The 11 Best Virtual Staging Services and Software for Real Estate Agents | Sales
In a 2018 survey of more than 4,000 homes, 68% of staged homes sold for at least 9% more than those of their unstaged neighbors’. Whether you’re starting a real estate business or have been selling homes for a while, there’s clear and increasing benefit to professionally staging your clients’ homes.
But the future of home staging goes beyond just hiring a designer. This popular service is going virtual. In fact, virtual staging is cheaper, faster, and easier than physically staging a home — and boasts similar results.
So, how do you find the right virtual staging software? Unfortunately, my search didn’t turn up many free virtual staging software solutions. But I’m sharing the top paid virtual staging software and services below.
