At least it's not rotated 90 degrees! On my MLS, all photos are displayed landscape-mode, so if you've rotated the camera to take a "tall" picture, it'll show up rotated on the screen. And people do it all the time.

Our MLSs require at least one photo to be uploaded within 48 Hours of Listing or be subject to an initial $75 Fine plus $10 for every day thereafter. Many people upload a photo of a sign saying "No Photo Available", or on New Construction put up "A Stick Drawing" just to satisfy the requirement. I like Fines; they keep our MLS Subscription Costs down !

On Land Listings, a picture of some trees usually works; or some grass. One blade looks just like the next. "Long Range Views" can be satisfied with a picture taken off a Travel Calendar. Sand at the Waterfront Listings can be generic also; like in an hour glass.

Some people are just motivated, out of principle, to get a head start on other Brokers in the MLS by these delaying tactics. Now that I think of it, every house I have sold had one of those fancy schmancy 90° corners (well, close to 90° anyway). With all the smoking and sniffing that the Carpenters do up here, it's a wonder anything is plumb or at 90° !

Doesn't the MLS require that all primary photos show the front facade of the property? If yours doesn't, it's a good time to start requesting a policy change.
