Best Virtual Staging in Chicago

Chicago has housing stock you don't see in many other cities: greystone two-flats and three-flats, brick bungalows across the Bungalow Belt, vintage courtyard buildings in Lakeview and Rogers Park, and timber lofts in the West Loop and River North. Each is laid out differently, and vacant units of all of them photograph cold. That's especially true in winter, when exterior shots are gray and buyers rely on the interiors to picture living there. Virtual staging adds that warmth without moving furniture up a back porch in January.

Two-flats, vintage condos and lofts

For a two-flat or three-flat, stage the owner's unit as a home and the rental unit as a clean, appealing rental, so investors and owner-occupants can each see their own use for it. Vintage condos with built-ins, radiators and bay windows suit classic or transitional staging that works with the original details. West Loop, Fulton Market and River North lofts with exposed brick and timber suit industrial or modern staging. Suburban listings in Evanston, Oak Park and Naperville mostly suit warm transitional styles.

Listing through the winter

Homes that list from November through March are photographed in short, gray days. Staging can't change the weather outside, but it can make the interiors look warm and lived-in, with rugs, throws, warm lamp light and set tables. Keep the original photos and label staged ones clearly, so buyers know exactly what's in the home when they visit.
