VIRTUAL STAGING

  • The process of Virtual Staging focuses on helping potential home buyers visualize furniture placement through a virtually staged photo of the original home. This process saves the seller time and money by virtually staging a photo rather than traditionally staging the real home.

  • We take a digital photo of the property and add virtual furniture to create an inviting space for potential buyers to visualize furniture placement and décor.

HOME STAGING

  • An owner-occupied home is one in which the homeowners and/or their furnishings will remain in the property while it is for sale. A vacant home is one in which the property is fully vacant of furnishings and unoccupied.
