Cool New Tool for REALTORS

That sure is a drastic difference Cindy.  Thanks for sharing your new tool and best of luck getting this new listing sold.

Wow Cindy - that's a cool tool to use and what a difference it makes for the MLS photos. Hope this doesn't put us stagers out of business - LOL!

Hi Cindy - Thanks for sharing this. It seems like another neat tool to use when the occasion warrants it. I'll be e-mailing you for the details.

Cindy - wow that certainly is interesting, absolutely not as good as the real thing (ahem, cough cough Kristine) but a good fall back when you need it. Staging sure makes a difference, no doubt in my mind. I'm glad you are in that line of thought too :)

What a difference this makes! I can't believe you can actually do this. I will have to try it next time.

Hi Cindy! Cool.

Like you, I use a stager for all my lsitings and I pay for it. But bringing in rooms full of furniture is cost prohibitive for me. This tool just might fill a hole!

Thanks for the info.

WOW! Cindy, I am very impressed with those before and after shots. I need that "Cool Tool" today. You know I will be emailing and asking questions. Thanks for sharing.

Cindy, Not sure how our local board would react to virtual furniture.  We had someone complain once because Liz put a softened edge on the listing photos, can't imagine how they'd react if they found out there was simulated furniture.  It makes sense to do, and is no different than having snapped pics of a furnished house before they moved.

Hi Cindy,

Very cool concept, and in some case a reat way to get the desired results without having to spend ongoing fees and never mind the work of moving stuff in and or out.

Hi Cindy "In Indy",  This is a great online tool to get people to get into the house from looking online as it shows what the rooms look like with furniture. One the buyers are in the home, hopefully they have the printed up pictures with them. This is why stagers are worth their weight in gold..the buyers can walk through the rooms seeing the actual furniture. Getting buyers into the home from great online pictures is key, so this is a great program for that! Thanks for sharing it as I've not seen it before.

Cindy, WOW I really like the virtual tour...perhaps the sellers will now go for the staging.

Hi Cindy, what a difference staging makes; and a virtual tour I need to check this out. Suggested.

Wow, that is amazing, Cindy! I never would have been able to tell that the home has been "virtually" staged! Suggested this post and will be re-blogging it and contacting you for the company info. :)

Cindy, Even with the remarks written, I still suspect our board would freak!  They're just now withing the last year starting to authorize IDX access outside the brokerage's websites!

Cindy~ Love the before and afters! You will have to send the info! Thanks

I like the concept of virtual staging. However, if the buyers can continue to "bring" that into the rooms to visualize the possibility, then it's great. Otherwise, this concept is not any different (other than someone stick furniture in it virtually) that the agent taking the photo when the seller was living in it. By the time, the buyers got to it, the sellers have moved out.

I think it will be a great idea to make posters of these rooms, sit it on an easel to make sure they remember what it looked like online.
