Virtual Staging for Empty Vancouver Listings

Virtual staging earns its keep on one specific kind of listing: vacant. A seller who's already moved, a flip between renovation and sale, a new-construction unit that's never had furniture in it, an estate sale — in every one of those, empty rooms photograph badly and buyers struggle to judge scale, flow, or what a "living room" even means as bare walls and carpet. We furnish those rooms digitally with photoreal decor matched to the room's light and style, at $27.99 per photo, so you pay for exactly the rooms that need it instead of committing to a physical stager's monthly contract before the home even has an offer.

Price: $27.99 per photo

What's included

Virtual staging is applied to interior photos from your existing shoot — there's no separate site visit, so it can be added when you book photography or requested afterward once you see which rooms actually photograph as empty and flat. Tell us which rooms need it (an empty living room and primary bedroom is a common pair, at $83.97 for three photos as an example), and we place photoreal furniture, rugs, and decor sized and lit to match each room. Because it's a post-production add rather than a fixed same-day product, turnaround is confirmed at booking rather than the next-morning guarantee standard photography carries — expect it scheduled around your listing date, not an afterthought squeezed in overnight. Staged images are labeled as virtually staged in the delivered set so you can caption them correctly on MLS and Realtor.ca, and everything arrives through the same branded gallery link as the rest of your shoot.

Virtual Staging: common questions

How much does virtual staging cost?

$27.99 per photo, in CAD plus 5% GST — two rooms are $55.98 and three are $83.97. You only pay for the photos you choose to stage.

Do I have to disclose that a listing photo is virtually staged?

Yes — Metro Vancouver real estate boards generally require virtually staged images to be identified as such, typically with a caption or watermark noting the photo has been digitally furnished. We flag every staged image in your delivered set specifically so this is easy to apply correctly rather than something you have to catch yourself.

Can I stage only some of the rooms, or does it have to be the whole house?

Only some — that's the point of per-photo pricing. Most vacant listings only need two or three rooms staged (typically the living room and primary bedroom, since kitchens and bathrooms usually photograph fine empty), so a common job runs $55.98–$83.97 rather than a flat whole-property fee.

Is virtual staging only for completely empty homes, or does it work for partly-furnished ones too?

It's built for genuinely vacant rooms — an empty living room, a bare bedroom, a flip mid-renovation, or a new-construction unit that's never been lived in. If a room already has some furniture but photographs awkwardly, physical restyling during the shoot or careful framing usually solves that better than digital staging, which works best when there's nothing in the frame to work around.

Is virtual staging included in a package?

No — virtual staging isn't part of the Essential, Signature or Premium packages. It's added per photo ($27.99 each) to any shoot, so you only pay for the empty rooms that need it.
