In recent years, the second-hand housing trade has cooled down, and a number of beautification consignment companies claiming to operate under the "overseas Home Staging model" have quietly emerged. "Beautification consignment" refers to the renovation of houses and the responsibility for selling the property. Homeowners choose these companies to quickly sell their homes. However, journalists have learned from multiple homeowners that some beautification consignment companies may hide consumer traps. They claim to sell houses quickly, charging homeowners high renovation fees and marketing agency service fees, but ultimately the houses do not get sold. (Times Weekly)
