Virtual staging

Empty rooms, furnished in a day

Send the listing photos. They come back with furniture, rugs, art and plants added, the property itself untouched, and every image labeled for the MLS. Every listing is quoted on what it actually needs.

New

Watch a house furnish itself

The same service, as video. Shot on a phone walking through an empty listing — the furniture is added, and the walls, floors, windows and fixtures are the ones that were photographed. Nothing about the property moves.

Five rooms, one take each. Entry, living and dining, both bedrooms and the covered deck.

Agents use it on the listing, on social, and on a laptop at the open house.

Furniture is a render. The property is not.

A recent listing

A new build at the shore, photographed empty. Same photos, furnished — and every fixed thing in the house is exactly where the photographer left it.

How it runs

Send the photos
Email or text the room shots you want staged, and say what each room is — living room, primary bedroom, office. Wide shots work best; a photo needs floor and two walls for furniture to sit in.
They come back furnished
Usually the same day, at the same size and framing as the photo you sent, so they drop straight into the listing beside the originals.
One round of changes is included
Wrong style for the house, furniture in an awkward spot, a room that should read as an office instead of a bedroom — say so and it comes back fixed.

What gets changed, and what never does

Added

Sofas, beds, dining sets, rugs, lamps, mirrors, art, plants, outdoor furniture on decks and patios.

Never touched

Walls, paint, flooring, counters, cabinets, tile, fixtures, windows and the views through them. Changing those would misrepresent the property, and it is the fastest way to get an agent in trouble.

Every image is delivered with a "virtually staged" mark in the corner. Most MLSs require the disclosure, and it means the label travels with the photo wherever it gets forwarded.

What it costs

Quoted per listing. A vacant two-bed and an eight-room new build are not the same job, and a price list pretends they are. Tell me how many rooms and send a couple of the photos — you will have a number back the same day, and it covers the MLS label and a round of changes either way.

Sending volume every month?

Brokerages, builders and real-estate photographers with a steady run of vacant listings get their own rate rather than paying per property. Say roughly how many photos a month you would be sending and you will get a number back the same day.

Ask about a bulk package

Send the photos.

Staged and labeled, usually the same day. Quoted per listing, whether it is two rooms or the whole home.
