Virtual Staging for Home Staging with Barbara Corcoran on NBC Today Show

March 24, 2012 - PRLog -- NBC's Today Show featured Barbara Corcoran, known for her appearances on ABC's TV show Shark Tank, speaking about using Virtual Staging in place of traditional home staging to save money and time on staging costs.

Virtual Staging is used by savvy home owners and real estate agents to stage a vacant home, condo, or apartment in order to help sell the property quicker and for more money than an empty property would sell.

Over 85% of potential home buyers say that the photos are the most important factor when viewing a home online.  Over 87% of buyers view photos online before even visiting the property.  With so many vacant properties in the marketplace, to a buyer, they all start to look the same.   Virtual Staging buyers instantly recognize that a bedroom is actually a bedroom, a living room is a living room, and so on.

Barbara Corcoran stated: “This is something new, it’s so inexpensive to do!   Because you have to realize that most people start their search online.  So here’s a picture of a real bedroom and now there it is virtually staged.  It costs very little money, a lot cheaper than buying the furniture.  If you look at the living room, it’s amazing!  I had to look twice to see that this is not a real living room.  There it is empty, there it is staged.  A great way to sell a house because it looks so much better!”

Virtual Staging was originally pioneered by Virtually Staging Properties (VSP). http://virtuallystagingproperties.com The process can differ between virtual staging companies.  Most use semi-realistic digital images to act as furniture, rugs, pictures, and so on.  VSP only uses 3D images of real furniture.  The difference to the potential buyer can be rather large.
