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 checkContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #104”

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?! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Your comments areContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #103”

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. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Your comments are welcomed and encouraged. Just use the reply formContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #102”

June 13th, 2008 “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!

#100! A milestone in bad MLS® photography! June 12th, 2008 “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! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Your comments are welcomed and encouraged.

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 meContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #99”

June 10th, 2008 “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 onlyContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #98”

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.

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.Continue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #96”

June 7th, 2008 “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! See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Your comments are welcomed andContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #95”
