Innovation - Virtual Staging

We ran across an article on virtual staging recently ...and we were,
well, we were amazed!

When a Realtor lists a home they will often consider staging it- whether it is a simple movement of furniture and sprucing up or a complete overhaul, staging can make a HUGE difference for the seller’s bottom line.

 

However, some are now considering “virtual staging” whereby a high tech computer program is used to create the “perfect room”, but only ONLINE!

I thought about how this could work in Colorado and I would say, based on our market, that this could really work. You see, most of the houses that are listed here sell in about 1-2 days with multiple offers. The ease of creating a great space online rather than in person could be a huge plus.

If I were to do this I would make sure to print out full sized colored pictures and hang them on the walls in the house!

 

In this industry it is so important to be innovative and creative …
would this be something you would consider?

Hi Erin - Virtual staging can be a great tool in the right circumstances. We've used it several times over the years with good results, and the cost is reasonable as well.

Hi Erin virtual staging is a great idea if done by a professional virtual stager. We've had good results and only one with not so good results. Thumbs up from me!

Hi Erin -- I have not yet tried virtual staging.  I think the listing agent should likely include in the agent only remarks that the home has been staged virtually lest they be barraged with lots of phone calls informing him/her that their listing has been robbed.

That is very cool Erin...I wonder how much the software is...or is it a program?

Wow, that is really something, I can see this working in situations that a home is empty. Thank you for the heads up.

There are a couple of agents in Clarksville that use that program but got so many complaints that they now title each photo that it is a visualization. I think that agents and buyers felt duped. I must admit it makes the houses look really good.

Hey Erin-staging is definitely the way to go for most people who have no visualization skills.
