Why Stage Your Home Before Selling It?
A house must look appealing to attract buyers. It must be neatly furnished so that buyers can visualize themselves living in the place. But physically staging your home presents a few challenges. For one thing, it’s costly (at least a few thousand dollars). For another, it’s time-consuming (3-7 days). And more importantly, it involves lots of comings and goings. How can you circumvent these problems and yet utilize the benefits of staging?
“Virtual Staging.” A technology-reliant practice that enables one to furnish any space in a digital environment. Today we will review some of the benefits of virtual staging for real estate agents that give them the edge in their sales and marketing efforts!
The Benefits of Virtual Staging
Virtual staging saves agents’ time and money
As a real estate agent, you’d probably agree that listing a property tomorrow rather than today means that the sale of your property might be delayed 10 or more days!
New virtual staging methods are done in seconds! This means that if an agent signs a contract with a seller in the morning, he can list it in less than two hours. The agent just has to take a few good shots from the property and then stage the rooms using a reliable AI staging tool.
How long does it take? 30 seconds per photo! How much does it cost? $0.24 per photo! Compare that with days of waiting and two or three thousand dollars including the monthly rental fee of staging companies!
Virtual staging generates more interest
Showcasing a property in its furnished version can draw more attention on online listings as it enables the buyer to connect with the place more meaningfully.
They can see themselves relaxing in the chair, cooking in the kitchen, or reading next to the warm fireplace!
This kind of connection piques the interest of buyers, triggering a desire in them to visit the place and take a closer look.
Virtual staging shows the property’s versatility
While most buyers prefer to see the bare bones of the property, to make sure there are no hidden damages, they want to know how it will feel when the rooms are furnished. Virtual staging will help them appreciate the potential of the place, while at the same time, they can examine all corners for cracks, holes, or stains!
Virtual staging enables you to customize the space
Another benefit of virtual staging is that it’s highly customizable. Suppose buyers don’t find your listing interesting. You can’t do much if your place is physically staged. With virtual staging service, however, you can go for a new design style, change the furniture set, or play with colors.
If a new type of sofa becomes trendy or a new brand of coffee table gains sudden popularity, you can include them in your staging in no time. Then you can replace the previous photos with the new ones to see the effect.
Virtual staging is safe
This is one of the benefits of virtual staging that many miss. When there is furniture in your place, you constantly have to worry as visitors might damage some of the items unintentionally! At other times, when you hire a staging company, you’d have to worry about people damaging themselves when moving around those items. You don’t have these with virtual staging as everything happens in a digital space.
