I’d like to know which AI virtual staging tools professional real estate agents prefer to use. I'm interested in both paid and free options. I recently discovered Paintit.ai, REimagineHome, and Virtual Staging AI, but I’d love to learn about other modern solutions you use in your practice to create high-quality virtual staging. In your opinion, which of them offer the best value for money? Thanks in advance for your recommendations.

Gemini Nano Banana - it keeps the original aspect of the home/room intact while adding furnishings. I've used ChatGPT but it will often add or exclude a window or change a lighting feature. I'm sure to watermark any AI assisted photos when uploading.When you start your prompt - be sure to instruct it to make a real estate quality photo and to preserve the integrity of the room/fixtures. I also recently used it to assist a seller in what color to paint their kitchen cabinets (the color they were going to go with did not look good) My prompt was "create a real estate quality photo while keeping fixtures, backsplash and appliances the same. Clear clutter. Paint all upper cabinets Alabaster White. Paint walls Alabaster white and paint lower cabinets charcoal gray". It not only cleared the clutter on the cabinets but it gave a VERY helpful visual to my clients.

I'm a member of HAR, but located in Austin. My Brother In Law's place needs an inspection. the place (transparently) was occupied by a squatter for 2 years. we evicted her on Thursday. Hazmat/Hoarder cleaning is this week. When safe, asking for a inspector recommendation. thanks in advance.

I second Bryan & Bryan! They are a wonderful and thorough team. You can reach their team at 866.484.8318

I can post virtual open house but not open house

When you go to edit your listing in Matrix, Add/Edit Open House will be the second selection under the "Select Form" section. You may be looking under the "Other Options" section, which only has the Virtual Open House option!

There are many ways to lead generate, but what has worked the best for you? Specific details are appreciated.

Consistent source of referrals is by referral. I keep in contact with my clients before, during and after closing. I send a monthly enewsletter and also a mailed letter with an item of value (I belong to the Buffini Network that provides). I make phone calls, text when I happen to think of them, send notes etc. I have also received referrals via my online presence and reviews. I have tried Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com etc in the past to pay for leads - but I felt like I was flushing money down the toilet. At that time, most of the leads did not translate into sales (often they already had an agent!). Have a presence on social media - business FaceBook and Instagram, so you stay top of mind to those who may have forgotten you sell real estate.

Is HAR going to recommend not having open houses due to Covid19 shut down?

It is hard to say if HAR will issue a directive. Most likely it will be brokerage to brokerage. Our brokerage for instance has ceased all Open Houses. Since the CDC is asking for no more than 10 people to gather, on a good day for an Open House that might cause an issue. I have heard of a few agents still holding Open Houses with the precaution of having hand sanitizer required for all who come in, all lights on, doors opened etc and the caution to not touch. I\'ve also heard of a few model homes that are now closing, so I think it may be prudent in the near future to cease as a precaution. Possibly offer a virtual Open House and post on FaceBook etc. We\'ll all have to get creative in the short term.

Fantastic as usual You're missing out somewhere in the process from start to finish if you are not using Evelyn Black for your real estate needs.

“I had the honor to work with Kris for his first time buyers on a listing of mine, he was responsive, collaborative and being an agent as well, this is imperative on the other side of a deal for all parties! Thanks Kris, looking forward to another transaction one day!"

Dominique Sharer

Dominique Sharer recommended by Taylor Harris. Dominique helped buy a property on Feb. 5th, 2025.

“I literally can’t sing Dominique’s praises loudly ENOUGH! She is exactly the type of realtor we wanted on our side when we decided to buy a home. The buying process can be so overwhelming with all of the communications and negotiation and moving parts, but Dominique stayed on top of everything both with us and for us the entire time. Her communication is timely and top notch, her negotiating skills and know how are exceptional, and her ability to help you find the perfect home without compromising your needs (both financial and home features) is such a breath of fresh air. She’s so passionate about what she does and it SHOWS. She always puts her clients first and fights for them like you’re family. We are so grateful to have had such a wonderful home buying experience with Dominique and I recommend her to EVERYONE I can! Thank you for moving mountains and making our house dreams come true, Dominique!"
