I came across a real estate staging video on realtor.org that I thought would be of interest to real estate professionals, especially those who insist on leaving it up to the home-owner to prepare the property for viewing and/or shooting. Word of advice: don’t do it. Don’t assume that your client will know how to prepare a real estate listing to sell.
Before photographing any real estate virtual tour, photos, or videos, you should seriously consider hiring a proper stager. At the very least ask the home-owners to “make your home look like humans have not lived in it”. That usually helps a bit.
