Key Information

San Francisco real estate agents operate under California Business and Professions Code § 10087 (AB 723, effective January 1, 2024), which requires disclosure of AI-enhanced or digitally altered listing photos via a public disclosure page and QR code on print materials. SFAR (San Francisco Association of Realtors) MLS is the primary MLS serving San Francisco proper. BuildMyListing generates SFAR-formatted MLS descriptions, AB 723-compliant photo disclosure documentation with public pages and QR codes, CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 photo pairs, and virtual staging for SF's distinctive Victorian and Edwardian Painted Ladies, condos, and modern Soma lofts.

Pricing: Starting $99/month

Time Required: 20 minutes per SF listing

The Problem

San Francisco agents face California's AB 723 photo disclosure requirements (effective January 1, 2024), SFAR MLS standards, California's extended fair housing protections, and the challenge of staging and describing SF's unique architectural stock — Victorian Painted Ladies, Edwardian flats, Soma lofts, and Pacific Heights mansions. Managing all this manually adds hours to every listing.

The Solution

BuildMyListing generates SFAR MLS-formatted descriptions, automatically creates AB 723-compliant public disclosure pages and QR codes for print materials, provides virtual staging suited to SF's architecture, and runs California FEHA fair housing compliance scans — all in one workflow.

Key Features

AB 723 Photo Disclosure — Public Page + QR Code

California Business and Professions Code § 10087 (AB 723, effective January 1, 2024) requires disclosure of any digitally altered listing photos. BuildMyListing automatically tracks all photo enhancements and staging, generates a public disclosure page accessible without a login, and creates a QR code for inclusion on print materials. CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 photo pairs (altered + original) are generated for SFAR and CRMLS agents.

Benefit: AB 723 compliance: public disclosure page, QR code, and CRMLS photo pairs in one workflow

SFAR MLS-Formatted Listing Descriptions

AI-generated listing descriptions (150–250 words) formatted for SFAR MLS submission — covering SF property types including Victorian and Edwardian Painted Ladies, Soma lofts and live/work spaces, Pacific Heights and Sea Cliff traditional homes, Richmond and Sunset district homes, North Beach and Telegraph Hill condos. Character-limit compliant for SFAR's description fields.

Benefit: SF-specific copy ready for SFAR MLS submission

California FEHA Fair Housing Compliance Scan

Scans all listing copy against 200+ fair housing patterns. The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) extends protected classes significantly beyond the seven federal FHA classes, adding source of income, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, and more. BuildMyListing's scan covers both federal and California FEHA protected classes.

Benefit: Federal FHA and California FEHA extended class compliance review

Virtual Staging for SF Architecture

Virtual staging optimized for San Francisco's distinctive property types — Victorian Painted Ladies with ornate millwork, Edwardian flats with box bay windows, Soma live/work lofts with exposed concrete, Pacific Heights formal rooms, and modern Marina district condos. Staging styles range from traditional Victorian-era to contemporary minimal to mid-century.

Benefit: Staging that fits SF's unique architectural character

Transfer Disclosure Statement Consistency

California Civil Code § 1102 requires sellers to complete a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) for most residential transactions. BuildMyListing generates listing copy that avoids contradicting items disclosed on the TDS — preventing copy that misrepresents conditions sellers have disclosed.

Benefit: Listing copy consistent with California TDS disclosure

Frequently Asked Questions

What is California AB 723 and how does it affect San Francisco listings?
California Business and Professions Code § 10087 (AB 723, effective January 1, 2024) requires California real estate licensees to disclose when listing photos have been digitally altered beyond exempt adjustments. Exempt alterations include brightness, contrast, white balance, lens correction, cropping, sharpening, and noise reduction. Disclosure-required alterations include virtual staging, object removal, sky replacement, renovation previews, and pool or landscaping additions. Disclosure is made via a public online page accessible via URL or QR code on print materials, and CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 requires photo pairs (altered + original) in the MLS. BuildMyListing automates all of this.
What protected classes does California add beyond the federal Fair Housing Act?
The California Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA) extends fair housing protections significantly beyond the seven federal FHA classes. California FEHA adds: source of income, ancestry, genetic information, marital status, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, medical condition, and disability (more broadly defined than federal). These protections apply to all residential housing transactions in California.
What is a TIC and how does it affect SF listings?
A TIC (Tenancy in Common) is a common form of ownership in San Francisco where multiple buyers share ownership of a building, with each owner holding an undivided fractional interest. TIC ownership is distinct from condo ownership — TIC owners do not hold fee-simple title to their individual unit. SF TIC listings require specific disclosures about the ownership structure and any associated financing (TIC-specific lenders charge higher rates). BuildMyListing's copy can reference TIC ownership structure from agent-provided inputs.
What is the California Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS)?
California Civil Code § 1102 requires sellers of residential property (1–4 units) to provide buyers with a Transfer Disclosure Statement (TDS) covering the seller's known material facts about the property. The TDS covers structural conditions, appliances, systems, environmental hazards, neighborhood conditions (airports, flight paths, train lines), and legal issues. Sellers have a duty to disclose all known material defects. Consult a licensed California real estate attorney for your specific TDS obligations.
Does BuildMyListing handle CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 photo pairs for SFAR listings?
Yes. CRMLS Rule 11.5.2 requires that when listing photos have been virtually staged or materially altered, agents must upload both the altered photo and the original unaltered photo as a pair in the MLS. BuildMyListing tracks all disclosure-required alterations and generates the required original/altered photo pairs for CRMLS compliance. This is automatically included when AB 723 disclosure documentation is generated.
Is BuildMyListing providing legal advice on California disclosure requirements?
No. BuildMyListing provides compliance documentation tools, not legal advice. For questions about your specific AB 723 obligations, California TDS requirements, or California FEHA compliance, consult a licensed California real estate attorney.
