A label on every image
Each staged photo carries a visible Virtually Staged mark. It is a plain disclosure, not a logo.
Virtual staging for property managers
Send the whole unit, not just one room. The photos you already took on the walkthrough come back furnished, usually the next business day, every image labelled, the original attached, and a line you can paste into the ad.


V-Stage is based in Kelowna, and you deal with the same person every time: rooms are staged with AI, and we check every image against your original before it reaches you.
Selling rather than renting, or shooting the photos yourself? There’s a page for listing agents and one for photographers.
“The unit rents unfurnished. Is that honest?”
Every image is labelled, the original comes with it, and you get a line for the ad saying the unit is unfurnished. That is the standard real estate regulators set for a staged photo, and it is a sound one to hold to in a rental: BC Financial Services Authority’s Artificial Intelligence Guideline.
“There’s still a tenant in there.”
Their things come out of the photo digitally. Nobody re-shoots an occupied unit.
“What does one unit cost?”
C$100 for the unit, and your first image is free.
The unit that isn’t empty yet
This is the normal case, and it is the one that makes photos awkward. The unit has to go up before it is empty, so the only pictures available are full of someone else’s life. The listing ends up marketing the tenant instead of the unit.
Examples
Demonstration rooms, run through the same pipeline that would run on your photos. Drag the slider to compare.






The honest bit
The staging is real work by the same pipeline that would run on your photos. The rooms themselves are samples, because no property manager has sent us one yet. You would rather hear that from us than work it out later.
So send us a unit. We’ll stage a room free, and if you like the result and you’re happy for us to use it, it goes on this page as the first real one.
Where the market is
In our own market, CMHC put Central Okanagan vacancy at 6.4% in 2025, the highest of any major Canadian metro, and City of Kelowna one-bedrooms at 9.1%. Your market is its own number, and you know it better than we do.
That is a fact about the market, not a claim about photographs. We have no data showing staging changes how quickly a unit rents. Source: CMHC Rental Market Survey.
Staying honest
There is a real objection buried in this, and it is worth putting on the table rather than waiting for you to raise it. The Province tells landlords this about advertising a unit that rents unfurnished:
“When advertising an unfurnished unit, landlords should try not to use photos that show furniture, as it can create the wrong impression.”
Province of BC, List and show a rental unit (opens in a new tab)
The same page says a listing should mention when a unit will be unfurnished. So that sentence ships with the photos, written for you:
“Photos are virtually staged. This unit is rented unfurnished.”
Paste it into the ad. That is the whole fix, and it is the piece nobody else hands you.
Each staged photo carries a visible Virtually Staged mark. It is a plain disclosure, not a logo.
The untouched file ships in the same package, so the real room is always one click away.
Room size, layout, flooring, built-ins, fixtures and visible condition are meant to stay as photographed, and the original ships beside every staged image so anyone can compare. Send back anything that differs and it’s redone. Window dressing counts as furnishing, so blinds or curtains may be restyled, but the window itself and the view through it should not change.
If you hold a BCFSA licence, the regulator’s advertising guidance says not to alter a photo in any way that would misrepresent the property, and that changing a physical characteristic of it is not acceptable. Furniture is movable. Walls are not. That is the line this service is built around — and it is the line every advertising regulator draws, in every province and state, however differently each one words it. Your own rules stay yours to check; this service is built so that checking them does not turn up a problem. Read the guidance (opens in a new tab).
Worth saying plainly: this is what we have read, not legal advice. Your managing broker is the person to confirm it with.
How it works
No software to learn, no account, nothing to install. Phone photos are fine.
Notice is in and you have photos, even phone photos. Share the folder they are in and paste the link, or upload a couple directly, with the address and anything we should know about the rooms.
Each room is furnished digitally with AI, then we check every image against the original before it leaves. Anything uncertain gets held rather than sent.
Original photos, staged images with a Virtually Staged label, a disclosure note, and a line you can paste into the listing.
Pricing
One unit is one job. Two things add to it: a room the furniture has to come out of first, and images past the included count. Your quote is confirmed before any work starts.
C$100
a unit
Up to 10 staged images, which is well past what a rental listing usually runs. A one-bedroom is normally three or four.
Founding-client pricing applies to your first 3 paid listings. Scope is confirmed when your photos arrive, and anything different is invoiced or refunded before work starts.
One package per unit, ready to go straight onto whichever listing site you use.
Questions before you send anything? Call 250-864-9446 and you will get the person who checks every image.
FAQ
What a unit costs, what changes in the photo, what to tell renters, and where you stay responsible.
C$100 for the unit, covering up to 10 staged images, which is more than a rental listing usually needs. One unit is one job. If a room still has furniture in it that has to come out first, that room is C$25, charged once however many angles you want of it. Your first image is free.
It is, provided you say so, and the delivery is built to make that easy. Every staged image carries a visible Virtually Staged label, the untouched original comes back with it, and you get a disclosure note plus a line you can paste straight into the ad: “Photos are virtually staged. This unit is rented unfurnished.” The Province’s own guidance to landlords is to avoid photos that show furniture when the unit is unfurnished, or to say in the listing that it is unfurnished. The second path is the one this is built for.
Movable furnishings only. Room size, layout, flooring, built-ins, fixtures, visible condition, the windows and the view through them are all meant to stay as photographed, and the untouched original ships with every staged image so anyone can compare — send back anything that differs and it’s redone. Window dressing is treated as furnishing rather than structure, so blinds or curtains may be restyled the same way a sofa is. Every advertising regulator draws the same line, however each one words it: a photo must not misrepresent the property. BC’s wording, which is the one we work to, is that you must use caution so as not to alter or enhance a photograph in any way that would misrepresent aspects of the property, and that changing a physical characteristic of it such that the result misrepresents the property is not acceptable. That qualifier matters, so we quote it rather than tightening it: the line is drawn at misrepresentation. Furniture is movable. Walls are not. (BC Financial Services Authority, Advertising Guidelines, under Photo-enhancing Software.)
Yes, and nobody has to re-photograph an occupied unit. We can digitally clear what’s in the room and furnish it from scratch, so the photo shows the unit rather than the current tenant’s belongings. We’ll ask you to confirm the condition of anything the furniture was hiding, since the photo can’t show it. If you have questions about using photos taken while someone is still in the unit, that’s worth raising with your managing broker or whoever signs off on your advertising.
No. Phone photos work if the room is reasonably lit and shot straight on. Send what you already take on a walkthrough. We’ll tell you if a photo is too dark or too low-quality to stage well rather than sending back something poor.
Yes. Put them in one Drive folder with a note on which photos belong to which unit, and each unit is quoted as its own job. Tell us your deadline when you send. We’d rather tell you up front that we can’t hit a date than miss it.
Next business day for a normal unit. We confirm timing when the photos arrive, and we’ll be straight with you if a batch is going to take longer.
The staging itself is done with AI image models. We check every image against your original before it reaches you, and anything that looks off is held or redone. You get the same person every time, and that is who answers when you call.
