Virtual staging, in 60 seconds.

AI virtual staging uses a generative image model to add furniture, lighting, art, and soft goods to a photo of an empty or vacant listing room. A good virtual staging tool only changes what a human stager would change — furniture and decor — while keeping the room's structure, windows, flooring, camera angle, and view unchanged.

Virtual staging is legal in every US state when disclosed. Most state real estate commissions (CA AB 723, NAR SOP 12-1, REBNY, FR-BAR, TREC advertising rules, NWMLS image policy) require agents to label altered listing photos and, in some cases, to keep the original available on request. Hausey's MLS-safe mode ships a state-specific disclosure line with every output and keeps the original one click away.

Hausey Pro is $29/month for unlimited MLS-safe rooms. Agent Pro ($79/month) adds the listing export pack (ZIP with original + every staged variation + disclosure text + printable cover PDF with QR evidence page), state-law disclosure presets for CA / NY / FL / TX / WA, a dedicated /agent dashboard, and broker approval workflow. Traditional stagers charge $25–$100 per photo with 24–72 hour turnarounds.

Without structural checks, some tools drift — they'll change flooring, move windows, add arches or wall millwork. Hausey's MLS-safe mode runs a second AI pass on every output that compares the staged version to the original across windows, doors, walls, fixtures, view through windows, camera angle, flooring, and wall additions. Any drift flags the variation; hard failures trigger regeneration.

Well-executed virtual staging is designed to be photoreal — buyers can visualize the space, not guess whether the photo is real. That's precisely why every state requires disclosure. Hausey ships the disclosure line with every output; paste it into your MLS description and the ethics question resolves itself.

Living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, dining rooms, home offices, nurseries, and outdoor spaces. The system performs best on well-lit empty or partially-furnished rooms where the architecture is clearly visible.

Yes, on any plan. CA AB 723 and several MLSes require agents to keep the unaltered original available on request. We keep it indefinitely and download is always one click.

Compliance is always your responsibility — every MLS has specific rules. Hausey's MLS-safe mode is designed to meet the common denominator across CA, NY, FL, TX, WA, and NAR ethics: structural integrity preserved, original available, disclosure text provided. Our state landing pages (/for-realtors/california etc.) summarize the applicable rules.
