Virtual staging is a type of staging that's disrupting the process for realtors and home sellers because it's much more efficient than traditional home staging. It's a prime example of a relatively recent development that’s a boon to any real estate professional. The no-contact nature of virtual home staging has made it especially valuable during the pandemic, reducing the need to have stagers in someone’s home.
With virtual staging, graphic designers fill in a vacant room with digital interior designing to make a property appealing. Computerized decorating is a cost-effective alternative to traditional staging, but it shouldn’t be abused. Don’t drastically alter the perception of any rooms to the point of selling something that looks nothing like the picture. The best virtually staged properties are the most realistic ones that use professional photos. After all, high-quality photos will be able to better convince viewers that the virtual furniture and decorations look like they fit in.
There’s no doubt that technology is transforming the home selling process. If you’re listing your home and struggling with decorating vacant rooms for staging, virtual staging could be your silver bullet. During the pandemic, reducing the need for in-person visits with digitally staged virtual tours/showings is a great benefit, too.
