Costera Luxury Properties DRE#02115250 (949)400-1072 MLS#OC19236914). Additionally, MLS disclaimers are shown in the footer of pages that contain listing data. Individual MLS’s may have their own DMCA policies similar to this one.
