Photo Privacy Options in FLEXMLS Launch May 1st

The California Desert Association of REALTORS® and FLEXMLS are launching a new photo privacy option for listings. Photos Marked Private While Off-Market is a new feature that launched in FLEXMLS on May 1, 2025.

The new photo privacy options allow you to restrict photos from public view without removing them permanently from a listing. Private photos cannot be viewed via the consumer portal, subscription emails, shared links, or public versions of reports. Marking the photos as private will restrict access to only members of the MLS and will no longer feed out to IDX sites.
