Why disclose

A buyer who tours an empty house after seeing a furnished photo feels misled unless the photo said so. Most MLSs and the NAR Code of Ethics treat undisclosed edits that change how a property looks as misrepresentation, and many MLSs ask for the unedited photo alongside the staged one. Rules differ by MLS and state, so check yours; the wording above is a starting point, not legal advice.

Three habits that keep you safe

• Label the image itself. Captions get stripped when photos are syndicated to portals; a visible "Virtually staged" mark on the image does not.
• Keep the original. Upload the empty-room photo next to the staged one so buyers see both.
• Never hide defects. Adding furniture is fine. Covering cracks, stains or damage is not.
