Virtual Staging Has Arrived in Shreveport / Bossier City

I actually got an email from OBEO stating they are doing this also.     What happens when those buyers get to the house, and there is NO furniture?

I've seen a demonstration of virtual staging here in Seattle. It is important to make the online pictures attractive enough to get buyers to come view the property. But for a priced right property, I prefer the warmth of the real thing. If the home is only on the market for 30 days of less, nice furnishing can't be beat.

Hi Gary and Rebecca,

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 inthe 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!

Good luck on your new venture! You'll find plusses to the incorporation of this latest tool.
