Technology has transformed real estate marketing. With virtual staging, sellers can showcase beautifully furnished rooms without moving a single sofa. But does it work as well as in-person staging?

Section 1: What is Virtual Staging?

  • Digitally enhanced listing photos.

  • Low-cost and quick.

  • Great for vacant condos.

Section 2: Benefits of Virtual Staging

  • Budget-friendly.

  • Faster turnaround.

  • Flexible styling options.

Section 3: Downsides of Virtual Staging

  • Creates buyer disappointment at showings.

  • Works only for online marketing, not in-person tours.

  • Higher ROI proven in the GTA.

Section 5: Which is Right for You?
