BoxBrownie offer a large number of entry level services like photo retouching at a low dollar value. They also offer good quality 3D rendering services at a reasonable cost.

These real estate professionals come to Render3DQuick and choose to pay a bit more for the same quality, but love how quickly we turn around their renderings.

BoxBrownie Comparison and Reviews
Virtual staging, 3D rendering and other BoxBrownie offers are increasingly popular for people looking to build, renovate or sell houses, even more so over the last few years.
Historically only real estate agents, architects, and interior designers have been interested in virtual staging solutions.
Nowadays, however, especially with increasing real estate prices, there is also a great interest in residential and commercial real estate virtual staging from regular people looking to plan out their space or get a higher value in home sales.
For owner-occupiers looking to renovate their homes, virtual renovations and virtual furniture give them the tools to decide how best to improve their living spaces.
Boxbrownie's virtual staging offerings are some of the best on the market.
Render3DQuick Vs BoxBrownie
3D rendering is a very sought-after service by real estate agents and virtual staging service professionals. Here at Render3DQuick we’ve seen a surge of growth since 2019, and we imagine the same could be said for BoxBrownie.
Suites of 3D rendering and virtual staging software exists for these services but real estate agents and marketers prefer to outsource their projects to companies like Render3DQuick and BoxBrownie, knowing that architectural visualization, photo editing services and image enhancement will attract potential buyers for their real estate, and that their time is better spent on sales and business development than trying to fulfill these services themselves.
BoxBrownie (an Australian company, based in Maroochydore, Queensland) offers real estate photography services ranging from basic photo editing to the creation of a full 2D/3D model of your house including virtual tours.
Render3DQuick is a leading provider of 3D rendering services and architectural visualizations to real estate business and other real estate professionals across different continents, with a main focus on North America.
Both companies have years of experience and large teams that allow them to handle jobs of high volume and complexity. Aside from 3D rendering, BoxBrownie also offer 3D animations, virtual staging, image enhancements, floor plan redraws, item removal, background removal, dusk and dawn lighting / shots, virtual renovation including furniture placement, and residential room restructuring.
At Render3DQuick we specialize in 3D rendering, architectural animations and virtual tours.
Both Box Brownie and Render 3D Quick offer virtual staging and 3D rendering services of similar quality (the image above is ours). Box Brownie tend to be cheaper, but our clients tell us they prefer how quickly we can turnaround projects and are happy to pay a bit more.
A comparison of the service offerings of Box brownie and Render3DQuick:
QUALITY OF WORK
When it comes to archviz, staff experience offers a big competitive advantage to the right company. The Render3DQuick team prides itself in having artists with decades of experience in their portfolio. This allows us the advantage of a workflow that is tailored to play to each of our staff members' strengths allowing us to deliver excellent service.
All we require from you is a few details while placing your order, to get started and to get a great end result.
Through our extensive years of experience we have built up a robust image gallery / portfolio where our clients can look through lots of virtually staged and architecturally rendered internal and external real estate photos / images.
BowBrownie take this a step further offering services Render3DQuick does not, for example correction of the proportions of a picture, fixing lighting issues on photos, etc.
As far as quality work goes, if your project hinges on photo editing or virtual staging then you might like to choose BoxBrownie. If you're looking for 3D rendering, animation or virtual tours then Render3DQuick could be your go-to.
Both brands offer good quality 3D renderings.
TURNAROUND TIME
According to customer feedback, a huge difference that exists between Render3DQuick and Boxbrownie lies in their turnaround time. The former has a fast turnaround compared to the latter - days compared to weeks.
Although the process of starting a project for both providers is quite simple, it takes Render3DQuick a shorter time to fulfill these orders. Clients who have previously worked with BoxBrownie have told us it can take 2-3 weeks to deliver on some orders. At Render3DQuick we deliver projects on average within 2 - 4 days.
In the real estate business time is a valuable asset. If you find this to be true in your area of specialty you may like to work with Render3DQuick.
THE QUOTATION / SIGN-UP PROCESS
The sign-up process for both platforms is relatively easy. With BoxBrownie, you can get a quote within 60 seconds, although in some market research we commissioned it took about four hours to get a quote (which is still good). They also require clients to provide information you may consider unnecessary such as your profession and industry before you can create a quote request. However, as a bonus they offer three free image enhancements upon sign-up.
Requesting a quote with Render3DQuick is easy. Information about your business is not required on the quote page of our website, just your name, email, phone and a brief project description. Once we receive your project specifications we’ll get back to you with a quote in 5 - 10 minutes.
Ideally for both brands you would provide room specifications (eg. room length and width), furniture specifications, floor plan needs (if any), and the image enhancement details you require for your virtually staged images so that they will appeal to potential buyers (if you're a real estate agent), stakeholders (if you are a developer) etc.
For BoxBrownie, images can be uploaded in several formats. One can upload photos as JPG, PNG, PSD, TIFF, DNG, or RAW files and this can be done via email transfer. For Render3DQuick we request plans via return email.
CUSTOMER SERVICE
As far as customer satisfaction goes, both have 24/7 customer service platforms. Box brownie has an email and a live chat box on their website to immediately attend to customer needs.
Render3DQuick on the other hand predominantly communicates through email (although we are happy to call you to) as we have found email is the most efficient way to manage projects for both us and our clients.
PRICES
Service price is another area of variation between Box brownie and Render3DQuick.
For BoxBrownie, services such as edits to real estate photography can be as little as a dollar or can become more expensive depending on the photos and image specifications required.
Box brownie pricing is cheaper compared to ours at Render3DQuick, however we have found that some real estate agents are happy to pay a bit more for their projects knowing they will have a fast turnaround time.
After requesting a quote on the Render3DQuick website, an email is sent to the client's registered email within a few minutes containing instructions on how to get a quote for your project.
Within 5 minutes of responding with your property plans and other project information, we will cost out the project and let you know the price so you can confirm if you'd like to proceed. This quoting service is done at no cost.
Boxbrownie reviews by customers indicate that the orders are structured according to the type of services rendered (virtual staging, color change, 360° editing services, 360° virtual tours, image enhancement, etc.)
Render3DQuick on the other hand will estimate the total cost by taking into consideration all the requirements of your project - each quote we give is completely custom based on things like the number of images, required turnaround time and the desired quality of the service.
SUBSCRIPTION
Neither company offers subscription plans on their website. You pay only for what you order. This allows you to test out our offerings without a long term commitment.
COPYRIGHT
Both companies do not make any claim on the copyright of your images. They simply edit the photo sent to them or render an image from scratch while releasing all copyright to you.
CUSTOMER SATISFACTION
A lot of things come into play when evaluating customer satisfaction for photo editing services, virtual staging services and archiviz services. These include the quality of the finished project, the turnaround time of the virtual staging process, customer service availability, and the delivery of the project to specification.
Both companies deliver a quality service and have excellent customer service as indicated by the hundreds of 5-star reviews both companies have, although as stated above some clients decide to use our services due to our fast turnaround times.
Summary
Render3DQuick and Box Brownie are both excellent providers of real estate photography services including virtual staging and 3D rendering.
If you intend to virtually stage your projects or the success of your projects hinges on virtual modeling, both companies are equally competitive.
While both companies will offer you a free quote in record time, Box Brownie offers three image enhancements and one day to dusk edit on sign-up.
Render3DQuick, however, has a competitive advantage with a faster turnaround time for virtually staged projects and all forms of architectural rendering.
