We’re covering a potentially controversial topic today, or at least one that will divide opinions – virtual staging.  As staging companies we’ve all been asked about virtual staging and we’ve all lost work when a seller decides to use virtual staging to save costs.  But is it a service you should be offering alongside your physical home staging service?

To discuss this question Jake is joined today by Krisztina Bell, the founder of both a physical and a virtual home staging business. The physical home staging business is called No Vacancy Home Staging and was started in 2005 in Atlanta, Georgia. And the virtual staging business is called Virtually Staging Properties, and has a claim to being one of the pioneers of virtual staging, starting operations in 2007.

Krisztina has been recognized as a Who’s Who in Atlanta Real Estate for the past 3 years in a row and she has recently been named in the Top 75 Most Influential People in Real Estate Staging.

She’s been in all sorts of media publications and has a course teaching real estate agents about home staging, so she’s definitely qualified to talk about the industry.
