Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Sam, the maker. I spent years designing luxury interiors before I built software. Virtual staging always bothered me: the tools made empty rooms look beautiful, but ignored the law. Buyers were being shown homes that didn't exist, and agents were taking the liability. Then California passed AB 723 (effective Jan 1, 2026), every digitally altered listing photo now has to be disclosed, with a label, the original image, and an audit trail. NWMLS and the NAR Code of Ethics added similar rules. Most staging tools just kept making pretty pictures. So we built SEAREI. For any listing, it generates the disclosure label, hosts the original photo on a public verification page (with a QR code buyers can scan), and issues a tamper-evident compliance certificate. Beautiful staging + automatic legal proof, in one package. You can see a live compliance certificate here: https://app.searei.com/verify/35... A few things I'd love your help with: — If you're a real estate agent, photographer, or brokerage: does this solve a real headache for you? Honest reactions welcome. — If you're a builder: what would you want to see next? AI critique me freely. — And if it resonates, an upvote means a lot, everyone helps a tiny solo team reach the people who need this. I'll be here all day answering questions. Ask me anything.

How are you handling MLS compliance for your virtual staging photos?

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.
