Sotheby’s International Realty is the first real estate brand to implement a virtual staging augmented reality app.

Curate complements our physical home staging services. It allows buyers to visualize a house as their own before purchase and lets sellers envision how to best present different design styles and room configurations.

This can greatly simplify the home furnishing, decorating, and move-in process. Once a home is purchased, Curate by Sotheby’s International Realty can also help a new homeowner design and purchase furnishings
