What is Redesign?

Redesign in real estate refers to the process of making strategic changes to the layout, decor, and overall appearance of a property to enhance its appeal and marketability. This can involve rearranging furniture, updating decor, painting walls, adding new fixtures, or making other cosmetic improvements to transform the space and make it more attractive to potential buyers.

This in-person component can be a big factor in getting buyers to make an offer, or a higher one.  

The perception of virtual room staging versus real staging is also different. Most buyers prefer real staging to virtual home staging. According to a survey of buyers’ agents, 20% cited traditional physical staging as “much more important” to their clients when comparing it to photos, videos, virtual tours, and virtual staging. In fact, virtual staging had the smallest percentage of agents cite it “as much more important” of all these choices at only 5%.2  

Digital staging also tends to be less expensive than real staging. Those homeowners or agents that do choose to virtual stage their homes will often do so because they do not want to spend the money upfront. While money is a common barrier, it no longer has to be
