Virtual staging is for lazy, cheap realtors.

It's a way to maximize their own commission profits. Stupid sellers will be convinced that its a "modern" way of selling houses.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I still don't know why people use realtors. It's like paying someone 5% on the private sale of your car.
I would pay 5% to have someone sell my car to the unwashed masses all day long

is the dent in the fridge even real? The Kitchen cabinetry sure looks out of place in that house, it's probably fake. Bet it was a rental and it's thrashed.

Would have been a decent domestic to cause that.

Maybe an unpopular opinion but virtual staging isn’t that bad imo. Much better than no staging at all. Of course real staging is ideal, but that shit is expensive and most sellers are cheap asses who are already paying realtor commissions and don’t want to add even more costs
I wonder if the fridge was purchased like that? Dented on delivery, so the original buyer returned it, and then was sold at a deep discount to the current owners.

There I'm a realtor, give me my license.
Is it though? ~$2k to move your house even a month sooner is typically offset in the reduced monthly carrying costsThis quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The fact that people are also dumb enough to pay more earlier for a house with some rented furniture is also funny.

I cant say for sure that staging helped my sale because i sold in march this year but to me it made a huge difference visually. I had a smallish family room so i was worried that adding furniture would make it feel even smaller but they picked the perfect pieces because visually the space felt bigger.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

Myself but it was the realtors referral, i just met with the stagers the morning of and went back that afternoon to lock up. He offered to take care of it but he gave me a very good deal on the com fees so i figured id do what i could. He did say i probably didnt have to stage because of the market but i did so anyways and have no regerts.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Closed on our townhouse today.
We had about 25 showings over 3 weeks and only one offer. Most of the feedback we got was that condo fee was too high ($509/month).
Final accepted amount was 15k less than we paid in 2015 so overall pretty happy with outcome especially with the market cooling off big time lately. It was a blessing in disguise that our tenants asked to leave a month early.
