This morning I showed houses in the northwest suburbs including a badly staged house in Lake Zurich. Yes, the fake bread and cheese shown left greeted my buyers and I was we walked into the kitchen. Of course, there was also a bowl of small fake fruit on the counter.
I understand that not all sellers have great furniture or can afford interior decorating that has broad appeal. However, either the listing agent or a home stager deliberately added these cheesy looking (no pun intended) “accessories”. Whoever it was did their sellers a great disservice along with not convincing the sellers to remove some other items from the home that were very distracting.
The house would have shown much better vacant.
