Virtual renovation for Tampa listings, flips, and wholesale deals
Virtual renovation in Tampa is pre-renovation marketing — the investor angle. Post-Ian hurricane rebuild inventory, dated 1980s–90s cabinetry in Hyde Park and Carrollton, pitted travertine pool decks in Davis Islands, and golden-oak bones across Westshore all need a believable 'after' before the contractor arrives. Plotpane turns a tired flip photo into a 4K, Stellar-MLS-ready before/after in under a minute — paint, cabinets, counters, flooring, pool decks — while locking waterfront geometry, dock, seawall, and hurricane-impact window ratings so the listing stays inside Florida Statute 475 and NAR Standard of Practice 12-13.
Built for Tampa fix-and-flip and wholesaler marketing
Tampa Bay is one of the three most active fix-and-flip markets in the Southeast — SEP Capital, Insula, and the hard-money lender roster all track 4-to-6-month flip cycles here, and wholesalers move assignable contracts weekly out of Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs, and East Tampa. The marketing problem is identical across every investor desk: the 'before' photo is a 1987 kitchen with oak cabinets, cultured-marble counters, and popcorn ceilings, and the 'after' doesn't exist yet because demo hasn't started. Plotpane generates the renovation preview at 4K in seconds — painted cabinets in white or charcoal, quartz counters, LVP flooring, modern fixtures — so the wholesaler's marketing email, the flipper's pre-rehab open-house flyer, and the Stellar MLS coming-soon listing all carry a believable 'after' that matches the actual rehab budget.

Neighborhood-specific renovation patterns
Tampa's virtual-renovation work is not one style applied to every listing. Hyde Park Historic District and Bayshore Boulevard demand period-respectful kitchen refreshes — Shaker whites, carrara-look quartz, classic subway — because architectural-review covenants and buyer expectations reject farmhouse-modern on a 1920s bungalow. Harbour Island and Davis Islands waterfront contemporaries want flat-panel cabinetry, large-format porcelain, and integrated appliance panels. Water Street high-rises read as urban contemporary — dark walnut, matte black, warm LED. Westshore and Carrollton mid-century ranches respond to warm whites, wood-tone floors, and open-concept visualization that removes a non-load-bearing wall without touching structural envelope. Plotpane's Tampa presets match each sub-market so the rendered 'after' feels native to the block, not a generic Midwest flip template.
Hyde Park + Bayshore: period-respectful Shaker, carrara quartz, classic subway
Harbour Island + Davis Islands: flat-panel cabinets, porcelain slab, integrated appliances
Water Street + Channelside: dark walnut, matte black, warm-LED urban contemporary

Stellar MLS, MyFlorida MLS, and F.S. 475 disclosure
Stellar MLS (formerly My Florida Regional MLS, covering Tampa-St. Pete, Orlando, Sarasota, and 20+ Florida boards) requires virtually altered listing photos to be identified — public-remarks line or on-image caption — under its Rules and Regulations. Florida Statute 475.25(1)(b) and FREC Rule 61J2-10.025 apply the material-misrepresentation bar to any photo that makes a property appear materially different from its as-is condition, and NAR Standard of Practice 12-13 reinforces the same duty for REALTORS at Smith & Associates Real Estate, Compass Tampa, Premier Sotheby's International Realty Tampa, Coldwell Banker Realty Tampa, and Keller Williams Tampa. Plotpane writes XMP virtual-renovation metadata to every JPEG at export — invisible to buyers, legible to every MLS audit trail and brokerage asset library — so the disclosure record travels with the file forever. One line in the Stellar public remarks ('Photos include virtual renovation') and the listing is clean.
04
Waterfront geometry and hurricane-impact windows stay locked
Florida waterfront and post-Ian rebuild listings carry material facts that a virtual renovation must never touch. Dock length, boat-lift presence, seawall elevation, and rear-yard setback are structural material facts on Davis Islands, Harbour Island, Apollo Beach, and the Bayshore canals — altering them in a listing photo crosses F.S. 475.25(1)(b). Hurricane-impact-rated windows affect homeowner insurance premiums and citizens-eligibility disclosure under F.S. 627.711, so Plotpane refuses to swap a non-impact window to look impact-rated in any render. Cosmetic finish work — cabinet color, counter material, paint, flooring, pool-deck resurface, tile swap — is fully supported. Alterable structural and insurance-relevant geometry is locked by default.

Local questions, answered
Does Stellar MLS require disclosure of virtually renovated photos?+
Yes. Stellar MLS Rules and Regulations require virtually altered photos to be identified — typically a public-remarks line ('Photos include virtual renovation') or an on-image caption. Florida Statute 475.25(1)(b) and FREC Rule 61J2-10.025 apply the material-misrepresentation bar, and NAR Standard of Practice 12-13 reinforces the duty for every REALTOR at Smith & Associates, Compass Tampa, Premier Sotheby's, Coldwell Banker Realty, and Keller Williams Tampa. Plotpane writes XMP virtual-renovation metadata to every JPEG at export, so the disclosure record is embedded in the file permanently — add the remarks line and the listing is compliant.
Can I use this for fix-and-flip and wholesaler 'before/after' marketing in Tampa?+
Yes — that's the primary Tampa use case. Wholesalers assigning contracts out of Seminole Heights, Sulphur Springs, and East Tampa use Plotpane to show end-buyers a believable ARV render before demo starts. Flippers on 4-to-6-month cycles use it for pre-rehab 'coming soon' marketing so the Stellar MLS listing goes live with a true before/after pair the day the rehab finishes. Every export is watermark-free 4K with XMP disclosure metadata, so the same file serves the wholesaler's investor email, the Stellar public-remarks listing, and the Zillow/Redfin syndication without re-editing.
Can it change my Davis Islands or Harbour Island home's dock, seawall, or impact windows?+
No — and that's deliberate. Florida waterfront listing practice treats dock length, seawall elevation, boat-lift presence, and rear-yard setback as material structural facts under F.S. 475.25. Hurricane-impact windows are a separate material disclosure under F.S. 627.711 because they drive insurance premiums and Citizens eligibility. Plotpane's virtual renovation is limited to surface finishes — paint, cabinets, counters, pool-deck material, tile, flooring. Alterable structural geometry and insurance-relevant ratings are locked so you don't accidentally cross FREC's disclosure bar.

Pricing FAQ
Billing, quotas, and refunds.
Yes — one click in the Stripe billing portal from your dashboard. Billing stops immediately and any remaining credits stay usable through the end of the billing period.
Starter and Pro renders refresh at the start of each billing cycle and do not roll over. Agency renders roll over up to 3× your monthly cap, so a slow month isn't wasted.
We never auto-charge for overages. Once you hit your cap, new renders pause until your next cycle. If you need more room immediately, upgrade your plan from the billing page and your new quota applies instantly with proration.
No free trial. Instead, every plan carries a 14-day no-questions refund — if your first render isn't MLS-ready, we refund it. We chose a hard paywall over a throttled free tier so every plan gets full 4K output and every tool from day one.
Yes — annual billing is roughly 20% off the monthly rate (Starter $39 vs $49, Pro $79 vs $99, Agency $199 vs $249, all per month). The toggle above swaps the two.
Enterprise
MLSs, franchises, portals, and photography networks.
Custom volume packages, SSO, SOC 2 readiness, private-cloud deployment, and dedicated CSMs. We partner with networks processing 50,000+ listings per month.
No. Midjourney and DALL-E invent scenes from text prompts — beautiful for art, disqualifying for a listing. Plotpane is a structure-preserving pipeline: your room geometry, windows, and floor plan stay exact. We stage, re-light, swap skies, declutter, and 4K-enhance your actual photo. No hallucinated architecture, no invented rooms.
BoxBrownie and Styldod are human-edit services: you upload, a retoucher works overnight, you get a result in 24–48 hours at $2–$32 per image per treatment. Plotpane runs the full listing pipeline — staging, dusk, sky, clutter, enhancement — in one upload, in ~90 seconds, for a flat monthly subscription. Same 4K quality, no queue, no per-image fees.
Yes, when disclosed. NAR guidelines, California AB 723, and REBNY Rule 3.3 all allow virtually staged photos provided the listing discloses them. Every Plotpane export embeds invisible XMP disclosure metadata so the staging record travels with the file. You still handle the listing-remarks disclosure in your MLS portal — that's the part only you can do.
Not on staging or enhancement — our Fidelity Contract enforces structure-preserving masks that lock architecture, windows, and floor plan before any generation runs. Furniture is added to empty rooms; clutter is removed from furnished rooms; lighting and sky are re-graded. Renovation features (new flooring, wall colors) require you to explicitly mark the surface. We never reinvent what's already there.
Yes — one click in the Stripe billing portal from your dashboard. Billing stops immediately, remaining credits stay usable through the end of the billing period, and there's no cancellation fee.
Yes — any AI-generated or AI-modified image is considered an edit requiring disclosure under NAR's standards. That's why every Plotpane export writes invisible XMP disclosure metadata by default. The flag is machine-readable by MLS tooling and survives Lightroom round-trips. You still add the disclosure line to your listing remarks; we make sure the image itself is self-describing.
We don't train on your uploads — ever, with no opt-out toggle needed. Storage is per-account R2 (Cloudflare's object store), isolated from other tenants. When you cancel, your account's files are deleted on schedule. Transit is TLS 1.3, at-rest is AES-256. Full details in /legal/privacy.
Yes. Upload HEIC straight from your phone or desktop — we validate by magic bytes (not just file extension) and convert server-side. PNG, JPG, WebP, and HEIC are all first-class inputs. Output is 4K JPG by default, or request PNG if you need lossless.
Upgrade is instant and prorated: Stripe credits the unused portion of your current plan against the new one, and your new render quota applies immediately. Downgrades take effect at the next billing cycle so you keep your current quota until then. No credits are lost in either direction.
Yes. All plans include a commercial-use license for the agent, brokerage, or photography business on the account. Agency plan adds 5 team seats and a white-label delivery ZIP so you can hand enhanced photos to clients under your own studio brand. Full licensing terms in /legal/terms.
