Frequently Asked Questions

What are SANDICOR's specific MLS photo requirements for 2026?

SANDICOR (San Diego Association of REALTORS) requires photos in 4:3 aspect ratio, 2048x1365 resolution minimum, JPEG format, under 15MB file size, and sRGB color space. Maximum 50 photos per listing with specific naming conventions. BuildMyListing automatically formats all photos to these exact specifications.

How does AB 723 apply to San Diego real estate photography?

California AB 723 requires disclosure of any photo alterations beyond basic adjustments. In San Diego's competitive market, virtual staging is common for vacant properties. Any staging, sky replacement, or object removal must be disclosed to buyers with before/after comparisons and public disclosure pages.

What is CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 and how does it affect San Diego listings?

CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 requires photo pairs (original + altered) when property photos are digitally altered. San Diego is part of California Regional MLS, so any staged or enhanced photos must include the unaltered version. BuildMyListing automatically creates these pairs for SANDICOR MLS compliance.

Can I use virtual staging for San Diego's vacant luxury homes?

Yes, but disclosure is mandatory under AB 723. San Diego's high-end market ($1M+ homes) often uses staging to help buyers visualize potential. BuildMyListing tracks all staging edits, generates disclosure pages, and creates QR codes for marketing materials to ensure full compliance.

How do I handle San Diego's challenging lighting conditions in MLS photos?

San Diego's bright coastal sun and canyon shadows create exposure challenges. BuildMyListing's AI is trained on San Diego lighting patterns—brightening shadows without overexposure, balancing indoor/outdoor views, and optimizing for the Mediterranean and contemporary styles common in San Diego County.

What happens if my photos don't meet SANDICOR's technical requirements?

SANDICOR MLS will reject non-compliant photos, delaying your listing. BuildMyListing prevents this by automatically converting all photos to SANDICOR's exact specifications: 4:3 ratio, proper resolution, file size optimization, and sRGB color profile. Photos are guaranteed to upload successfully to SANDICOR MLS.

Do I need separate compliance for different San Diego neighborhoods?

No, AB 723 and SANDICOR requirements are consistent across all San Diego County areas (La Jolla, Del Mar, Mission Hills, Pacific Beach, etc.). However, BuildMyListing's AI recognizes different architectural styles and optimizes accordingly—coastal condos get different treatment than canyon estates or downtown lofts.
