April 10th, 2008 “A Square Deal?” I think I see what the REALTOR® was trying to do here – to show off the tile/inlay in the foyer. But wouldn’t a better shot be from the front door, taking in the whole entryway with the stairs leading to the upper level? See all the usual suspectsContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #37”

April 9th, 2008 “All Washed Up” This was the only picture on the MLS® for this property. Flat light can be a problem on overcast days. You can fool around with the contrast to improve this, but your best bet is to re-shoot on a sunny day or just shoot more than one photo andContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #36”

April 8th, 2008 “Bedroom needs some, uh, finishing.” We’ve all had listings that needed some work, and struggled to even get the 9 pictures available to us on the MLS®. But don’t be afraid to leave rooms with plywood walls out. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Subscribe via e-mail, your favourite feedContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #35”

April 7th, 2008 “LORD STANLEY’S GRAIL!” This one, in honour of our beleaguered Vancouver Canucks. This, sadly, is as close as any Vancouver fan will get to a Stanley Cup this year: in a condo, in Victoria, made of tinfoil. 🙁 See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Subscribe via e-mail, your favourite feedContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #34”

April 6th, 2008 “Dark and Dreary” A few problems with this shot: There is too much clutter in the foreground (dolls, paperwork), etc. The lights are on, but the shot still looks dark because it’s shot towards a brighter light source (sunlight through the window). A better choice: shoot with the light behind you orContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #33”

April 5th, 2008 “Something’s wrong – I just can’t put my finger on it…” Oops! An easy mistake, but also easy to not post on MLS®, and hence, easy to not end up on this blog. How Zen.

April 4th, 2008 “I’m trying for that random, artsy style!” This picture is of no value to the buyer. See all the usual suspects here. –Tim Ayres Subscribe via e-mail, your favourite feed reader, or bookmark this post:

April 3rd, 2008 “Space-time continuum vortex not included” As a REALTOR® it’s my job to help my clients prepare their home for sale. This isn’t a horrible photo per se, but I would have recommended to the client to lose the kitschy lamp/art/whatever that is. Buyers will spend more time marveling at your different choiceContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #30”

April 2nd, 2008 “♫ Blinded by the light… ♫” Math lesson: (Glass door + flash) x [Closed] / [Laziness] = Horrible MLS® Photo = end up on my blog! What do potential sellers think, when browsing listings, they see a REALTOR® that is too lazy to even open the door before shooting? See all theContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #29”
