Staged Photography combines home staging with props to create powerful listing photography. Staged Photography can help a home to sell because buyers get a positive first impression when they look at the MLS on the web.
85% of home buyers are looking at the on-line homes for sale FIRST. Make those key listing pictures count!
What is Staged Photography?
- Listing photographs taken after the area is staged and props are added to the space to improve and update its look
- Images are PhotoShop'd to edit any imperfections or crop unwanted background
- Photos can be uploaded to the MLS, Realtor.com, Trulia, or wherever you'd like them to go!
What are the benefits of Staged Photography?
- Attractive listing photos draw buyers in from the web, they will be more apt to schedule a showing
- Staged Photography is less expensive than full home staging because the props are not left at the home

Getting a more zoomed in look of these rooms (but still using a wide angle lens), makes the rooms look more cozy. Staged Photography combines home staging know-how and beautiful props.
Staged First Impressions also gives sellers a featured tour to post on the MLS (or to email), included with price of staged photography. The featured tour from Real Estate Shows that was created for this Hampton Falls, NH home:
