Virtual staging is now a mainstream marketing tool that most real estate sales professionals outsource for the best results.
Smart homeowners and their agents know that virtual staging will get them the best offers, quickly.
And yes, there are DIY virtual staging apps, but most agents don’t have time to use them and the quality of the photos is much better when outsourced.
Therefore, in this article, we’ll explore how to outsource virtual staging services as well as the costs.
Why Use Virtual Staging for Real Estate Sales?
Virtual staging allows you to show buyers the potential of any home. Each virtually staged photo presents a strong and appealing image of a room or space’s best use and decor options.
By using virtual staging you can get any room to look exactly as you (or the buyer) want it to look.
Even more importantly, virtual staging helps sell homes faster and for higher prices, by making every room and space look like a gorgeous home you’d find in a design magazine.
Virtual staging is extremely flexible with many options and uses:
- Quickly fill a vacant room with attractive furniture and decor
- Make easy decorating and style changes by removing old and outdated furnishings and replacing them with more popular choices that freshen up the room
- Stimulate buyers’ imaginations by showing them what the home could look like after renovating
- Help buyers envision themselves living in the home by depersonalizing rooms and spaces
Just like the varied uses, the benefits of virtual staging are also many:
- 97% of buyers start looking online — virtual staging makes every photo amazing and highly appealing
- Homes that are staged sell 75% faster than those that are not
- 83% of virtually staged properties sell at the asking price or above
- You can virtually furnish an entire room for much less the cost of traditional staging
In a world where home sales start online, you need to do everything to get your listing noticed and people excited about it. Virtual staging helps you showcase a home online with stunning visuals that get attention.
