October 19th, 2008 This beauty comes courtesy of reader Dara Sklar of RealtySupport.ca. As a provider of marketing services for REALTORS®, she has a hate-on for bad MLS photos as much as I do. This photo could have been improved by simply turning on some lights or using proper camera lighting. See all the usualContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #229”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #228
October 18th, 2008 A rare exterior shot on the Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day. My guess: The REALTOR® was too lazy to go and get his or her shoes from the front room and didn’t want to venture out on the wet deck to get a proper shot of the back yard. Too bad.Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #228”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #227
October 17th, 2008 This room is way to small to be shooting without a wide-angle lens. I’m also not sure why the right 1/8th of the frame is all white. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just use the form or linkContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #227”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #226
October 16th, 2008 I’m not sure what the point of this photo is. What value does it bring to a buyer? As the listings continue to pile up, make sure your photos truly showcase your listings! Half of what appears to be a door (but could be a window, who knows) doesn’t do this. I’dContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #226”
Keith Martin defeats Troy Desouza By 68 Votes… For Now…
UPDATE Oct 27, 2008: Keith Martin Keeps His Seat You know it’s close when all the news coverage is over and you are still unsure of a winner. That’s exactly what happened last night in Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, the federal electoral riding which covers from Port Renfrew to Sooke, into Langford, View Royal, Esquimalt, andContinue reading “Keith Martin defeats Troy Desouza By 68 Votes… For Now…”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #225
October 15th, 2008 This one suffers from a lack of a central focus that makes any sense. It would be better from more of an angle to take in more of the room and give it depth. I’ve been in this unit; it’s huge. This picture doesn’t do it justice. The couch or whatever inContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #225”
Get Ready For The Homeless in Beacon Hill Park [Video]
http://www.viddler.com/player/7b5dc2f6/ http://inplay.tubemogul.com/ipembed?v=1&site=23&uid=348304&vid=7b5dc2f6&key=7b5dc2f6 Today the Supreme Court of British Columbia handed down a ruling that declared that the City of Victoria’s bylaw against homeless tent cities in city parks was unconstitutional because it violates their Charter rights. This precedent setting ruling has some very interesting consequences for cities across the country, and it should be veryContinue reading “Get Ready For The Homeless in Beacon Hill Park [Video]”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #224
October 14th, 2008 Uh… Wow. A crooked shot, random composition and a flash reflection all in one picture! A trifecta!

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #223
October 13th, 2008 I posted a photo similar to this a few months ago. I wonder if it was the same REALTOR®?

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #222
October 12th, 2008 I seem to remember this being the only picture of the kitchen on the listing. Certainly doesn’t do it justice, as it’s all cut off. The only thing that’s entirely in the frame is that stand mixer, but I doubt it’s included. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – SookeContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #222”
