Combined Los Angeles Westside Multiple Listing Services CLAW MLS via Vesta Plus allows all subject photos except main photo to be removed, unpublished from the listing when the property is sold. It's for privacy reasons which I totally understand. Seeing the condition of the listed and sold comparables is such a vital data source for real estate appraisers. I wrote an email to the MLS asking if there is a way real estate appraisers could view the photos .
"I received notice yesterday that all photos except one main photo could be removed from the MLS when the sale closes. As a real estate appraiser this will be a huge loss of data and information. It will affect the appraisals of all homes if we can't see the condition, upgrades or amenities of the comparables.
Is there a way for appraisers to access the hidden photos for appraisals? We can agree never to post the photos publicly."
CLAW MLS response.
"Thank you for your email and we understand your concerns. Please note that as of right now, selling agents do already remove all photos except the main one once a listing is sold. Unfortunately, once the photos are unpublished, there is no way to retrieve them.
Removing all photos is a very common request as selling agents are constantly being asked by the new owners to remove photos due to safety concerns."
Someone commented on LinkedIn that the photos would still be on Zillow. Only if the owner doesn't request their removal. You can remove all photos of a house you claim to own.
It may be a good idea for appraisers to print out the MLS listing of comps used with photos for the work file in case there are questions later. Click print, with photos, save as pdf.
