Coming soon, to a show home near you…

Here’s an excerpt from a SMH article I had to share:

…One property company has begun hiring teams of actors to play “happy families” in its display homes.

Attractive film and stage actors are cast in the roles of cheerful-looking parents and their angelic children, recreating scenes of domestic bliss they hope will impress prospective buyers….

Now I can see this may well work in some places. It’s just a [big] step beyond renting furniture, I guess. I’m not sure if I’d be doing it, though. Although maybe it is win-win-win – the sellers get better “informed” buyers, the buyers get a good show and to see how the hosue really “performs” and the actors get a job.

Too good. [biggrin]

Any one want to try this at their next open home and report back how it works?
