Will Fake Fruit Sell YOUR Home?

Thursday, October 11th, 2007

appleI went to a company meeting recently but got there a little bit late. Good presentation, national speaker.  He’s all about home price but he kept mentioning “fake fruit.”

Huh?

The next morning I read a post from a California stager about fake fruit.  I loved the fact that Cindy Lin kept putting “Fake Food ” warnings in the post I read on ActiveRain that lead me to her real site. Staged 4 More- “Fake Fruit”   Cindy is writing about amatuerish vs. professional staging but all I am able to think about is fake fruit.

Builders stage homes in Central Ohio.  Some existing homes in Central Ohio are staged, but it is more DIY or Realtors® who have taken a staging course  or homeowners with talent.  Or all of the above without talent.

Warning I don’t think that apple pictured above is fake. If it takes too loooooong for your home to sell it will shrink, wither and rot.

I have to tell you a secret. Do you promise not to tell?  I grew up in a house with no fake fruit.  A fake fruit free home.  My neighbors on either side had a little girl my same age. Both homes had fake fruit as part of their day to day decor not in any effort to sell either  home… I was probably 5 or 6 when I was at the Wirkuty’s house next door and I bit into a wax pear.  I remember what it tasted like… Yuck!  Sorry neighbors.
