AB 723 requires that the original, unaltered photo be hosted on a public URL that you control, with a link or QR code on each altered image pointing to it. SEAREI generates a per-listing public verification page that satisfies the hosting and access requirements automatically.
The statute does not require any particular hosting technology — only that the original is publicly accessible from a URL the agent controls. In practice that means either (a) maintaining your own page per listing and updating it for every alteration, or (b) using a platform that produces a stable verification URL for each disclosed image. SEAREI's compliance pack ships the verification page, the QR/URL placed on or adjacent to the altered photo, and the audit trail showing what was altered and when.
Run your next listing through SEAREI.
Whether you stage with SEAREI or bring photos staged elsewhere, the AB 723 / NWMLS / NAR compliance layer ships with every certified listing.
