Virtually Staged Photos

Virtual staging allows you to digitally enhance photos of a property to show prospective buyers what it could potentially look like by adding furniture and design elements, such as:

  • rearranging/move furniture
  • adding virtual furniture/decor to empty rooms
  • adding curtains to windows
  • removing clutter/furniture to show what a room looks like empty

When you are virtually staging a property, you must be careful not to misrepresent the house, yard or surroundings. For example, you are not allowed to remove permanent structures (high power lines, water tower, etc.).

 

Virtually staged photos:

  • Must have a stamp/watermark that notes that they are virtually staged. If you do not watermark the photo yourself prior to uploading it, you can ask connectMLS to apply its own watermark to the photo.

    There is a field (Are any property photos virtually staged?) on the Virtual Tours & Photographers tab in Add/Edit where you can indicate that there are virtually staged photos on the listing:

  • Do not need to be accompanied by an original/"as is" photo.
