Virtual Staging Coming of Age for the Real Estate Industry in 2018, According to RealEZPhotoFix

Real Estate Agents find Photo Enhancement and Virtual Staging Solutions to be Effective in Markets with Out of Area and International Buyers.

PLEASANTON, CALIF. (FEBRUARY 15, 2018) -- VirtualTourCafe, a national real estate virtual tour service, recently launched RealEZPhotoFix, an online service to help real estate agents convert cold, empty, uninviting homes into beautifully staged, warm and inviting spaces using modern technology and skilled designers.

"We had so many of our real estate virtual tour clients asking about virtual staging, we put together a team of professionals to design and launch a service that would be easy to use, realistic high-quality photos and still be inexpensive and fast turn-around. Our clients tell us we achieved our goal, said Tim Denbo, President/CEO RealEZPhotoFix.

The new online real estate virtual staging and photo enhancement service also offers real estate agents the ability to convert their photos from good to great in less than 24 hours by using highly skilled photo editors to apply a proprietary 15-step process designed to make the agent look like a professional photographer, and help the real estate agent and home owner sell fast and many times for a higher price.

"Real estate agents have a lot of challenges with getting a property ready for the market. There are situations when the photos need to get done even though it is a cloudy day, a car is in the driveway, or the house doesn't get decluttered in time for photos. This is why we developed RealEZPhotoFix said Tim Denbo President/CEO RealEZPhotoFix and Best-Selling Author of How to Photograph and Market Houses to Sell Fast."

Virtual staging is coming of age due to new 3D technology enhancements allowing skilled designers and editors to create realistic photos with incredible details that make it hard to tell the difference between a physically staged home and a virtually staged home. In addition, buyers are becoming more accepting of technology tools and are not surprised, as long as the real estate agent or homeowner discloses the facts. A good practice is to show both photos, the before and after with disclaimer that the after photo has been virtually staged.

Even with virtual staging coming of age, home stagers are not going to be out of a job anytime soon. Virtual staging is not going to replace physical home staging. If the seller has the budget to do physical staging, this is still the preferred method so buyers visiting the home can see it in person. However, with virtual staging costing just $32 per photo at RealEZPhotoFix, the difference of hundreds if not thousands of dollars can make a big difference if the seller is on a budget.

RealEZPhotoFix was developed to help the agent with these and many other issues. The photo enhancement services include turning cloudy skies blue and object removal to declutter or get rid of that car in the driveway. These changes can make the difference between a house selling fast and siting on the market and getting stale. Virtual staging is coming of age, and real estate agents and brokers are helping their clients sell their homes faster and many times for a higher price by utilizing this new innovative tool.
