Virtual staging vs physical staging.

Yes, a virtually staged image should be identified as staged so the listing does not mislead. We label every virtually staged image we deliver and include the unstaged original with it, so the listing can show both. Physical staging needs no disclosure because the furniture is really there. See our virtual staging.

No, it changes the picture of the room, not the room itself. A buyer who liked the staged photos walks into the empty space at the showing, which is the main risk of the format. Physical staging keeps the room matching the photos, which is why it suits listings where the in-person visit decides the offer. Talk to us about your listing.

Ask us first, because it depends on the resolution and the angles of the images you already have. Staging works best on sharp, level, wide shots of an empty room. Our standard service stages from the photos we deliver for your listing, which avoids a second visit and keeps the lighting consistent. Send us your photos.

Usually, yes: virtual staging is priced by the rooms you stage, while physical staging is billed per room, per month, plus delivery and removal. Publicly advertised virtual staging rates commonly fall within $15–$65 per photo, and ours starts at $30 for one room before GST. We do not sell physical staging, so ask a stager for that quote. See staging prices.

Physical staging is the better spend when the in-person showing will decide the offer and the budget exists, which is typical of higher-value listings. It also removes the gap between the online photos and an empty room. If the home is occupied and already presents well, neither kind of staging is solving a real problem. Ask us about your listing.
