RSC RULES AND REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT ALL LISTINGS BE SUBMITTED WITHIN 72 HOURS AFTER THE SIGNATURE OF THE SELLER HAS BEEN OBTAINED ON THE LISTING AGREEMENT.

SPECIAL NOTE ON PPMLS RESIDENTIAL LISTINGS:

If a Category 1 - Residential REALTOR® submitted photo or rendering has not been received by RSC within 7 days after the El Paso or Teller county listing was submitted, then RSC will order a photograph, and the listing agent will be charged $15.00. This requirement applies regardless of the listing status.

When photos are delivered to the RSC office (430 N. Tejon St., Suite 301):
They can be on CD or memory stick. Use the listing number to name the file appropriately. The first image for the listing 123123 would be 123123_0.jpg, and additional photos for that listing can be named by adding numbers (_1 to _14). So if you want to submit three additional images for listing 123123, you would name them 123123_1.jpg, 123123_2.jpg and 123123_3.jpg with a maximum of 15 additional photos at a charge of $3.00 each. The images for this listing would then be:

123123_0.jpg (This would be the primary photo, all others are additional.)
123123_1.jpg
123123_2.jpg
123123_3.jpg
and so on to 123123_14.jpg

The PPMLS Rules state, "the first photo must be an exterior shot or rendering of the property. The lower portion of the photo is reserved for the RSC watermark. The use of "fades", "panoramic views", or other overlays is prohibited on listing photos.

On all photos, the photo area or photo remarks shall not contain licensee name, office information, telephone numbers, listing address, maps, email address, hyperlink or any identifying information or means of contact.

When you upload photos into the PPMLS Tempo system, be sure they are in jpg format and file size is 500k or smaller.

If your photos too large (over 500k):
Photo Resize can assist you in re-sizing your photos to the correct size for uploading into the PPMLS system.
Photos must then be uploaded into the PPMLS system.
