Sandra Noy via Pedra · Vendor case study · Mar 4, 2026 - First step

Compliance note: Disclose virtually staged and AI-edited photos in the listing and keep the unedited photos available; never remove permanent defects or change views, and follow your MLS photo rules.
Suggested prompt
Written by this directory, inspired by the source. Replace the [bracketed] parts.
I am virtually staging a listing photo. Room: [living room/bedroom], dimensions: [size], style of the home: [e.g. 1960s ranch with oak floors], price point: [range]. Write a staging brief for the AI tool: furniture pieces, scale, color palette, and the elements that must stay unchanged (windows, floors, walls, fixtures, views). Then write the photo caption disclosure: "Virtually staged. Furniture is not included."
