- Board: IRES
- States: Colorado
- Canonical page: https://relto.app/mls-compliance/boards/ires

## As documented in RELTO's Colorado research (7,000+ (per IRES website) subscribers)

- Disclosure rule: IRES's published Rules and Regulations (revised 8/26) contain no virtual-staging rule. Following NAR Articles 2 and 12 and labeling staged images is recommended practice, not an IRES rule.
- Permitted: No IRES staging rule is published; labeling staged images is recommended practice.
- Prohibited: Images that misrepresent actual property condition.
- Penalty: Not published in the sources we could read.

Provenance: these board rules were documented as part of RELTO's Colorado research, whose state entry is verified against secondary public guidance (MLS advisory, regulator memo, or REALTOR association PDF) (last verified 2026-10-11). No separate board-rulebook citation is indexed for this rule — confirm the current wording with the board directly.

Informational only. RELTO is a virtual-staging technology provider, not a law firm. Board rules and enforcement practices change; confirm each rule with the board’s current rulebook, your broker, and a licensed real-estate attorney before relying on it. Verification dates and confidence tiers describe the state entries, not board-specific rulebook citations.
