Many buyers find it difficult to picture themselves in a house if it is vacant because it does not feel like a home. That\u2019s where virtual staging comes in.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckissock.com\/blog\/real-estate\/5-essential-tips-for-staging-your-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Take some time this weekend<\/a>\u00a0to set out a plan for properly marketing your vacant listings by elevating them with some virtual staging. Here are some tips:<\/p>\n<h2>Make sure the furniture is proportional<\/h2>\n<p>While you want the digitally-staged photos to help build a sense of home for buyers, you don\u2019t want to overdo it. Make sure the furniture you pick is sized appropriately for the room. Too big and the space can seem cluttered and much smaller than it actually is. If the furniture is too small, however, the room can look too sparse and awkward, and you do a disservice to your sellers by not showing the property\u2019s true potential.<\/p>\n<h2>Keep things relatively modern<\/h2>\n<p>While some buyers prefer mid-century decor and others might lean toward a minimalistic look, you have to meet everyone in the middle. Keep the furniture and decor neutral, so it doesn\u2019t alienate any one specific buyer. While this might mean taking a gamble and playing it safe, it\u2019s a much better alternative to shocking colors and extravagant furniture that may scare most buyers away.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckissock.com\/agent-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Free Guide<\/strong><\/a>: Learn from top agents across the country in our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckissock.com\/agent-insights\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>free Voice of the Real Estate Agent report<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Layout is everything<\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t just stick couches against the walls and call it a day; optimize the space by selecting the best arrangement for that specific room. That might mean a sectional facing a corner fireplace, or it could mean couches facing each other in a more symmetrical space. Every room is different, and simply using the walls can actually make a room seem much smaller and less functional.<\/p>\n<h2>Don\u2019t go too bland<\/h2>\n<p>Just because you want to appease the masses, doesn\u2019t mean that you can\u2019t insert some personality into the home. Keep it fun in recreation or game rooms, ramp up the cozy feel in a room with a fireplace, and draw people into the first room they\u2019ll walk into with some statement furniture.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a fine line between neutral and boring, so select furniture and decor pieces that will get people to call in after looking at the online pictures. After all, if you\u2019re not getting calls to schedule showings, what\u2019s the point of virtually staging in the first place?<\/p>\n<p><strong>About the Author<\/strong><i>: Liz Dominguez\u00a0<\/i><i>is RISMedia\u2019s associate content editor.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/rismedia.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">RISMedia<\/a>\u00a0is the residential real estate industry\u2019s definitive source for news and information.
