Virtual staging, clearly disclosed.
Digital furniture and decor added to empty listing photos — every image delivered with a visible disclosure label, the untouched original and suggested MLS wording. Reviewed by a person, fully remote, first draft within 48 hours.
Quick answer
Virtual staging is the digital insertion of photorealistic furniture, decor and lighting into an empty property photograph. İyikare delivers virtual staging as a 100% remote post-production service with expert-guided studio post-production. Every staged frame is returned with a visible disclosure label and the original, untouched image alongside it.
Expert-guided studio quality control.
Every virtual staging delivery is an expert-guided studio process: furniture is scaled against the architectural perspective of the property, shadows are aligned with the actual light source captured in the photograph, and reflections in glass or mirror surfaces are corrected one by one. These details are what keep a staged room believable — and keep walls, windows and floors exactly as they are in the original photo.
İyikare applies expert-guided post-production with proper architectural perspective alignment, consistent shadow direction, accurate material rendering and proportional furniture scaling. The first draft arrives within 48 hours of receiving complete files and an approved brief.
Disclosure standard
Staged, labelled, and delivered with the original.
An altered listing photo published without disclosure can create problems for the listing agent. So disclosure is part of every delivery, not an afterthought:
- Visible on-image label. Every staged frame carries a discreet "Virtually Staged" mark, positioned so it reads clearly without fighting the composition.
- MLS remark line supplied. You receive the disclosure sentence to paste straight into public remarks — you enter it, we draft it.
- Originals delivered alongside. The untouched as-is image ships with every edit, so the true condition of the property is always on file.
- Nothing structural is altered. No walls removed, no damage concealed, no square footage implied that is not there. Staging shows potential; it never misrepresents condition.

Frequently asked questions
Virtual staging — straight answers.
What is virtual staging and how does İyikare deliver it?
+
Virtual staging is the digital insertion of photorealistic furniture, decor and lighting into an empty property photograph, allowing buyers to perceive the space as lived-in. İyikare delivers it as a 100% remote post-production service: you send raw photos (phone, camera or drone), our studio renders the staged versions with expert-guided, quality-controlled post-production, and the first draft of your full-resolution files plus social-media copies arrives within 48 hours. Every staged frame ships with a visible disclosure label.
How do you help me meet my MLS disclosure rules?
+
Every staged image is returned with a visible on-image disclosure label, the untouched original, and suggested wording for your MLS public remarks. Many MLSs and some states require altered listing photos to be identified, and the rules differ, so review the files against your local MLS requirements before publishing. We cannot guarantee compliance with a specific MLS; the listing entry stays with you.
How much does virtual staging cost?
+
Fixed, in US dollars: Vacant Listing Staging is $149 for 5 staged images (up to 3 rooms), with matching originals and disclosure labels. A short listing video made from those images is a $59 add-on. Larger launches (Launch Day, Atelier) and multi-listing work are quoted on request.
How does İyikare keep virtual staging spatially accurate?
+
Every virtual staging delivery is expert-guided and quality-controlled: furniture is scaled against the architectural perspective of the property, shadows are aligned with the actual light source in the photograph, and reflections in glass or mirror surfaces are corrected one by one. This is essential for the luxury segment where buyers detect minor inconsistencies and lose trust within seconds.
What file formats and image specs do you accept?
+
All common formats: JPG, PNG, MP4, MOV. Minimum 12MP resolution recommended. Phone photos (iPhone 11+, Samsung S20+, Pixel 5+) work well in good daylight. Files are received via Google Drive, WeTransfer, iCloud or any cloud storage. Raw camera files (.CR2, .NEF, .ARW, .RAW) are also accepted for maximum dynamic range recovery.
Is virtual staging legal for a listing?
+
Yes, when it is disclosed. Virtual staging is standard practice across the industry; what creates liability is presenting an altered image as an unaltered one. Every image we deliver carries a visible disclosure label, we hand you the disclosure line to paste into your MLS public remarks, and we never alter anything structural — no removing walls, no hiding damage, no changing what the property actually is. Staging shows potential; it must never misrepresent condition.
