Staging can be a crucial step if you’re trying to sell a home — especially if the home is empty when it comes time to shoot those listing photos.
Unfortunately, staging can also be expensive and, depending on how much furniture-moving it entails, time-consuming.
Enter “virtual staging,” a technology that enables real estate agents to stage a home that won’t cost you an arm and a leg. As more agencies embrace this service, the results are yielding positive results for both sellers and buyers.
An empty room is detrimental to a listing and the only alternative before virtual technology was traditional staging. Traditional staging is effective but expensive and time-consuming and it doesn’t make fiscal sense for all price points. Virtual staging gives you the ability at all price points to creatively allow the buyers to visualize what the space can be.
In short, these Virtually Staged photos help sell homes without the heavy lifting.
One important note is: with this marketing tool, strive for full transparency. Make sure that each virtually staged image is labeled as such on the photo (I do that for you), and the next photo in the queue of images is the empty room. So the consumer sees both.
It is noticeably easier to sell homes that are virtually staged than it is to sell homes that are completely empty.
On average, there is a 30% increase in web traffic to a listing page as a result of having a virtually staged photos , versus vacant photos.
