Property listings live or die by their photos. Our AI-powered Image Moderation API verifies property images, detects manipulation and virtual staging misrepresentation, and ensures your real estate platform maintains the trust that drives transactions.
Try Free DemoReal estate is one of the largest financial decisions people make, and it increasingly starts online. Platforms like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and countless MLS systems host millions of property listings where photos are the primary decision driver. Studies show that listings with professional photos sell faster and for more money.
But this creates incentives for misrepresentation. Extreme wide-angle lenses make rooms look bigger. Virtual staging digitally adds furniture to empty rooms. Photo editing removes power lines, neighboring buildings, or property defects. Some listings even use photos from different properties entirely. Each misleading photo erodes buyer trust and wastes everyone's time.
Our AI moderation helps real estate platforms verify authenticity, detect manipulation, and maintain the listing quality that builds trust and drives transactions.
Verify that listing photos are authentic and haven't been stolen from other properties. Detect reverse-image matches and stock photo usage.
Detect photo manipulation including object removal, sky replacement, and digital alterations that misrepresent property condition.
Identify virtually staged photos and ensure they're clearly labeled. Distinguish between physical and digital furniture.
Detect extreme wide-angle lens usage that makes spaces appear larger than reality. Flag potentially misleading perspectives.
Evaluate image quality including lighting, resolution, and professional standards. Help agents improve their listings.
Identify AI-generated property images and renderings that don't represent actual properties.
Verify photos uploaded to MLS systems meet authenticity and quality standards before publication.

Our models analyze lighting consistency, shadow patterns, object edges, and perspective cues to identify digitally added furniture and décor. We can distinguish between physical staging and virtual staging with high accuracy.
Not necessarily. Virtual staging is a legitimate tool when clearly disclosed. Our API identifies virtual staging so platforms can ensure proper disclosure requirements are met, rather than automatically rejecting staged photos.
We distinguish between professional HDR photography techniques (which are standard practice) and deceptive manipulation. High dynamic range processing is acceptable; removing neighboring buildings is not.
We can detect if photos are stolen from other listings, but verifying a specific photo matches a specific address requires either previous photos for comparison or on-site verification beyond our current capabilities.
Yes. We support RESO-compliant data standards and provide integrations for major MLS platforms. Our API can be incorporated into listing submission workflows for automatic verification.
