Gap between photo and real thing

※This image isn’t related to this article.





When choosing a shared house, there are 2 things you should check. We are going to introduce them one by one.
As for the 1st thing, a photo of a shared house.




A Photo of a Shared House

When watching a picture on the website, you think that there are many clean and tidy shared houses. There are many reasons. The 1st is a shared house is just fancy. The 2nd is a new built shared house. The 3rd is we can provide a nice picture because when a shared house opens, we take a picture.




Fail Story about a Photo

Even if a picture on the website is so nice, sometimes an actual shared house doesn’t look nice. When viewing a shared house, you think that it is a little bit different from a picture on the website. This is happened when viewing a normal apartment. This is gap between a photo and real one. The bigger gap is, the sadder you feel.

This is happened because as I explained above, when a shared house opened, we took a picture. When it has been time, it is degraded a little bit. In addition, a layout of furniture is changed and a resident put a personal stuff in a common place. When we took a picture, there is no furniture. Therefore, it is inevitable. Sometimes, we heard some stories below.

・When viewing a shared house, an underwear is hang up in a living room.
・When viewing a shared house, there is grease all over the kitchen.
・When viewing a shared house, there is a mold in a bathroom.

This is not happened in a shared house that a cleaning company comes to clean regularly and a managing company makes a rule. However, if a managing company does nothing at all, this kind of problem is happened. Therefore, it is important to choose a managing company when choosing a shared house. This is the 2nd thing you should check.




The Things You Should Know About Photos

We are going to summarize what we mentioned above.
Gap is happened when It has been a year since a shared house opened. If you have Instagram, you can understand it. For example, when you watch a nice photo on Instagram, then you go to there. However, actually it is not nice. This is same as a photo of a shared house.

Condition of a nice photo below
・Colorful wallpaper and furniture
・Nice small stuffs are put in many places.
・Space is large

However, we can say opposite thing. When a photo of a shared house is not nice, an actual shared house is nice rather than a photo.
Although it is the best that a photo and an actual one is same, it is not always happened. Therefore, when you go to view a shared house, please remember these things above.
