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

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. Click here for more information.  
• Do NOT need to be accompanied by an original/"as is" photo

Note: depending on the resolution of the photo, the watermark on the virtually staged photos could appear smaller than usual when you view the listing. There have been a few instances where a very large photo has caused the font size of the watermark to be difficult, if not impossible, to see. Programmers are aware of this issue and are working to resolve it (pun intended).
