IMAGE LICENSING

I WANT TO REMIND ALL CLIENTS THAT WHEN YOU PURCHASE IMAGES FROM MY PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO, YOU RECEIVE A NON-EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE THOSE IMAGES FOR THE PURPOSE SPECIFIED. THESE IMAGES CANNOT BE TRANSFERRED OR SOLD TO A THIRD PARTY. THESE USES WOULD INCLUDE MARKETING A PROPERTY ON THE MLS, ZILLOW, OR IN OTHER MEDIA. IF ANYONE ELSE WOULD LIKE TO USE THE IMAGES FOR THEIR OWN MARKETING PURPOSES (A STAGER, AN INTERIOR DESIGNER, BUILDER ETC), THEY'LL NEED TO PURCHASE A SEPARATE LICENSE FROM ME. CLICK ON THE BUTTON BELOW TO SEE AN EXCELLENT, SHORT VIDEO EXPLAINING THE CONCEPT OF IMAGE LICENSING.

HAVING SAID THIS I WANT TO EXPLAIN MY POLICY (FOR THE LOCAL REAL ESTATE COMMUNITY) ON RE-LICENSING LISTING IMAGES. IF AN AGENT LOSES A LISTING TO ANOTHER AGENT AND THE NEW AGENT WISHES TO USE THE ORIGINAL IMAGES FOR THEIR LISTING, I'LL SELL THEM THE PHOTOS FOR THE PRICE THE ORIGINAL LISTING AGENT PAID FOR THEM. THEN, I'LL ISSUE A CREDIT TOWARDS A NEW PHOTO SHOOT TO THE ORIGINAL PURCHASING AGENT FOR A FUTURE LISTING. I'M HOPING THIS POLICY WILL ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO USE MY PROFESSIONAL SERVICES WITHOUT WORRYING THAT THEIR INVESTMENT WILL BE LOST LATER. OBVIOUSLY IF THE NEW LISTING AGENT DECIDES TO USE THEIR OWN OR NEW PHOTOS THEN THERE'S NO ISSUE.
