Virtual staging, physical staging or empty photos
Three honest ways to show an empty property. The only figures on this page are our own prices and delivery time; the rest describes what each option involves.
| Aspect | Virtual staging with Virtual Home Stage | Physical staging | Empty-room photos |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it costs | $19.95 a photo, or $79 for five photos of one property, excl. VAT. | A quote per property: furniture, transport, setting up, collection and hire for as long as it stays. | Nothing on top of the photography. |
| When it is ready | Within 24 hours of payment, weekends included. | After planning, delivery and setting up, followed by a new photo shoot. | As soon as the photos are taken. |
| Access to the property | Not needed. You upload photos you already have. | Needed for delivery, setting up and collection. | Only for the photo shoot. |
| What buyers see at a viewing | The empty room. The photo shows one way to furnish it, and its label says so. | The furnished room, as in the photos. | The empty room, as in the photos. |
| Changing your mind | Ask for a revision, free of charge for 60 days after delivery. | Means moving or replacing furniture on site. | Nothing to change. |
| Label on the photo | Always, in the language of your market, and you get the original photo as well. | Not needed: the furniture is really there. | Not needed. |
When each one fits
Each option has its place. Pick the one that matches the property and the buyer.
Virtual staging
When an empty room needs to show its scale and use in the listing, within a day and without anyone going to the property.
Physical staging
When buyers will walk through a furnished home at the viewing and the budget allows it. What they see in the photos is what they find in the room.
Empty-room photos
When a room speaks for itself, or buyers are looking for space rather than a finished home. Honest, and nothing extra to pay.
