This is what ships. Verify it yourself.

Job #359 is a real MLS Ready Package that shipped on April 30, 2026 — the customer brought their own staged photos and SEAREI wrapped the compliance proof around them. Its disclosure label, hosted original, certificate and public verification URL are all real and live: open the link on your phone, scan the QR code, and watch the certificate validate against its tamper-proof SHA-256 fingerprint. The before/after room images shown below are an illustrative example.

MLS Ready Pack: wrap the proof around your staged photos

Three steps. All instant.

01

Enter the listing address and start the job

Takes thirty seconds. Address, city, state, zip. This locks the compliance scope before any image touches the system. Nothing can be uploaded until the address is recorded — the first entry in the dated record of everything.

SEAREI MLS Ready Pack — Step 1 intake form
02

Confirm the staged photos are yours, not SEAREI's

One checkbox. SEAREI is packaging the compliance files around your work, not certifying its own. This attestation is timestamped and becomes part of the permanent dated record of everything — your declaration that the staging is customer-supplied.

03

Upload original and staged pairs — pay once, download instantly

Each pair is one room. Drop in the unaltered original and the staged version, add as many rooms as the listing needs, and pay $49 once — unlimited rooms. The full compliance bundle is ready the moment you submit: no queue, no review window, no waiting.

The MLS Ready Package: what's actually in it

Four proofs. Every listing. Automatic.

Disclosure of virtually staged photos is now law in California, Washington, and most regulated North American markets. MLS boards are auditing. Agents are being asked to produce documentation they don't have. SEAREI ships four proofs with every job, automatically, without you lifting a finger. They cannot be skipped, edited, or backdated. Neither can the questions stop you.

Every rule we publish is checked against the MLS’s own rulebook — with the rule number and a link to the source.

  1. 01

    Disclosure Certificate

    A dated certificate showing exactly what was disclosed, for which photos. The document you hand over if anyone ever asks.

    Certificate
  2. 02

    Public verification link

    Anyone — a buyer, your MLS, an auditor — can open it and see the disclosure and the original photo. No login, nothing to explain.

    Link
  3. 03

    Tamper-proof fingerprint

    Proof your staged photo wasn't quietly altered afterward. (Technical details live on our verification page for those who want them.)

    Fingerprint
  4. 04

    A dated record of everything

    What was disclosed, when, for which image — kept for you, ready the day a question comes.

    Record
Disclosure artifacts generated for every documented market. Confirm your board’s current rule.
Most staging tools apply one rule to every market above — on many of these boards, a one-size disclosure is itself a violation. We cite each board’s own rule.

The rules are real — and they contradict each other

One board requires the label. The next one bans it.

Toledo, OH — NORIS

Requires the phrase “Virtually Staged” on the image (§4.5) — one of the few MLSs that mandates an on-photo label.

Read the rule →

Bright MLS — Mid-Atlantic

Bars text or graphics added to a listing photo (Appendix E §4.A.2) — so that same on-image label is a violation. Staging is disclosed in the MLS, not on the pixels.

Read the rule →

North Texas — NTREIS

Has no dedicated virtual-staging rule at all; §7.30 only bars modifications that misrepresent the property.

Read the rule →

One MLS mandates the label on the photo; the next bans text on the photo entirely — a tool that applies one rule everywhere is wrong somewhere. See all 21 jurisdictions, each cited to its source →

Three plans. One certificate.

Three plans. One certificate.

You either need staging done, you already have it done, or you run a brokerage and need to stop worrying about it. SEAREI is built around all three. Every plan ships the same compliance certificate. The only thing that changes is the price and the volume.

What you receive: the staged image, the original unaltered image, a disclosure label and QR verification link, and a public verification page that proves it — all in one MLS-ready package.

Questions agents ask before signing up

The questions that actually get asked.

Answered precisely, the way a broker reviewing a compliance audit would want them answered.

My MLS just started enforcing AI disclosure. What exactly do I need to have?
Most MLS boards and state regulators are asking for: (1) a disclosure label on the staged image itself, (2) the unaltered original photo hosted at a publicly accessible URL, (3) a dated record of what was altered and when that can’t be quietly changed, and (4) proof the agent consented to the disclosure requirements. Every SEAREI delivery includes all four: a disclosure-labeled export, a permanent public verify URL with the original, a tamper-proof fingerprint of every file, and a signed compliance certificate (HTML).
Will this actually hold up if a compliance officer asks for documentation?
Yes. Every delivery includes a disclosure certificate, a tamper-proof fingerprint of the disclosed content, a permanent public verification URL, and a dated record of everything that happened to the photo. These are the four elements California AB 723, NWMLS, CRMLS, Bright MLS, Stellar MLS, and major Canadian boards consistently ask for. The verify URL shows the original photo beside the staged version, with all timestamps and disclosure language visible to anyone. No SEAREI account required.
How long does the verification URL stay live?
Permanently. Your verification page at app.searei.com/verify/359 never expires. Buyers, MLS compliance teams, and future auditors can inspect the original photo and the dated record of everything years after your delivery. That is not a feature. It is the requirement that makes the URL useful at all.
I already have staged photos from another service. Can I still get the MLS Ready Package?
Yes, that is MLS Ready at $49 per listing (unlimited photos). Upload the original and staged photos and SEAREI wraps the full disclosure package around them. Works with photos staged by any provider: BoxBrownie, Styldod, an in-house team, anyone. No account required for your first purchase. The whole thing takes about ten minutes.
Is the "designer review" a real person or just a quality score?
A real person. A senior interior designer reviews Core Staging images for realistic scale, proportions, style consistency, and fit against your specific listing context, before a SEAREI admin approves the order for delivery. Both steps are timestamped and recorded in the dated record of everything. Designer review is our standard process on every Core Staging order.
What does the brokerage subscription cost?
$29/agent/month — $348/year, billed annually. 12-month minimum. Each seat gets unlimited compliance certificates. One annual invoice, one dated record of everything. First month free for brokerages with 20+ agents (AB 723 launch promo). Cancellation: one click anytime from your dashboard; cancel at least 30 days before term-end to stop the annual auto-renewal (California AB 390).
Can we pipe delivery events into our CRM or transaction platform?
Yes. Outbound webhooks fire on job creation, designer approval, delivery, and first-download events. An API key gives full programmatic read access to all jobs and certificates. Most brokerage tech teams ship an integration in a day.
