And even if they do post it, they need to also post the original photo side by side.

So you can see this is what we think it might look like.

But here's what it actually looks like.

And not every state has laws like that, but I would imagine that we will be seeing that in the future.

I know that the National Association of Realtors, they have their own ethics code that they need to abide by, which is something similar to that rule in California.

But not every agent is a member of the NAR.

So you're going to have some people that don't really have any rules to follow.

Absolutely.

I think it gives a lot of power to agents.

I spoke with another agent in Oklahoma who says she had to pay photographers hundreds of dollars to take photos, to alter the photos afterwards.

And now she can just do it at on her phone.

at the fingertips um there i did speak with the photographer and i asked her is this gonna are you gonna lose any business from this and she said i'm not really worried about it um she did add ai enhancing to her repertoire of things that she do does to properties but i think for the most part a lot of the agents are happy with being able to do this on the fly

I think that when you're looking for a home, you should be wary of what you're looking at.

That probably has always been the case, but...

When you're looking online, you need to be a little bit more diligent at what you're looking at.

I think for the most part, people now are not buying homes without seeing them, although that did happen a lot, especially during the pandemic.

People were going to home sight unseen and buying, but...

It would be a little bit irresponsible to not go to a home and look at it in person, especially as these AI tools have become more and more advanced.

I spoke with someone who has his own AI tool that will help him tidy up.

If he has clothes on the floor, clothes on the bed, dishes in the sink, the tool will just wipe all of that away.
