More Owner Occupied War Stories. This one has cost them $20K ...so far...

"To do List:

1. Poo poo stagers report on Mom's unit.

2. Have brother put in writing that I am a model home interior designer and that what I did on Mom's apartment is pure model home strategy. (ugh! What do stagers know about design anyway?)

3. Call realtor to drop the price $20K.

4. Call estate sale woman to reschedule house clearance. Realtor says it will take a while to sell Mom's apartment. Guess the market really stinks up there.

The lady in question did indeed have the brother send thru a letter in which it states that she'd heard that the mass of "eclectic paintings" caused one potential buyer to stay looking at the paintings for a long time. Since he might otherwise have been waiting for his wife in the lobby, his preoccupation with the artwork was perceived as a great boon for the realtor. How much of the rest of the apartment he either saw or remembered was undocumented.

Chuckle...chuckle...snort...

Thanks for sharing - it was amusing. Sorry you had to go through it.

The Stage Coach Home Staging

Just another day in paradise, Michael. No wonder staging is one of the most growingest field!! <grin> [Bad grammar intended!!]

It's funny, as I watched the first "video" I could see problems in each room! Too much furniture. Too much artwork. Too many books. Too many flowery things. Too many personal items. It's the type of staging that could be accomplished with just some time and effort, and not a lot of money. Far, far less than the $20,000 that is already "lost!" I feel your pain, I've seen it here.

Staging is NOT decorating! Decorating doesn't sell house, Staging Does!

I think they made excuses because they didn't want to do the work, and just didn't think it was necessary to make a sale. It would have cost them much less than $20,000 to hire a few people to complete the tasks. Hope you feel better now!

Oh for xxxxxxxxx sake!

Aren't you running into some real knuckleheads lately!!!

Their behaviour was so illogical and unreasonable, and bordering on very nasty, what can one say? They are nuts and you are sane, carry on!!!!!!!!!

Sharon's right, "for XXXXXXXX sake!" You can't help but laugh at the lack of reason some folks show. But seriously, you are a professional who knows what's she's doing - keep up the great work!
