Label the staged image
Use clear wording such as Virtually Staged or AI Staged near the image where buyers will see it.

Virtual Staging Disclosure Guide
Virtual staging should help buyers understand potential, not confuse them about the current condition. The safest workflow is simple: keep fixed features honest, label staged images clearly, and keep the original available.
A practical disclosure checklist
Keep the original photo
Show or store the original so buyers, sellers, and compliance reviewers can compare what changed.
Do not change permanent condition
Avoid edits that make flooring, windows, views, cabinets, damage, or room size look materially different.
Check your local rules
MLS, brokerage, platform, and local advertising rules vary. Use this guide as a practical checklist, not legal advice.
Suggested caption language
Keep labels plain. Buyers should not need to infer that the image was altered.

What RoomFlip can and cannot verify
RoomFlip can help create a staged visual draft and compare before/after images. It cannot certify MLS compliance, local advertising law, property condition, accessibility, structural details, or whether a disclosure satisfies a specific broker policy.
For professional listings, review the final image at mobile thumbnail size and full listing size. Small artifacts, changed fixtures, or hidden constraints can create trust problems even when the overall image looks good.
