Here at MARIS we recognize that vacant properties can sometimes be less visually appealing and receive fewer views online. As a result, you can now include virtually altered photos in Matrix!
Benefits
Virtually staged photos can help buyers relate to the property on a personal level and visualize themselves living in a home.
Virtual staging can take less time and be cost efficient when traditional staging isn’t in the marketing budget. According to an article published by Inman - the average cost of staging a home is one to three percent of the asking price!
