Why Staging Wins Listings

In listing presentations, show potential sellers what you'll do for their home. "I virtually stage every listing—it's proven to sell homes 73% faster." Include before/after examples. This differentiates you from agents who just put homes on MLS and wait.

When to Stage

Stage these listings: All vacant properties (empty rooms don't sell). Occupied homes with dated furniture (remove and re-stage). Properties in competitive markets. Any listing where first impression matters. At $5/image, the question isn't "should I stage?"—it's "why wouldn't I?"

DIY vs Photographer

You have two options: 1) DIY: Take photos yourself, stage in RoomStage, upload to MLS. Best for: budget listings, fast turnaround needs. 2) Photographer: Have your photographer add staging or upload their photos to RoomStage yourself. Best for: quality-focused listings.

Marketing Staged Listings

Maximize staged photo impact: Lead with best staged room in MLS photos. Use staged images in social media marketing. Include in email campaigns. Feature in print materials. Always disclose—transparency builds trust.

Client Communication

Set expectations with sellers: "I'll virtually stage your listing photos. Buyers will see the empty home at showing, but staged photos get them in the door." Explain disclosure requirements. Most sellers appreciate the modern approach.

Tracking Results

Measure staging impact: Compare days on market for staged vs unstaged listings. Track showing requests. Monitor online engagement (views, saves). Build case studies for future listing presentations. Data proves value.
