This is one of the worst staged homes we’ve seen in a long time. Surely no one would buy this home. It’s too sterile. Where are all of the dirty clothes? Why is the bed made? Where is the $5 marijuana leaf or Led Zeppelin blanket? Why aren’t bed sheets hung over the window? Where are the clumps of dust on the ceiling fan blades?
In the living room, first impressions matter. Where are the kids’ toys? An ashtray? A cat or dog or both?
Where’s the rest of the furniture? Who needs that much room to walk around? Why is the hallway cleared out?
The family room’s no better. There’s plenty of space around the fireplace for many more personal items. Where are the dozens of family photos that really personalize a home?
No dog bed or cat tower?! No newspapers or magazines or empty food containers lying around? No carpet stains?! No thank you. Who can imagine themselves living in a place like this?
Just kidding. April Fools!

You forgot to mention the dead body under the bed. Other than that, yeah, it’s perfect.

Tragically, even the backyard, visible in photo Number One, is lacking character in the form of a broken swing set, vicious dogs on a chain or a car on cinder blocks. This house will undoubtedly sell quickly. Where’s the fun in THAT?
Thanks for a nice break and for an example of how things can and should look.

Needs drapes and/or curtains, just sayin’.

Yes, it’s staged to the 9’s. But I hate how the wide angle lens distorts the pics, giving the false impression that the room is twice the size it really is. See the doors in the first 2 pics.

Lol!
The photos look altered somewhat. Like a fisheye lense but it’s square. I’m just seeing too much of the room for a normal camera shot. What are they using???

I’m thoroughly appalled at the utter lack of faux stonework and layered wallpaper, but my real disappointment is that there’s no pot rack.

Hold on Kimberly, we haven’t seen the kitchen yet.

I wonder if some of the furniture is computer generated?
The shadows seen weird and some of the stuff looks like it is floating above the floor.
They have blanked some of the windows or blurred out the stuff outside.
Bad panorama stitching, or none of the walls is at a 90 degree angle. (Fun house mirrors) The aspect ratio of the overall photo seems wacky.
OR
The house is for VERY large people, as the doors are 5 feet wide

“Why is the hallway cleared out?” Ha ha ha.

There’s no color except brown! To me, it looks drab, lifeless, dowdy. I wouldn’t want a house like that. Give me some color! I do love the neat, clean look, but some color, even white or ivory, is needed to brighten up the dingy decor. How about white flowers? Anything! There is not a hint of femininity there. It’s all rugged and manly. I’m a very girly girl and not ashamed of it, so I would add white flowers somewhere subtle in the living room, and perhaps black and white photos of cities on the walls, have white or black furniture with bright cushions. Sorry if I offended anyone. I didn’t intend to.
