Brief Summary From Spotless Agency CEO All the programs we’ve already mentioned have given a good account of themselves on virtual staging market, but, certainly, each of them has certain limitations. Some programs have the strictly limited base of 3D models and the final results do not look realistic enough. In Spotless Agency we use only 3ds Max, Corona Renderer and Adobe Photoshop. We consider these programs to be among the best ones to create a realistic photograph.

Also, we are not limited in selecting the models of furniture and accessories, because nowadays it is possible to buy or make in 3D program any model you need.

. How widespread is it being used? My sense from looking at a lot of real estate photographers websites and from comments on past posts on virtual staging is it is not widespread (my guess is about 5% of real estate photographers provide virtual staging services). The reason is, it’s not easy to do well and it’s time-consuming and expensive so you need to charge as much for virtual staging a few rooms as for the rest of the shoot if you are going to make money at it.

Not all markets will accept this extra cost. It probably works fine in upper-end markets. What’s the best or most popular software for virtual staging? From the research I’ve done, there are a number of online DIY staging websites.,. And there are probably some I’ve missed. The reason these are all online subscription sites is that a large part of virtual staging software is access to an extensive library of 3D furniture. This is not something you’re going to do with Photoshop and some photos of furniture from past shoots. Furniture needs to be in 3D form so it can be rotated around to look natural.

I saw a need for this a couple years ago, and played with it a bit last winter when things where slow. To get my furniture and wall hangings, I went into local furniture stores (shooting several angles of each piece or set). Using Photoshop to remove all background, I was able to build a decent library.

The problem came in actual use. While many rooms were straight forward enough to get good results, the time involved with re-sizing, tweaking angles and adding shadows turned out to be more than I wanted to invest. At some point I might give it another try, but (at least right now) I’m busy enough to keep it on the shelf.

We do have an affiliate program that a lot of photographers are using where you can refer clients to us and receive a 15% commission on their orders. We also have a white label reseller program if you prefer to keep everything under your own brand. We’ve invested a lot upfront to build a comprehensive furniture database and our own custom software in order to scale for high volume orders and make the process as fast, reliable and photo-realistic as possible.

The first commercial Mac OS X Intel boxes may appear as early as January 2006 and certainly by June 2006.

@jimmt – I’ve only heard of one other case where an MLS didn’t like the use of Virtual Staging but they eventually allowed it as long as a disclaimer of “photos virtually staged” was put in the listing description. Usually it is not a problem at all though and we work with clients in every state and multiple countries. If you have a link or contact to more info regarding the MLS and virtual staging in your area I’d love to speak with them about it.

Typically the issue would come from the MLS not being very up to date with innovation or tech trends and not fully understanding the concept. Some also get confused if they have a clause about modifying a photo for nefarious reasons (hiding damage etc.) but that doesn’t apply to Virtual Staging. It’s really no different than photographing a house with the owners furniture in it but then they move out a few days later and the home is shown vacant.

Happy to chat with anyone on the subject or answer any questions:. November 13th, 2015 at 6:11 pm. I just can’t justify the cost of some of these sites $75 a photo?!?! How in the world can you mark that up? I’ve only had one client in the past two years ask for virtual staging and that was at the request of the seller. When you add up the cost for staging 5-6 rooms you’re not to far off of having it staged for real.

I am using a Microsoft Office for Mac. I want to ask question regarding the pivot function for Microsoft Excel for Mac.

Microsoft excel free download - Microsoft Excel 2016, Templates for Microsoft Excel, Templates for Microsoft Excel, and many more programs. The Best Excel Templates for Mac. Great for students.

The other issue is that when a buyer gets to see the virtual staged home, there’s nothing there an empty house and disappointment. “Oh, this isn’t the house that I saw in the MLS” It’s almost like a bait and switch. With real staging, at least there’s really furniture.

But back to the point at hand. To me, all those virtual staging services are overpriced and have you over a barrel because they own the proprietary software. In comes AutoDesk, (yes the maker of AutoCAD) and offers a FREE app called Homestyler. While it’s not as robust as some of these service based companies, it’s FREE and it works pretty darn well. Now, you do have to upload your images to your tablet and process them there, but did I mention that it’s FREE!

There is also a web-based service that is also FREE but to me it’s quite a bit more cumbersome. I haven’t had a chance to use it for profit, but I can see myself doing just that the next time I get a request for it. And I can do it for something way more reasonable than $75 a photo. Check it out. November 14th, 2015 at 10:41 am. I am the founder of VisualStager, and I want to thank photographyforrealestate for covering virtual staging software as a topic.

As they are doing mainly 3D floor plans. They have done few sets of virtual staging for me and I can say best quality and most realistic look so far out of the providers I have tried previously for about half the price you mention here.

I can easily double that price for my clients. Photos look like real life with right shadows and lighting. Worth trying out if you are serious about this service. I’m sure you can ask them for some trials before committing. November 17th, 2015 at 5:08 am. Hello guys, I thought I was the only virtual stager in the world.

Someone corrected me and said it is called digital staging. I am left over from the 1900’s.

I used to be a interior designer now I do OK as virtual stager in my area. I use Photoshop. I can build things from very little information and manipulate the image and its layered it on over the photo of the room. Of course if I shoot the space I angle the shot just so that it is going to accommodate the virtual staging.

I would love to hear from anyone. Alexcaydamdesign.net. July 12th, 2016 at 2:18 am. I haven’t got any idea about virtual staging until my colleagues advised me to use I was absolutely stunned by realism of the images. I emailed them to ask for further information.

The feedback was super fast. The prices appeared to be very attractive so I made my first order without any hesitation. The turnaround time is about 24 hours which seems so little for such a great job. Virtually staged apartments went of super quickly. Now i don’t even think about using real staging. Virtual staging is a true break-through. Have been using Hasten ever since.

Hi Lisa, Unfortunately that’s probably your only option right now. We personally use a collection of 3 different tools, including one that we custom built over the years. Our designers have also been working in 3D realism for 3+ years. When you add up the cost of our software, the cost of our furniture library, the time it takes to virtually stage a photo and the learning curve, you’ll likely be paying way more than you would if you had hired an agency. Remember, time = money and is probably better spent on your core competencies. There are some tools out there for you to plug things in and get some resemblance of virtual staging but the hard part is the realism.

This requires a high quality furniture library that doesn’t come with any out of the box software but also extensive knowledge in 3D lighting, modeling and perspective matching. This is why a whole industry exists for virtual staging, just as it does for doctors, plumbers, mechanics, etc you may be able to hack something together but it’s likely better left up to the professionals with domain expertise. Plus you’re still saving thousands over physical staging. I’m happy to chat with you to see if we can help in some way and make something fit within your budget.

Feel free to reach out to me at. June 16th, 2017 at 8:37 am.

Hey everyone – i see people are posting a lot about which virtual staging companies are great. I just wanted to share that i used and they are great! I didn’t really know which company to choose and I looked up some reviews and gave a call. Their company was very easy to work with and the results were fantastic! They were, from my understanding, the only company that actually allows you to tell them what you want. They give you the flexibility to really go above and beyond in what I was looking for in the staging.

Also, their prices were SO MUCH BETTER compared to some other companies that produced either the same quality or worse. I highly recommend anyone to check them out!

– Its Virtual Staging & Rendering Group. May 29th, 2018 at 3:36 am. Cody, A DIY software can never produce the high quality virtual staging renderings that today’s Real Estate Agents expect. Secondly most Virtual Staging orders go through a fair bit of revisions because interior design can be so personal. That is why we continue to offer this as a reasonably priced service to our customers. We offer same day delivery, free revisions and 100% money back guarantee. Try us out you will love it.
