Empty homes can feel… well, empty.
Empty homes can feel… well, empty. And when it comes to selling, that blank canvas doesn’t always spark the emotional connection buyers need to seal the deal. That’s where staging steps in—but not all staging is the same.
At Spivey Realty Group, we offer both virtual and physical staging to transform vacant spaces into homes buyers can’t wait to move into. While physical staging creates a real-world, in-person experience, virtual staging offers its own set of advantages—and might be the better choice in the right scenario.
So, when should you consider virtual staging?
1. Budget-Friendly Marketing
If you’re looking to keep upfront costs down, virtual staging is a great place to start. For just $350, your listing can be transformed with style and personality—no heavy lifting required. This cost-effective option is especially smart for investors, flippers, or sellers working with tighter margins.
2. Fast Turnaround & Flexibility
Need to get your home on the market ASAP? Virtual staging is quick and efficient. Without the need to coordinate movers or deliveries, we can stage your photos and have them ready to launch your listing in record time.
3. Great for Online-Only Appeal
Buyers often form opinions based on the first few seconds of scrolling online. Virtual staging helps maximize this impact. In fact, staged homes can get nearly four times more views online—and in our digital-first world, that exposure matters.
Pros of Virtual Staging
- Cost-effective (only $350 with no upfront payment—comes out of closing)
- Quick to implement
- Allows multiple design styles for different buyer types
- Zero physical work required from sellers
Pros of Physical Staging
- Creates an inviting, in-person experience at showings
- Helps buyers emotionally connect in real time
- Ideal for highlighting scale, flow, and use of space
- Adds a premium, polished feel to the home
Bottom Line:
If your property is going to be shown frequently in person, physical staging can give it that wow factor buyers remember. But if you’re aiming to boost your online appeal, move quickly, or market on a tighter budget, virtual staging may be your best bet.
No matter the path, we’ll make sure your vacant space doesn’t just sit—it sells.
