Can I remove historical listing photos?
MIBOR will not remove photos from listings as the BLC is the tool for Realtors to access property data. Removing these images would have a negative impact on the value of that listing for historical purposes and comps. We can, however, turn off the listing syndication and distribution to external sites, making the listing only available for BLC users, but not visible on public websites.
If you'd like us to turn off the distribution, submit a request to helpdesk@mibor.com that includes the listing number and address. Note: This request must be submitted or approved by the Listing Broker.
