As buyers respond to the tax credit extension, home sales are jumping. There are still plenty of homes to choose from, so homeowners are having to stay on top of their game. Therefore, many of them are turning to home staging to make their home stand out from the rest.
Lately, homeowners and Realtors alike are talking a lot about a new home staging website that helps you virtually stage your home for a low cost. VirtualStagingSolutions.com helps homeowners sell their vacant properties much faster than the traditional vacant home.
Through Virtual Staging Solutions, you can see what the property would look like if it were furnished in a variety of ways in order to show its full potential. Many Realtors are now using virtual home staging tools as part of their key marketing tools.
So, how does virtual home staging work? You simply use your uploaded photos of your home and begin adding various types of furniture to the photo. It will appear as if the furniture is actually in the home.
Home staging has been a proven method for increasing the appeal of any vacant home on the market. It also provides a large increase of value as a marketing tool. Now you can stimulate the sale of your home with the help of virtual staging tools like those of Virtual Staging Solutions on a low budget.
Virtual Staging Solutions also provides a free listing of your property, which is suitable for all search engines as an added value.
It should be noted that there are really two types of virtual staging. One is the photorealistic virtual staging, as described in the blog. It begins with a photograph of a room. Then furniture is added. The result, if done properly, is indistinguishable from a photograph.
The other type uses CAD/CAM-like software to construct a 3-dimensional virtual room or entire house. Then, furniture is added to it. The result looks like a very well drawn picture of a room. As noted above, one of the more popular services is Virtual Staging Solutions.
There are advantages and disadvantages to both. With photorealistic home staging, it looks absolutely real. On the other hand, the quality of the room is only as good as the initial photo. And there's no opportunity to move around the room or do a "fly through." Further, most of the services that offer photorealistic virtual staging will not alter room components--such as "repairing" a crack on the wall, changing the wall color, or changing the floor from carpet to wood.
Meanwhile, with the 3-dimensional room, the drawback is that it doesn't quite look like a photo. On the other hand, it's easy to change perspective, height, or any particular variables. It's also easy to change wall colors, floor coverings, and so on.
So, there are advantages and disadvantages to both. Here's an e-book that looks at both types of virtual staging: http://bit.ly/VirtualStagingEbook
