There's No Place Like (Someone Else's) Home - WSJ.com

Ms. Clavin, and her furniture, beat out 46 applicants who auditioned for the homeowner role, says Quality First's owner, Mary Heineke. "I already know they can't afford the house," Ms. Heineke says. "I want to know if they can replicate a person who can afford that house."

I am aware of one such " live-in" stager, in my area.

That is a TRIP!

Makes me think of the new Indiana Jones and Kingdom of the Crystal Skull movie...

(Indy happens upon a 50's style neighborhood in the middle of the desert..the neighborhood is full of mannequins!...the mannequins are placed in all the homes and in the streets walking and riding bikes...then all of a sudden Indy hears an atomic siren go off ...)
