Why Virtual Staging?
With more and more homes now being vacant due to foreclosures, virtual staging is in demand than ever before. Virtual Staging is frequently employed by homeowners and real estate agents to help show properties to their best advantage. A virtually staged home shows better than an empty home. As wonderful as traditional home staging is, there are some drawbacks as well. Actual staging can give prospective buyers the impression that window treatments or other furnishings are included with the purchase of a home.
Home staging is also quite expensive. The cost to rent furniture and other furnishings in a down market with extended sale times can add up. This is where virtual home staging becomes quite appealing. Virtual home staging is the process of taking digital photos of empty rooms, inserting digital furniture, window treatments, and other decorations. The attributes of each property are enhanced by the staging, rather than showcasing the taste of the homeowner. Virtual home staging costs a fraction of a physical staging and is a great tool to help showcase the home to prospective buyers.
Most people looking for a home, search the internet first. Having beautifully decorated home photos captures the interest of buyers and motivates them to schedule a showing with a real estate agent. It’s long been known that professionally taken beautiful photographs help potential buyers make an emotional connection to the property. This product is not just for vacant homes. You can move existing furniture out of a room for the empty photo, then let us upgrade the appearance of the home online. Living areas, the master bedrooms, kitchens, and game rooms are excellent choices for digital staging. Our graphic designers will choose furnishings that compliment each room and show it to its best advantage. Upgrade the visual appeal of your listings today using the best Virtual Staging product on the market!

Virtual Home Staging Testimonial:
Dear RTV, I am very impressed! I have been a proponent of this type of staging for over three years now, and I am extremely pleased to see your result. Truly excellent staging and resulting image. I take my hat off to your supplier, as I love to see quality work in this arena. It is one of the best examples I personally have ever seen, and this is my passion and my livelihood. As far as the buyer not seeing furniture in the home, I would like to say it is exactly the same as if the seller took pictures before the home was vacant, then simply moved on, like so many sellers. With this type of staging, the potential buyer gets to see not only the home staged, but also have the opportunity to see the home vacant, which is, after all, what they are actually buying. It is a best-case scenario for the purchaser. Although to move a house quickly and garner better offers, traditional staging is the proven method, this type of technology is a step in the right direction for those who are not in a position to traditionally stage, but do grasp the need for highly impressive images for marketing. What you have here is an image that will motivate buyers to do a double-, if not triple-take on this listing, that would have slipped under their radar otherwise. It’s a wonderful example of this new branch of professional staging, and again, I am highly impressed. I looked at the image on a large scale, and it was superb. Also, pinkish carpet can be a bit of a turn-off, but the use of high-impact color was a brilliant strategy to tame the carpet into a neutral background. Skillful Staging and good imagery! ~Michelle
