[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Staging grew big just as the housing market went online and realtors' role in finding buyers evaporated. Coincidence? [/quote]

Not a coincidence at all - pictures play a huge role in selling[/quote]

Exactly what role DO agents play? Because they can’t even bother to work their own open houses.  They send warm bodies with no knowledge of the property at all who don’t bother to make people sign in and let any random person wander through your house. [/quote]

It is a protectionist guild.  But necessary, unfortunately [/quote]

What is necessary? That they want their big, fat commission checks but can’t be bothered to work for it?

Our landlords just did an open house and despite promising us it would only be realtors with clients, it was public and the agent sent “friends” to “work” and they let everyone on who came to the door and said it was “so great” to have nosy neighbors walk through every corner of our private living space.  Zero respect for people and their lives. It’s all about getting their check. [/quote]

They want you to think texting their contractors to stop by your house, and reminding you to declutter, are worth tens of thousands of dollars. Oh, and mentioning the latest paint color they read about on some blog, so you can tell their contractor when they stop by for the estimate. Staging is just the latest scam, where they convince you your furniture isn't good enough. Maybe some furniture, like the old bachelor's above, needs to be substituted, but even then it's not clear that's still necessary after a good decluttering and painting the walls (yourself or with your neighbor's favorite painter, because there's no guarantee the agent's painter is even any good).[/quote]

Ideally someone does this before bring in a realtor/selling.[/quote]
