Virtual Staging: The Key Benefits for Homeowners and Realtors

Selling a home can be a daunting task, and the process can be made even more difficult when buyers can't see its true potential. Traditional home staging has long been a reliable way to showcase a property's best features, but it can be time-consuming, expensive, and sometimes even inconvenient. That's why many homeowners and real estate agents are turning to a new solution: virtual staging.

Unlike conventional staging, virtual staging is 100% digital and allows sellers to transform their empty or poorly furnished spaces into beautifully designed and inviting homes, without the hassle of moving furniture, setting up props, or managing a staging team. At New Mode Home, we specialize in virtual home staging services that make it easy for you to showcase your home to potential buyers and maximize its selling potential.

Let’s explore the many benefits of virtual staging and why it's quickly becoming the go-to solution for homeowners and real estate agents alike.

Cost-Effective

Virtual staging is a cost-effective alternative to traditional home staging. It eliminates the need for physical furniture and accessories, which can be expensive to rent, purchase and set up. With virtual staging, you can easily achieve a beautifully designed space without breaking the bank. Unlike traditional staging, you don’t have to continue to pay to rent furniture until the property sells, meaning you are only paying the staging fee once instead of monthly. According to LCP Media, virtual staging can reduce the cost of staging by up to 97%.

Time-Saving

Traditional home staging can take several days to set up, whereas virtual staging can be done in a matter of hours. Traditional home staging can take a lot of time, from selecting and renting furniture to arranging and decorating the space. Virtual staging allows homeowners and real estate agents to quickly and efficiently showcase the property to potential buyers, without the hassle of setting up physical furniture and accessories. This frees up time to allow them to focus on other important aspects of the selling process.

Better Visualization

Virtual staging helps potential buyers visualize what a space could look like with their own furniture and decor. This can make a huge impact on the overall appeal of your home, as buyers are more likely to see themselves living in the space. A professional stager will come up with a buyer profile and cater the home’s design to your target market. More and more, real estate agents are choosing virtual staging over conventional home staging methods, as it allows them to post side-by-side photos of the empty room and the virtually staged room on the listing. Having the virtually staged room as a reference point helps a prospective buyer understand the true potential of a home.

A More Beautiful Stage

Another unspoken benefit of virtually staging your home is that it also provides access to high end furniture options that are not typically offered through traditional staging methods. Traditional staging is limited by the availability of furniture and decor, which can sometimes be expensive to rent or purchase. In contrast, virtual staging provides access to an almost limitless, on-trend range of furnishings that can be customized to meet the needs and style of the seller or agent.

Environmentally Friendly

Virtual staging eliminates the waste and carbon footprint associated with traditional home staging methods, such as shipping and handling of furniture and accessories. By choosing virtual staging, you can help protect the environment and make a positive impact.
