From Vision to Sale: Tristan Ahumada’s Virtual Renovation Triumph
In a digital age where real estate marketing is rapidly evolving, Tristan Ahumada, Co-Founder & CEO of LabCoat Agents, stands as a beacon of innovation. His recent collaboration with BoxBrownie.com in transforming a Hollywood Hills property serves as a testament to the transformative power of virtual renovation and staging in the real estate market.
The Journey of Transformation


The property in question, originally an eccentric, space-themed nightclub, underwent a stunning metamorphosis. The before-and-after images tell a story of remarkable transition:
- Before: The property featured blackout windows, glow-in-the-dark paint, and LED strip lighting – a unique but niche appeal.
- After: A chic living space with panoramic ocean views and tasteful furniture, creating a universally appealing aesthetic.


This transformation wasn’t just about changing a design; it was about reimagining the potential of the space, a concept that resonates deeply with the principles of virtual staging.
Virtual Staging and Renovation: A Synergy of Transformation
The principles of virtual staging in real estate, as exemplified by BoxBrownie.com’s services, align closely with the transformative approach Tristan Ahumada applied to the Hollywood Hills property. These principles highlight the multifaceted benefits of virtual staging and renovation in the real estate market:
- Visualization: Virtual staging and renovation enhance a property’s potential, making it easier for buyers to envision themselves in the space, something crucial in Tristan’s project.
- Boosting Appeal: These techniques generate increased interest in a property, often leading to better selling prices and quicker sales, as demonstrated by the successful outcome of the Hollywood Hills transformation.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Offering a budget-friendly alternative to physical staging, virtual renovation allows for significant financial savings while still delivering high-impact results.
- Customization: With virtual staging and renovation, a wide range of style options become available, adaptable to various buyer preferences, allowing for a tailored approach to marketing a property.
- Efficiency: These digital methods save significant time and effort compared to traditional staging methods, enabling rapid transformation and marketing of properties.
The Strategy Behind the Success
Tristan’s approach was two-fold: not only did he transform the space visually, but he also embraced the ethos of transparency. He ensured that potential buyers were aware of the virtual nature of the renovation. This strategy underscores the importance of honesty in real estate marketing, aligning expectations with reality.
The Impact After Virtual Renovations
The project culminated in the successful sale of the property, highlighting the effectiveness of virtual renovation as a powerful tool in real estate marketing. It stands as a shining example of how innovative digital tools can be employed to showcase a property’s true potential.
Tristan Ahumada’s use of virtual renovation, drawing upon the principles of virtual staging, illustrates a new frontier in real estate marketing. It’s a clear message to the industry about the power of digital innovation in transforming how properties are presented and sold.

Right before your real estate business grows, things usually get harder. Doubt creeps in. Deals fall through. Leads go cold. You start second guessing yourself. Most agents take that as a sign to slow down. To pull back. To wonder if this is really worth it. And just like you, I’ve thought this too, it’s […]
