Virtual Staging in Washington DC

Did you know that staged homes sell for 17% more money AND 87% faster than non-staged homes? When selling in our nation's capital, staging the property gives your listing a leg up on the competition. However, as most Washington DC real estate agents already know, “traditional”home staging presents a few major obstacles. 

If you’re leaving your listings up to the buyer’s imagination, you’re leaving money on the table. 

It typically costs about 1% of the home’s selling price to physically stage a home. In DC, that’s an average of about $7,000. Plus, the city is full of high-rise apartment buildings and multi-level condos and townhomes.

That means that stagers have to physically orchestrate the furniture (plus moving and storing the client’s furniture if they still live in the property), the moving team, the building’s elevators and stairs, and the timing it can be a logistical nightmare. Ultimately, that drives your costs up.

In the end, the cost of staging large homes or homes with multiple bedrooms can easily skyrocket past five figures.

And if you want to move quickly and get an apartment on the market ASAP, you’re in trouble. It takes a bare minimum of one week to get a home physically staged. It’s a labor-intensive job that can’t be done in short periods of time.

In addition to the high cost and high level of inconvenience and labor, the biggest problem with in-person home staging might be the inventory limitations. Unfortunately, many home stagers have limited access to appropriately scaled and styled furniture and decor, and aren’t professionally trained to understand your needs. They may only have a small selection of items to stage your home, limiting their ability to masterfully design your spaces.

In the end, your staging company may be forced to choose furniture that is physically easy to move, even if it isn’t the best style for the property.

The clear solution is virtual staging.
