Updated Photo Policy: What You Can Change—and Must Disclose

Realcomp’s revised photo policy outlines which changes are permitted when editing or virtually staging listing photos. Photographic alteration, retouching, or virtual staging must be disclosed in the photo descriptions and is only permissible to make the following modifications to photographs of a listed property:

• Removal of temporary visual obstructions, such as parked cars
• Adding furniture to an empty room
• Removing furniture or clutter from a room
• Enhancing weather conditions
• Lightening or darkening interior rooms to correct photographic exposure 
• Blurring or obscuring private, proprietary, sensitive or confidential information of the seller or resident, or the seller or resident's family (for example, faces appearing in photographs and license plate numbers)

All other types of photographic alteration, retouching, or virtual staging are not permitted.

Before uploading edited photos, make sure the changes fall within these permitted categories and are disclosed in the photo descriptions.
