VIRTUAL STAGING

Home Staging vs Virtual staging

Home Staging is a proven and effective sales technique that integrates decorating with marketing to create an experience for home buyers. It’s more than just furnishing a home – it’s the visual presentation of a property, clearly defining each space to sell a lifestyle. The process of Home Staging focuses on eliminating all potential distractions within your home to draw the focus to the best-selling features of your home, maximizing your property's potential in the eyes of potential buyers. By removing distractions, potential buyers can focus on the home's selling features.

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.

When you include Lighthouse Home Services photography assets in your package, Virtual Staging images are the perfect addition to help clients visualize living in the home at a fraction of the cost!
