      <title>Virtual Staging</title>
      <description>Increasingly more and more home buyers, both locally and abroad, are turning to the web to find their next home. Virtual staging turns vacant property images into beautiful living environments that show the full potential of the house. Virtual staging is also an excellent alternative for home owners that just can't afford traditional home staging and Realtors who are looking for a more cost effective solution. &lt;p&gt;
I am an experienced photographer and graphic designer who has spent years working in the Real Estate and Home Staging business. I offer an extremely competitive price for my services. Please email me for a quote. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://jrmphototography.com" title="John McConnell Photography" target="_blank"&gt;John McConnell Photogrpahy&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Hello my name is John McConnell although I have a studio and take photos for families and children.&amp;nbsp; Here I am going to promote the&amp;nbsp;MLS photos and Realtor or home stagers photos.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Some examples of this!!!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;img title="home star staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/0/5/7/2/ar119657082827501.jpg" height="133" alt="john McConnell photography" width="200"&gt;&lt;img title="Home Star Staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/0/3/6/8/ar119645506586301.jpg" height="133" alt="John McConnell Photography" width="200"&gt;&lt;img title="Home Star Staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/7/9/1/4/2/ar119645516524197.jpg" height="133" alt="John McConnell" width="200"&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Most important thing to remember is warmth! If your photos are cold "usually a flash will cause this&amp;nbsp;" then your customer will feel that way about the property before even going to see it.&amp;nbsp; So as&amp;nbsp; your professional photographer, my goal is to not only show the house but the feeling of the house as well.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img title="home star staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/5/7/2/3/2/ar119645658223275.jpg" height="266" alt="john mcconnell photography" width="177"&gt;&lt;img title="home star staging" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/1/6/8/8/5/ar119645664358861.jpg" height="266" alt="john mcconnell photography" width="400"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;All the above photos are from Karen Otto of Home Star Staging, perfect examples of wonderful home staging that needs the warmth of the house left in the photos of it.&amp;nbsp; Selling a house needs good staging and good photos due to the ability to shop from home.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; 85% of all homes looked at in Dallas is directly due to the photos on-line of it.&amp;nbsp; MLS photos are the best way to attract potential buyers. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;I look forward to meeting and helping out anyone who needs it, Thanks for your warm welcomes.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;My Thanks to Karen Otto, a expert on home staging and writing as you all may already know.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;JOHN MCCONNELL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;972.394.0772&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>
