Since January 1, 2026, California (AB 723) made it illegal to publish a digitally altered listing photo without a disclosure label, a public link to the original, and a retention record. Washington (NWMLS) and British Columbia have similar rules, and NAR 2026 guidelines are following suit.
For most agents and brokers, that means every single staged photo needs to be tracked, labeled, and verifiable before it hits the MLS.
SEAREI generates a tamper-evident MLS-compliance certificate for every staged real estate listing — disclosure label, public verification URL, audit trail. Built for AB 723. $49/listing flat, $39/photo Core Staging, or $29/agent/month brokerage subscription.
