Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #104

June 16th, 2008

It’s neat that the place has steel beams like a high school gymnasium, but what are we looking at and how is it going to entice a buyer to give you a call? Try and tell a story with your pictures! Not as good as yesterday’s photo though, be sure to check it [...]

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #103

June 15th, 2008

“Bark at the Moon!”
I really should have saved this for a Monday post, as it gets the most views. I guess I’ll link it tomorrow
But seriously, wow, what? The moon is a feature of the place you’re selling?!

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #102

June 14th, 2008

This REALTOR® has apparently been blinded by the glare of the flash off the shiny stainless appliances, causing him or her to stumble backwards and capture an off-level shot. It’s the only explanation.

“Friday The 13th Bad Luck”
All the rest of the shots on this listing were great. This random shot of a couple of chairs on part of a verandah got in there somehow!

“I’ve now got the blues.”

I’m not here to judge colour schemes or decorating ideas. I just don’t know exactly what the hell I’m looking at here!

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #99

June 11th, 2008

Second bad bathroom shot of the week! I should create a whole other category. This one stuck out because I actually had to look a few times at the photo to figure out what was going on. The left hand side of the photo is a shiny wall covering, which threw me off, [...]

“Pot of Gold?”
Regular readers of this blog will know how I feel about tight shots of plumbing fixtures, appliances, or ceiling fans. They don’t belong because they tell the buyer NOTHING about your listing! This is the worst yet – actually including a shiny pot set in the shot? Not only are they [...]

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #97

June 9th, 2008

A poorly-composed shot of the bathroom. I can’t stress enough that you need a wide-angle lens to properly shoot small rooms.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #96

June 8th, 2008

“‘Cute’ Kitchen”
This straight-on shot of the galley-style kitchen makes it look very small, and the focal point is that blank wall. Some art on the wall to give this shot some life would help, but as a general rule, I think that galley-style kitchens look better when shot at an angle.

“Indoor Toilet Too!”
Plumbing fixtures are NOT a selling feature unless, perhaps, if you’re selling a medieval castle circa 1583. Time travel aside, this isn’t even a good picture of the sink and the faucet is kind of ordinary!
