Wrong.
Breast implants and plastic surgery are alterations to "fixtures."
Fixtures convey.
Furniture is "personal property."
It is only negotiable, and not assumed to convey.
Virtual furniture presentation would be no different than viewing photos with existing furniture, and the seller then packing and moving out.
The real property is not impacted by the presence or absence of non-conveying personal property.
How can the opinion that is my own be wrong for me? The question posed was *what do you think*,
I posted and my reply/opinion and you are telling me that I am wrong?
Okay hon, whatever you believe...

Really, hon?
You ARE absolutely entitled to your opinion, misguided as it may be.
On a public forum where others could be influenced by superstition, it is reasonable for someone to discuss fact and put up intelligent counter to your erroneously drawn opinion, sugar.

I've been doing virtual staging on my vacant homes, as well as homes where I feel the furniture is out dated, and I get many compliments on it. The agents love it, especially when it's "older" furniture as it allows them to show their buyers how modern furniture can completely change the look of a room. It's worth the money.
Falconhead, I've never heard of it. Is it just an extra program realtors subscribe to? I'd like to tell my wife about it so she can let her realtor friends know. Our RE market is not doing well here, so any advantage can help.
Definitely agree that they should have the photos both ways, particularly if there are any "enhancements" that go beyond furniture/staging. But I actually think they shouldn't change anything that is a part of the house itself, vs. the furniture and decor, etc. that is going to be gone when you buy either way whether it's virtual stating or real life staging.
On the other hand, depending on how long the process takes to generate the photos, it could be a helpful tool for a buyer who was thinking of doing some renos and wanted to get a better sense of what things might look like before they put in an offer. Similar to the home design shows where they talk about the concept for remodeling and then show a visualization of it.
Augmented Reality allows clients to see the potential.
Changing color, compare flooring, removing a wall, adding a larger windows or even a skylight.
Both photos untouched and staged, before and after should always be accessible preventing bait and switch.
Yes, it does.
But, it is up to the customer and their buyers' agent to address potential, moreso than marketing that shows fixtures and structure that do not exist.

There is no subscription. They just need to find a company that does it. Your profile says you're in Houston, but you said the market isn't doing well... but I hear just the opposite. I'm in Austin and we're doing well, as is Dallas area and San Antonio. Why are you saying Houston isn't doing well?

I don't advertise it, per se. I don't want other agents to catch on because then I don't stand out in listing appointments. In my listings, I do put it in the description, and I get calls all the time from agents asking the companies I use, and I sometimes tell them, but not always. I don't need everyone offering the same services I offer.
When I list, I always put the "real" photo either next to or underneath the staged photo so people can see the differences immediately and not have to hunt for them.
I think it's awesome! I've never seen it before. Sometimes it's hard to visualize how a vacant home will look with furniture in it. This gives you that option.
I believe if one shows the existing room meaning as it, then enhances/modifies it to show the potential is just fine. The product could be used to mislead and then I would have issues.
