House for Sale: 5 Bedrooms, 2 Bathrooms, 1 Rollercoaster

Leave a reply

Realtors — and television shows about real estate — are fond of telling would-be home sellers that effective “staging” of a house can significantly assist in selling your home and getting the highest offer. Staging a home typically involves cleaning up the property, redecorating with rented furniture and possibly repainting a room or two.

One Dutch company specializing in real estate promotion has taken the concept of staging to a new level. In order to get some local buzz on a house — they added a roller coaster to take potential purchasers through the house.

I do want to confirm that this is not a house that I am brokering although I would love to tour more houses via roller coaster! What about you?
