Submission playbook

• Submit a precise brief with MLS-compliant notes, brand style, buyer persona, and package code.
• Attach high-resolution photos with level horizons, window detail, and true colors.
• Select add-ons like day-to-dusk, declutter, and remodel preview for targeted impact on weekend traffic.
• Mark priority rooms like living, primary, kitchen, and entry to focus buyer attention fast.
• Approve proofs inside the stated window to lock slots for Friday and Saturday tours.

Common rapid edits

• Swap furniture sets for tone fit, like Scandinavian light for starter buyers or premium modern for luxury.
• Adjust lighting and shadows for realistic falloff and window bloom under MLS rules.
• Remove minor clutter like cords, magnets, and boxes while keeping fixed features intact.
• Refine color grading for paint fidelity, floor warmth, and consistent white balance.
• Add lifestyle accents like scaled art, rugs, and plants that match the room’s layout.

Scope safeguards

• Maintain structural integrity, as load-bearing walls and ceiling heights stay accurate.
• Preserve permanent fixtures like windows, fireplaces, and staircases for truthful representation.
• Exclude repairs and material changes like new flooring or new countertops unless the remodel preview add-on applies.

• Use A/B alternates for two key spaces only, as over-testing delays posting.

Accessibility: Alt Text and Readability in Captions

Accessibility in virtual staging depends on precise alt text and readable captions that support MLS trust and buyer comprehension. Accessibility standards reference WCAG 2.2 and ADA guidance for digital content compliance (W3C, ADA.gov).

Alt text:

• Alt text communicates the room type and key features for each staged photo, for example primary bedroom king frame bay window soft linen palette
• Alt text names brand items only when branding exists in the original photo, for example Restoration Hardware sofa tag present in source
• Alt text avoids sales copy and avoids filler words, for example stunning cozy amazing
• Alt text uses consistent room taxonomy across the listing, for example living room dining room kitchen

Captions:

• Captions explain staging intent and buyer benefit in one sentence, for example layout clarity or scale reference
• Captions place material facts first and lifestyle notes second, for example engineered oak floors then work from home nook
• Captions use plain language at grade 6 to 8 reading levels for broad reach
• Captions anchor disclosures with virtual staging labels at the start, for example Virtual staging for design context

Disclosures:

• Disclosures appear on every staged image and every platform variant
• Disclosures match MLS policy language and broker standards without deviation
• Disclosures align with seller approvals stored in the file trail

Contrast:

• Contrast in caption overlays and story cards meets WCAG 2.2 ratios
• Contrast improves legibility on mobile feeds and MLS galleries

Structure:

• Structure keeps the same order, for example room name then feature then benefit
• Structure places measurements after features, for example 10 by 12 office then fits full desk plus storage
• Structure uses numerals for counts and sizes, for example 2 windows 9 ft ceilings

Automation:

• Automation maps EXIF alt text into social exporters and MLS inputs
• Automation flags overlength alt text and complex sentences
• Automation maintains version control across pre launch live and refresh phases
