As staging consultants I am sure you got to see lots of weird things. I did. And met fantastic people too.
Last week I did a staging consultation to a beautiful townthouse in Markham, which is a suburb of Toronto. While I just found the usual on the main and second floor, the basement was another story: an oversized glass cage with 2 CROCODILES. Although the glass structure was something that a ZOO can take some inspiration from, I don't think the crocodiles can help in any way with the selling of the house.
In fact the property was on the market for quite a bit, with no much interest, this is why I was brought in.
After some negotiations, the owner agreed to remove the cage and put the crocodiles in a pet hotel while the house is on the market.
I am just curious: what are some of the extravagant things you found over the years in your clients' properties?
