My buyer was really excited about seeing a local house. Under agent remarks (not viewable by the public) it reads: Photos have been digitally enhanced to better visualize the amazing possibilities!
The "photo's" on the MLS have been digitally altered with furniture, paint, lamps, carpet. wood trim and repairs. NONE OF WHICH have been done in real life. The listing agent is working with some digital home stager to create an appearance of what they think the home MIGHT look like if you were to spend the money.
Under the digitally altered photo's it says this: Digitally enhanced photo! Isn't it Amazing what your decorating talents can really do!
The listing agent and the digital stager or "virtual stager" both need to put down the sniffing glue and realize that their enhanced photo's are really just ILLUSIONS.
In person, the house looks like hell. The carpet is disgusting and the walls have dents, scrapes and broken mini-blinds. The kitchen sink had a rotten watermelon in it.
It's wiser to post actual photo's in my opinion. This home needs to be advertised as a rehab or "in need of extensive work." You shouldn't be trying to "paint" something better than it is. Nobody likes deception, smoke screens and charades when house hunting.
I might add that ALL 16 pictures on the MLS were altered. This left NO real pictures for the consumer. I can only imagine what the online profiles of these two professionals must read........
"Worlds most respected & sought after Realtor"
"As seen on the Phil Donahue Show"
"Can bench press 800 pounds while checking my email and making flyers."
