Use cases

Everything Sedam Staging does — and the things it won’t

Every mode below exists in the pipeline today, and every render any of them produces is compared against your original photograph before it publishes. The second list is just as deliberate: those are edits we refuse on listing photos, because they change what the buyer is buying.

What Sedam Staging does

One mode per job. Each one exists in the pipeline today.

By room

The classifier reads each photo for what it is, then stages it as that room.

Who it’s for

Same engine, different job to be done.

Compare

What the difference actually is, in each case.

What we don’t do, on purpose

Every one of these is sold elsewhere as its own AI product. On a listing photo each one changes a permanent feature — so Room Check refuses them, on every plan, including ours.

Wall & paint editing

Wall colour and finish are fixed features. Changing them in a listing photo misrepresents what the buyer is bidding on.

Flooring replacement

A different floor is a different property. Refused on every listing render, every plan.

Countertop & cabinet redesign

Built-in millwork is part of the sale. Staging adds the stools, not new cabinet fronts.

Architecture & construction renders

Moving walls and openings on a listing photo is the exact claim virtual-staging disclosure rules exist to prevent.

Landscaping that reshapes the property

Planting and outdoor furniture, yes. New patios, pools, decks or moved boundaries, no — that’s hardscape, and it’s part of the property.

Removable watermarks

The “Virtually staged” label is burnt in on every tier, including paid. It is required, not branding.

Exploring a renovation is a legitimate thing to want — it just isn’t listing media. Renovation Concepts does it with a different label, a written list of every change, and a hard block on reaching any listing surface.

Questions

Why don’t you offer wall, flooring or countertop editing?

Because those are the permanent features a buyer is purchasing, and changing them in a listing photo is the misrepresentation that virtual-staging rules exist to prevent. Room Check refuses those edits on every listing render. If you want to explore them, that’s Renovation Concepts — labelled as a concept, inventoried, and blocked from listings.

What does Room Check actually do?

Your original photo and the render are read side by side by a vision model looking only at permanent features. Furniture may be added, removed or replaced — a wall, window or doorway that moved fails, and the render is regenerated. If it never comes back honest, that look is missing and we say which room.

Is AI staging allowed on the MLS?

Yes, when the image is labelled and the architecture isn’t altered — which is how Sedam Staging works. Every photo carries a “Virtually staged” label burnt into the file, the original is kept beside it, and walls, windows, floors and built-ins are never changed. You also get a paste-ready remarks line for your board.

What does it cost?

Your first property is free — every room staged in your chosen style, watermarked, no card. One listing with clean full-resolution files is $19 CAD, no subscription. Pro is $29 CAD/month at the founding price (about US$21; it becomes $49) for five listings a month with every room in all six styles, or $199 CAD/year.
