Virtual staging for real estate photographers
You already shoot the vacant listings. Adding virtual staging lets you charge more per shoot, deliver a finished product, and give agents one less vendor to manage.
Why it fits your business
- The agent already trusts you. You're on site, you have the photos, and you're already sending an invoice.
- Vacant listings are the ones that need it most. Empty rooms look smaller and colder on screen.
- It's one more line on the invoice, not a new client relationship.
The margin math
At $10 per photo through Staged by Noon, here's what a few common resale prices look like:
| You charge per photo | Your cost | Your margin per photo | On a 5-photo listing |
|---|---|---|---|
| $20 | $10 | $10 | $50 |
| $25 | $10 | $15 | $75 |
| $35 | $10 | $25 | $125 |
Our full-listing package ($49 for up to six photos) brings your cost down further. Ask about volume pricing if you shoot a lot of vacant homes.
A simple workflow
- Shoot and edit as usual. Bright, level, wide shots of empty rooms work best.
- Upload each room, choose a style that fits the home, and tweak anything you don't love.
- Download with the “Virtually Staged” label and deliver both the staged and original photos.
Each room takes about ten seconds to stage, so it fits into your normal editing session.
How to pitch it to agents
Then show one before/after from a home they know. That usually sells it.
Keep it compliant
Staged photos generally need to be disclosed. Our staging only adds furniture and decor, and every download can carry a label. See disclosure rules for virtual staging for the details.
