Be a Doll and Buy This House

This week’s item comes from http://hookedonhouses.net/

Realtors who work resale face a challenge that we don’t have in the new home industry.  They have to show a home that has already been lived in by someone else.  Realtors have to convince their clients that they can make the house their own; to look past the previous owner’s decorating choices and styles and not feel they are restricted to them.  To reach a broad spectrum of clients, a realtors will highlight the universal features of the houses rather than the personal little quirks.

Or not.

If you saw this actual real estate photo and your first reaction was GHAAA!!! then congrats on being a normal person.  Okay, okay, the doll is a little creepy but if I guess if that’s what the fireplace looks like then…

Uh… ok, that is a LOT creepy.  Why would a doll in a bathtub incentivize anybody to buy the house?

Oh, okay. Now it’s on the sink.  That’s not really any better.  Why do I get the feeling that if you were to buy this house, then the doll would…

never…

leave…

you…   

alone.
