Dive in and see how these professional edits can elevate your real estate listings and marketing materials.

Commercial Virtual Remodeling

#1: From Unfinished Shell to Polished Professional

It’s hard to see the full potential of this unfinished shell space, but that’s where virtual remodeling comes in! We took this space from boundaryless and dusty to a functional, modern office space. Now you don’t need to be a professional contractor or designer to see just how much you can do with the space.

#2: From Empty Office to Creative Showroom

Office space is office space is office space… except it isn’t! This empty room gets a creative virtual remodel, transforming into a vibrant and inspiring showroom perfect for a design company. We love the designated displays for window treatments, tile and flooring selections, and other finishings. A collaborative and inspiring environment often leads to the best work!

Commercial Virtual Staging

#3: From Unwelcoming to a Cheery Reception

This virtual staging transformation is proof you don’t need a vast, open-space modern office building to greet clients. See how a small entryway becomes a cheery reception with a modern desk, a custom logo, decor, and a touch of greenery. It’s much easier to imagine a warm, friendly face to welcome visitors to the building, creating a lasting impression.

Residential Virtual Remodeling

#4: From Daytime Blues to Poolside Evenings

There’s so much opportunity with an open backyard – a garden, a play area, a pool – the options are endless. We’re feeling summer fun and staycations with this virtual remodel! A sparkling pool transforms the space into a private oasis for cooling off or relaxing under the stars. The twilight edit on this image is also a favorite, with the sunset colors contrasting beautifully with the blue water.

#5: From Separate Rooms to Cohesive Living

Open the floor plan; open the possibilities! This virtual remodel seamlessly connects the kitchen, dining, and living areas, perfect for entertaining. New flooring and paint unifies the space, making it feel light and airy. We can picture lively get-togethers with family and friends, with room for various activities while keeping everyone connected with an open line of sight.

#6: From Outdated to Updated Retreat

The carpet, wall paint, and light fixtures really date this bedroom, but our virtual remodel brings it up to modern buyer standards. We love how the wood flooring and cream-colored walls brighten the room while the virtual furniture arrangement creates a cozy retreat. This is what homebuyers are dreaming of!

Residential Virtual Staging

#7: From Blank Canvas to Modern Living

Open floor plans offer amazing potential, but visualizing their functionality can be challenging. The virtual staging of modern furniture and everyday items breathes life into the living, kitchen, and dining areas. They seamlessly complement the existing stylish features of the home, creating a modern dream home for the luxury buyer.

#8: From Unfurnished Beauty to Cozy Haven

We love this photo editing project because it shows how much virtual staging can enhance a real estate photo that’s already beautiful. That marble slab almost sells itself! Adding cozy, neutral-colored furniture and a warm glow from the fireplace creates an inviting ambiance, while still allowing the home’s existing features to shine.

#9: From Busy to Relaxed Style

Everyone has their own style, and most buyers understand they’re shopping for a house; not everything in it. But it can be distracting when they walk into a room that looks busy. This photo edit first declutters the existing furniture and decor, then virtually replaces it with a more neutral palette. We love that it keeps the pop of color and incorporates complementary pieces in the new look.

#10: From Zero to Dream Garage

We just went from zero to seven vehicles to really highlight the value of this spacious garage. There’s no question about what will fit – no measuring tapes required. The vehicles also match the sleek, understated luxury of the attached home, appealing to the same buyer demographic. This image sets the pace for a lifestyle that accelerates from zero to extraordinary!
