Virtual staging readiness

Current result
Disclosure risk
The plan has disclosure, MLS-rule, or edit-scope risk. Do not publish edited listing photos until the disclosure, before-photo archive, and review path are clear.
Higher means fewer open photo-plan and disclosure flags.
Vacant listings often need clear staged and unstaged context.
Listing status: Pre-list.

FAQ and sources
Does this make a listing MLS compliant?
No. Stage Scout is a readiness checklist. MLS, broker, state, and advertising rules vary, so the final disclosure and listing review still belongs with the agent, broker, MLS, or qualified advisor.
Can this tell me staging will raise the sale price?
No. The tool does not predict sale price, days on market, appraisal value, or buyer behavior. It only checks whether the photo plan is organized enough to save and review.
Why track before photos and edit scope?
Virtual staging and AI-enhanced listing images can confuse buyers if edits hide property condition or are not disclosed. The checklist keeps disclosure, archive, and edit-scope questions visible before publishing.
