What role do captions play in virtual staged real estate listings?

Captions in virtual staged listings clarify which photos show digital furniture and which show the real space, preventing confusion. Clear labels like “virtually staged” next to an original photo guide buyers to understand edits versus reality. This transparency respects buyer intelligence and builds trust. Captions also reinforce the home’s true scale and potential, making virtual staging a helpful visualization tool rather than a deceptive tactic. Using captions alongside floor plans and tours creates a complete, honest marketing package.
