UNDERSTANDING VIRTUAL STAGING:
Want a better understanding of Virtual Staging?
The bottom line is simple: Virtual Staging is editing a photo of a space with objects (usually furniture) to help a buyer emotionally connect with that space.
The problem with empty spaces is simple – most people just don’t connect with an empty space. Most people don’t know what 25 square feet looks like, but they do know what a living room looks like that has a couch, a lounge chair, a table and a TV. People connect with what they know, and people don’t generally live or know empty rooms, we understand rooms that have stuff in them and can easily relate to the size of rooms based on what kind of stuff is in that room.
Why stop there?
Using expert editing techniques and special software, we can fill an empty living room with furniture that makes sense, put artwork on the walls, and even area rugs on the floors to give the room an accurate representation of a living setting; giving a buyer a glimpse of what it might look like to live in that space.
We can fill rooms with the stuff that makes sense for each room to present a living concept to a buyer. We have a catalog of “Styles” you can select from – and for those with a touch of OCD, we have catalogs for Room Layouts for each style that you can choose from so you can select the ideal staging for each room you want staged.
Understand that there are things we CAN do and things we aren’t supposed to do.
Our virtual staging service gives proper scale objects, all the time. You can have peace of mind that what you see in the virtually staged images we provide won’t get you in trouble.
Virtual Staging takes expert editing skills, special software and some extra time to get it right. The pricing is not based on the amount of time it takes to produce a staged image, it is based on the years of editing practice and costs of editing software, plus the time it takes to edit an image. Please understand that our pricing is based on these things as well, plus other costs.
We charge $32 per image for images that were produced from our services and team – this pricing is low because you have already paid for some of those “other costs” through our photography services.
3rd Party Images: We no longer edit 3rd party photos, please connect with the photographer or service you had your photos done through for Virtual Staging of their photos. We can, however, schedule a Short-Shoot ($100 for up to 5 images + $90 to Virtually Stage 3 of those images) to get new photos that we can have Virtually Staged.
Because of how our ordering platform works and the process involved, we sell these in 3-packs, meaning you can order Virtual Staging for 3 rooms at a time. The minimum order is 3 images. We can accommodate special orders for needs outside these parameters, we would just have to generate a manual work order for your project.

prior to listing them for sale. Thirteen percent noted that they only staged
