What are common mistakes agents make with virtual staging?

Common agent mistakes include using virtual staging to hide flaws or adding rooms that don’t exist, which violates MLS rules and destroys buyer trust. Another error is failing to disclose digitally added furniture or showing staged images without originals. These misrepresentations cause cancellations after showings and damage reputation. The best practice is to use virtual staging to highlight potential honestly, paired with original photos and floor plans to clarify what’s real versus staged.
