Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #210

September 30th, 2008 At least the REALTOR® had the sense to hide behind the wall and just stick the camera around, thus avoiding embarrassment like some other agents by appearing in their own photos.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209

September 29th, 2008 Again I’d like to point out my desire to smack the people at the digital camera manufacturers who decided that the “date stamp” setting should be set to “on” when the cameras are shipped. Most people don’t bother to learn how to turn it off, and it looks awful. It’s also redundant;Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #209”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #208

September 28th, 2008 It kind of looks like the REALTOR® was hiding behind that stone wall in order to surprise somebody in the other room. Just a couple of steps to the right would have helped things immensely.

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #207

September 27th, 2008 Today’s efficient floor plans and compact home design can really make a REALTOR®’s job difficult when it comes to presenting a home in photos. Half of this kitchen has been cut off because of the type of camera the agent is using (likely a point-and-shoot zoom model). Using a wide angle lens,Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #207”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #206

September 26th, 2008 I think the REALTOR® here has tried to capture too much in one photo. At any rate, it’s poorly composed and looks awkward.

Is The Election Campaign All About Branding and Buzzwords? [Video]

As a REALTOR®, I’m always taking notice of how other businesses market and brand themselves. I get inspiration for ideas from other people and businesses all the time. One thing I’ve noticed is that politicians in our current Federal election campaign have been all about branding and marketing their campaigns, rather than telling us whatContinue reading “Is The Election Campaign All About Branding and Buzzwords?

Bell’s -er Campaign Might Be Confusing, But At Least It’s Grammatically Correct

Since I wrote about Bell’s confusing -er infused advertising campaign, it’s become one of the most searched-for, read, and commented-on posts I’ve ever done. I guess I wasn’t alone in my confusion or annoyance with that campaign. I have to wonder, however, if the same outfit that drummed up that campaign is involved with USContinue reading “Bell’s -er Campaign Might Be Confusing, But At Least It’s Grammatically Correct”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #204

September 24th, 2008 Just a few feet to the left would have made this a pretty nice photo, showing attention to detail in the finishing of the banister, and how the traffic flow would work in this home.
