Disclosure-labeled export
The staged photo with a clear virtually-staged / digitally-altered disclosure and QR link on the image, for boards that require an on-image mark (many don’t — use the clean export below).
Overview
MLS Ready — $49 per listing.
Your staged photos plus our disclosure package. Unlimited photos per listing. Done in about 2 minutes. Upload your staged photos, select your MLS board, and get the full disclosure package: the export your board requires, a public verification URL, the hosted original, and a dated certificate.
The problem it solves
You staged the photos. Now California AB 723 says every single one needs a disclosure label and a public link to the original.
What you receive: the staged image, the unaltered original hosted at a permanent public URL, the disclosure wording that travels with the listing, a public verification page, and a dated certificate with a tamper-evident fingerprint.
California Business and Professions Code Section 10140.8 — in effect since January 1, 2026 — requires a conspicuous disclosure statement on or adjacent to every digitally altered listing image, plus a link to a publicly accessible website where buyers can see the original photo.
“Digitally altered” includes furniture, flooring, paint color, landscaping, and views through windows. Willful violation is a crime under California Real Estate Law.
MLS Ready packages any staged photo — regardless of who staged it — with everything required for compliance. $49 per listing flat (unlimited photos). About 2 minutes. Done.

How it works
Three steps. About 2 minutes. Full disclosure package.
Upload your photos
Drag in the original, unaltered photo and the staged version side by side. The interface shows them in a split-screen preview so you can confirm they match.
Select your MLS board
Pick your board from the list — or choose "My MLS isn't listed / I'm not sure" — then preview your full disclosure package before paying.
Pay $49 and download instantly
Single-click payment via Stripe (credit card, Apple Pay, Google Pay). Your full disclosure package is available for instant download. No waiting.
What you get
Every MLS Ready package includes seven deliverables.
Everything required for compliance — and then some. SEAREI generates the complete package so you have a paper trail if questions ever arise.
Clean export (no label)
The staged photo without an overlay — for use in listing contexts where on-image labeling is not required but you want the file ready.
Public verification page
A unique URL (e.g. app.searei.com/verify/job_abc123) displaying the original alongside the staged version with disclosure text. Built for AB 723's internet-website requirement (§10140.8; confirm your board's current rule).
Original photo on a public URL
Your unaltered original hosted and accessible at the verification URL, satisfying AB 723's requirement for publicly accessible original images.
Dated certificate
Documents which jurisdiction's rules were applied, the disclosure text used, and timestamps of when the package was generated — your paper trail.
Machine-readable compliance data
The bundle includes a metadata.json and disclosure.txt with the disclosure wording and verification link — so compliance systems and auditors can read them directly.
QR code for print materials
A downloadable QR code linking to the verification page, ready for open house flyers, property brochures, and print marketing.

Who uses MLS Ready
MLS Ready is for anyone who has staged photos but not the disclosure package.
Agents with existing staged photos
You used a staging tool or hired a photographer who stages. Now you need the disclosure package before you upload to MLS. MLS Ready handles it for $49.
Photographers offering the disclosure package as a service
Add MLS Ready as a billable add-on to your staging packages. At $49 per listing flat, it is easy to include in your pricing. There is no separate partner program or volume rate — you buy each listing at the standard $49 flat and include it in what you charge your client. Prefer to stay out of it entirely? Point your clients at MLS Ready and they buy direct.
Transaction coordinators managing listings
Review compliance status across multiple listings from one account. Generate disclosure packages for any agent’s staged photos before MLS upload.
Flat-fee MLS users and FSBOs
You are listing your own property or using a flat-fee service and need a professional disclosure package without a full brokerage workflow. MLS Ready requires no ongoing relationship.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions about MLS Ready
What photos do I need to upload?
You need two photos of the same property space: the original, unaltered photo (the "before") and the staged or edited version (the "after"). They should be shot from the same angle.
Does MLS Ready work with photos staged by someone else?
Yes. MLS Ready accepts any staged photo — it does not need to have been staged by SEAREI. You supply the original and the staged version, and SEAREI generates the disclosure package.
How long does it take?
The disclosure package is generated instantly after payment. Most users complete the process in about 2 minutes from upload to download.
Do I need to create an account?
No account is required for your first MLS Ready purchase. An account is created automatically with your email address for package delivery. Returning users can log in to access past packages.
What if my MLS is not listed?
Select "My MLS isn’t listed / I’m not sure" to apply standard virtually staged disclosure language that follows NAR Code of Ethics guidelines. You can adjust the wording in the preview before paying.
Can I use MLS Ready for full staging orders too?
MLS Ready is for photos you already have staged. If you need SEAREI to stage empty rooms, use the full staging option at $39 per image — the MLS Ready Package is included at no extra charge.
