MLS photo rules for AI enhancement and virtual staging
Every MLS can set its own photo, caption, and disclosure rules. This checklist helps agents avoid the most common mistakes before uploading AI-enhanced or virtually staged photos.

Why it matters
Label virtual staging
Many MLS rules require clear staging disclosure.
Do not change permanent features
Walls, windows, flooring, views, fixtures, and room dimensions must remain truthful.
Retain original images
Originals help with broker review, MLS questions, and buyer transparency.
Review captions before upload
A safe image can still fail if the caption or description overpromises.
