For the past several months we have been working on a ground-up visual redesign of VirtualStagingSolutions.com. With this redesign came several new features to make virtual staging even more powerful and effective.

We’ve introduced the much requested ability to select furniture collections, mobile friendly presentation pages, video presentations along with some client area overhauls to make the entire virtual staging process faster, easier and more enjoyable.

This update is by far one of the most incredible projects we have worked. Here’s a quick look at some of our new features:

Select Your Furniture

The ability to see our furniture collections and select exactly the furniture that you are looking for is something that we heard many requests for.

We listened to your feedback and took action immediately.

This took us nearly a year to develop because we weren’t willing to just “slap together some furniture” and display it on our website for you to choose from. We don’t think of ourselves as an average company so we didn’t want to give you average furniture collections.

Instead, we worked with world-class designers that hand selected each piece of furniture and accessory to create high-quality room collections that resulted in sophisticated yet livable spaces. We then worked with many of these collections to make sure that they have the highest level of realism once implemented into your photos.

Finally, we gathered months of feedback and test results from our clients and studied buyers and sellers on how well our furniture collections perform in selling property.

The result of all this is what finally created our furniture gallery – a high-quality, professionally designed and tested gallery of our most popular and most effective furniture collections. Choose from any of these collections after uploading your photos. Want our designers to choose for you? We can do that also. We’ll be introducing many more furniture collections as soon as they pass our extensive testing. Stay tuned for updates!

Mobile Friendly Presentation Pages

How you present your property listing matters.After working with many real estate agents and property managers for years we’ve seen the hassles that they go through to email photos to potential buyers and get the right listing information in front of the right people. Have you ever seen those generic links that agents email through the MLS that take you to an ugly page with the tiny photos of the property?

Ugly MLS design vs. Presentation Page

We’re providing a better solution – absolutely free, included with every virtual staging purchase.

We’ve developed a beautifully designed presentation page to display large images of your photos, listing information, a map to the property and we’ve even integrated Google Street View so your clients can explore the neighborhood right from their computer or mobile devices.

Have a look at our demo page here. You can easily share this page with anyone and they’ll have instant access to your photos, property and contact information all on a simple to understand and beautifully designed web page. Here’s something your competition probably isn’t doing. You’re clients will be amazed.

To top it all off, immediately “out-of-the-box” your presentation page will come preloaded with your virtually staged photos and it will be mobile friendly.

This means you can send it to clients and they can view it on their iPhone, iPad or other mobile device. If they are out looking at houses they can view your page on their phone and get GPS directions directly to your listing! Showing a home? Bring an iPad with you to show off your virtually staged photos at the property.

See it in action on the iPad at the video below:

Video Presentations

As an optional add-on you can now turn your photos into a professionally produced video simliar to the one below. This is great for displaying on your presentation page, your own website, sending to clients or even linking to from the MLS.

We’ve seen the incredible effects of video on our own website, it keeps our visitors around longer, engages them and provides an experience that they can’t get anywhere else.

When selling or renting a property we can help you take advantage of this medium. We’ll include specific information about your property in the video and a call to action that will create excitement around your listing and make you stand out from your competition.

More surprises in store

We’ve also overhauled our client area, photo upload and ordering process to make sure your virtually staged photos come out better than ever. We’re still evolving and improving our services everyday… stay tuned for more updates and exciting new advancements in our virtual staging service. Have a suggestion for us?
