Step-by-Step Removal Guide

  1. Find the listing and check its status

    Open the property on Realtor.com and copy its URL. Note whether it is active, sold, expired or canceled.

    Open Realtor.com (opens in a new tab)
  2. For active listings, contact the agent

    Ask the listing agent or broker to update the source MLS record. Realtor.com explains that owners cannot directly edit an agent’s MLS listing.

  3. Request off-market photo removal

    Contact customer care at customercare@realtor.com or (800) 878-4166. Include your property link and specify the photos or other media you want reviewed.

  4. Complete ownership verification

    Ask customer care which documents and delivery method they currently accept. SmartMLS says an off-market request may require a deed, title, tax bill or another accepted record showing the owner and address; utility bills are not accepted under that guidance.

  5. Confirm what was removed

    After receiving confirmation, review the property while signed out. Ask separately about any remaining floor plan, tour or image, and keep the case number for follow-up.
