While I would rather stress the positive aspects of preparing a home for market a jaring photo like this once in while does make a point. My listing agent in a rush to get our listing signed “to not miss the market” convinced us to put our home on the market before we finished the painting, floor refinishing etc. We never recovered from that and it took us months to sell.

Wow…can’t believe someone left the shower in that condition. What a way to turn-off buyers.

I have a collection of these photos that I use at the end of my staging class – kind of for a little comic releif. I call them staging boo-boos and the best part of showing the boo boo section is for the sound effects that the students (all real estate professionals) make. We should compare photos – I have to say the hair one is a definite “eeeeuuuwww”

Fran,

Some people just don’t get it.

The flip side to this is, properly priced, properly staged, and properly clean will sell in any market. I just sold a listing in one week with 3 offers, two at full list price. What a great feeling to have a backup contract in todays market. Wake up sellers!
