November 15th, 2008 Is this what real estate jail looks like? I’d like to think that this agent’s camera accidentally went off as he or she climbed the stairs of this house and it somehow made it on to the MLS. It’s also badly compressed/pixelated. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – SookeContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #256”

BC Government Funds Sooke Spirit Square at Ed MacGregor Park
As I was driving home from Victoria this afternoon I passed by Ed MacGregor Park as I usually do, and noticed another large BC Government “we done spent some money here, looky!” sign. I thought at first it was the sign announcing their funding of the waterfront boardwalk from earlier this year, but as IContinue reading “BC Government Funds Sooke Spirit Square at Ed MacGregor Park”

Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #255
November 14th, 2008 What, was the power out when they shot these photos? Not only does this photo violate my cardinal rule of shooting bathrooms sans wide-angle lens, but you can hardly see anything! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! Just useContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #255”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #254
November 13th, 2008 There’s not really a whole lot of use for a photo like this. It is also badly compressed, but that might just be the fault of this real estate board’s MLS system. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments are welcomed and encouraged! JustContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #254”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #253
November 12th, 2008 Effort, people! How much extra effort would it have taken the REALTOR® who took this picture to turn off the TV and computer monitor, move the TV tray-table, rolled up carpet, dumbbells, and shoo the cat away? Not much, but it would have improved this picture immensely! See all the usual suspectsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #253”

Please take a moment today to sit and think about the way the world could have been without our brave men and women who fought for our freedom and that ofContinue reading “Remembrance Day”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #252
November 11th, 2008 It’s great that the fan works. The REALTOR® has proven that with this motion-blurred shot. But what does the room look like? It’s all about context. This picture doesn’t tell the buyer anything about the listing. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres – Sooke Real Estate Professional Your comments areContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #252”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #249, #250 and #251
Triple Feature! Something went screwy with the scheduled posts function on my blog this weekend, and Saturday and Sunday’s photos disappeared. I was without internet access this weekend and was unaware that the problem existed until this morning. November 8th, 2008 It’s great that the REALTOR® turned on the lamp, but unfortunately it’s become theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #249, #250 and #251”
Think Realtor.ca Sucks? It Will Get Better Soon
Since the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA) replaced the much-loved MLS.ca with the (so far) much-maligned REALTOR.ca last month, they’ve had nothing but complaints from everyone who uses it (consumers) and everyone who benefits from it (REALTORS® in Canada). I can understand the domain name switch. Since its inception, MLS.ca has never been all thatContinue reading “Think Realtor.ca Sucks? It Will Get Better Soon”
