Q: Is Virtual Staging worth the price?
A: Absolutely! National Association of Realtors 2023 statistics show that agents pay an average of $1,500 for traditional home staging. Virtual Staging is an amazing bargain.
Q: Is there any downside of Virtual Staging?
A: There is one potential downside.
A virtually staged home can look great in listing photos and make potential buyers want to schedule a showing, but when those buyers arrives to tour the home, and the furniture is not there, it becomes harder for them to envision living in the
space.
However, that problem can also be another advantage.
Due to the flexibility offered by Virtual Staging, the agent showing the home can use an iPad or other large screen mobile device to help buyers visualize various design style options on-the-spot at the showing*. (Even more effective is to plug a laptop into a 27" monitor for a 'big screen' showing).
The agent and the buyers become partners designing the space based on the buyer’s own preferences. The empty room becomes a blank canvas upon which buyers can create their ‘dream home’.
* Available soon.
