The work needed to be done is going to be very pricey on this. Only realtors getting ready to be obsolete would jump on the first poster like this. Any reasonable person knows these are expensive fixes. Wood paneling yo drive wall is so expensive. Just one example all those repairs are rediculous.

This. The treads in the real estate section are almost always realtors trying to sell a place or to support their own shills. For example the threads about escalation clauses last week or two. Hilarious. You will not get an honest answer in this section. There is always an agenda.


Yep. Same with the realtors here who claim your house won't sell without staging, so go ahead and pay them an extra 1% ($10k on a $1m house) to buy $3-5k of staging. So many shills from realtors getting ready to be obsolete.

Is this the place to add, please stop calling a den a bedroom. If you say 3BR and then one does not have a closet, it is a den. Also, it is actually listed as Deb on the layout.

Why is that necessary when people have been buying homes for decades without it?

Good catch! That's fraud to me.

I'm find with AI helping you to visualize how to set up the space, but they need a disclaimer AI was used, not actual flooring and wall color. Usually they include a photo with what you actually get. my biggest annoyance is when it's not to scale and they need to either do it to scale or give a disclaimer. We wasted time visiting a tiny townhouse where we did not pay enough attention to dimensions and the AI set up was pure illusion. That furniture would not fit!

I agree with this. In the case of this listing it is obvious which pictures are AI, but there are other listings out there where the AI-altered photos are less obvious to the average person (like ones where the yard is burned out but they make the grass green).

There was one listing in my neighborhood where they used AI to add a fence to the yard when no fence existed.

Just sick and tired of the bs. It's criminal.

Yeah…. I’m fine with AI furniture staging (half the time when I see the house in person the staging from the photos is gone anyways). But I don’t think it’s cool to have AI change the flooring to hardwood or change the paint colors. That’s deceptive.


100% that's just the flooring and it still needs two full bathrooms gutted, rooms drywalled, etc.

AI labeling should be clear and every listing should have actual real pictures of the house. Not AI, but I’ve noticed a lot of trickery using lenses to make spaces are much larger than they are. Tiny rooms look huge! To me that’s similar to using AI.
