How do agents use paired originals with virtual staging effectively?

Agents use paired originals by showing the real, unedited photos alongside virtually staged ones so buyers see both reality and potential. This approach highlights space scale and design ideas without misleading about permanent features. For example, a listing shows the empty living room, then a staged version with furniture and rugs, both labeled clearly. Adding a floor plan reinforces dimensions. This transparency builds buyer confidence and reduces cancellations after showings, making the listing more credible and effective.
