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”

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”
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”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #248
November 7th, 2008 This room is pretty small, so it’s hard to take a photo of it without a wide-angle lens. It’s a family home, so there is bound to be a few kids’ toys hanging around, and they’re rather organized in this shot. The blind should be open, though, to let in some naturalContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #248”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #247
November 6th, 2008 I know, could be a lot worse. But when you shoot the exterior of a house, try and get your clients to move the car out of the way. Another thing that helps is to zoom out or use a wide-angle lens so you can stand closer to the house and notContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #247”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #245 & #246
November 4th, 2008 This photo wouldn’t have been so bad if the REALTOR® had turned on some lights, and improved the composition a little. That chair in the front/centre of the frame is kind of in the way. A few degrees to the right and this one would have been OK. Take a moment orContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #245 & #246”
Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #244
November 3rd, 2008 At first I couldn’t remember why I saved this picture while browsing the MLS last week. It’s actually pretty nice, compositionally. The whole room is captured, it’s also well lit and exposed. But then I put the caption box around it (click through to the post if you’re viewing this via e-mailContinue reading “Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day #244”
