Georgia MLS Photo Options
Georgia MLS Photo Options Effective July 18, 2008, Georgia MLS will no longer offer the "Take Photo" option. Over the past several years the number of photos provided by Georgia MLS has declined dramatically. Currently over 80% of all photos uploaded to Georgia MLS are supplied by the listing broker/agent. As a result, the "Take Photo" option will be discontinued on July 18, 2008. You can upload digital photographs either through RE/Xplorer 2 or through the SWIFT Dual Entry software. If you have any questions, you can click here for information and instructions on configuring your computer to use RE/Xplorer 2 and uploading photographs. Should you have difficulties, please email our support staff at support@gamls.com or contact us at 770-493-9000.
