Benefits of traditional and virtual home staging

As you may already know, marketing a home can be a challenging business; marketing a vacant home can be even more challenging. When a home is vacant or surrounded by clutter, buyers are often uninspired by the space, leaving them without a frame of reference and putting more focus on negative details.  When a home is staged, the perceived value of the listing increases and buyers can mentally see themselves living in the home.

The National Association of Realtors claims that 90 percent of buyers start their search online, so it is critical to present a listing in the best light possible. So before listing photos that are not ready to sell your clients home, schedule a consultation with a professional home stager.

Make a home stand out from the cluttered or vacant homes on the market. Even the homes that have been virtually staged, leave buyers to believe that the listing is unoriginal because only the photos are staged, not the tangible listing. However, with the evolving landscape of real estate marketing, the online presence of a home is becoming more important. Keep in mind that virtual staging is not a way to replace traditional home staging services but a more economical marketing tool for agents and sellers to be able to show buyers the potential of a home, digitally.

So what is the staging verdict? Professional home staging will help real estate professionals optimize their listings and attain a competitive edge. As a professional home stager and real estate manager, my company believes in staging, both traditional and virtual that abides by the Realtor code of ethics of a true representation of the property.
