Virtual Staging for Real Estate Photographers

Virtual staging is a high-margin add-on service. If you charge $150 for photography and add $75 for staging (while your cost is $30), you've added $45 profit per shoot. For 100 shoots/year, that's $4,500 additional profit with minimal extra work.

Integrate staging into your existing workflow: 1) Shoot property as normal, 2) During editing, identify empty rooms for staging, 3) Upload to RoomStage (30 seconds per room), 4) Download and include in delivery, 5) Or use Aryeo integration for seamless export.
