Virtual Staging By Ilaria Barion | Home Staging Pro

What is Virtual Staging?
Virtual Staging is the process of electronically staging a vacant property on the market, whether for sale or rent. In a nutshell, Virtual Staging is Home Staging without the hassle of moving or rearranging in real life. And best of all, it's accomplished at a fraction of the cost of actual Home Staging. It's Virtual, Yet Still Home Staging
To be effective, Virtual Staging should be accomplished by a professional Home Stager who knows how to appeal to the right target audience, and how to help them connect emotionally with the property. Virtual Staging by Ilaria Barion understands this, and offers the skills of one of the industry's most respected Home Stagers nationwide. Ilaria Barion is an accredited Professional Stager and a member of the Real Estate Staging Association holding RESA-PRO™ designation. Her expertise encompasses years of home staging experience, over $700 Million in staged real estate in New York City and Chicago, as well as an award-winning book on Home Staging, Set the Stage for a Sale.

Why Virtual Staging?
You'll Generate Traffic: To sell or rent a property, you've got to have traffic—traffic that is generated online. It’s where most people begin their search, comparing hundreds of properties at the speed of broadband without ever leaving their sofas. Nowadays, there's no room for unattractive images. A property must look smashing online to compete, and that’s especially true when it comes to vacant properties. So don't lose that traffic! Without moving a thing, your vacant property can now look hot overnight, and for just a few dollars. Take a look at our Virtual Staging photo gallery to view some of the virtual staged properties.

It Makes for Terrific Marketing Collateral: A photo of an empty room is colorless, bland, and ultimately uninspiring. Why waste money to produce a brochure with photos of empty rooms? Ilaria Barion’s flawless virtually staged rooms can be used instead, for everything from terrific marketing collateral, to newsletters, magazine spreads, and more. And they'll be invaluable for listing sheets to hand off to prospective clients.

It's Affordable: Although Home Staging a vacant property is a proven way to help move it faster (and for more money), not everyone can afford real-world Home Staging -- especially in this economy. Virtual Staging by Ilaria Barion is the perfect solution, offering a terrific alternative to traditional Home Staging at a fraction of the cost.

It's Super Fast: The first couple of weeks on the market are crucial. The wrong price or the wrong look can alienate potential buyers, and once they've moved on, they won’t come back. Traditional Home Staging can require weeks of research and negotiation, from selecting the right stager to finalizing the contract, and once the decision is made, it can take another week or two to stage the property. Virtual Staging, meanwhile, can create the perfect impression without all this expense and hassle, and in record time, allowing you to strike while the iron is hot.

It's Ideal for Rental Properties: Rental properties can benefit from staging just as much as the ones for sale, however traditional staging seldom makes financial sense when it comes to rentals. Thanks to Virtual Staging by Ilaria Barion, you can now afford to make your rental listing shine online, as well as in your printed marketing collateral!
