Is virtual staging effective vs actual staging?

[Cory Johnson]

My business partner and I are wrapping up our first ever fix and sell property in St. Paul, MN and are getting ready to put it on the market. I'm curious about people's experiences with virtual staging and would like some opinions on whether people who have done it found it to be comparable with physically staging a property with regard to effectiveness. Do people ever have adverse reactions to walking through an empty house after seeing it furnished in photos? I actually haven't even looked into costs yet but I'm assuming it's far less expensive than actual staging. Any thoughts or opinions would be much appreciated!
