Agents still send empty-room photos and wonder why buyers bounce in three seconds. Staging a house costs thousands and takes a week. Most listings don't get that.

What actually moves a listing:

• Staged photos so the rooms feel livable

• A tour so remote buyers can walk it

• Renders from a floor plan when the home isn't built yet

If you list empty or off-plan homes, that's the whole job. Do those three before you spend another dollar boosting the listing.
