The Worst Picture of the Month Award

One of my pet peeves while viewing properties on the MLS is to find listings with NO picture or pictures that frankly are SO POOR in quality, that even a teenager with a cell phone would take a better shot.

So I am going to establish the "WORST PICTURE OF THE MONTH AWARD" - I invite your contributions! (please make sure no names or addresses are included in the file name or description).

Here is my pick for this month's award candidates:

It's only 116 x 76 pixels in size *you need a magnifyng glass to see it*, AND it's blurry!

I'm sure you will find other contenders in your MLS...

This is also one of my pet peeves. Listing should have good photos. If the agent can't take them, find someone who can.

I think you will have too much competition. I see so many that were taken from a car window while driving past at 5 mph. When they are bank-owned or HUD properties, no one seems to care much about taking a great picture. They might actually be able to move these properties with a decent picture, even if it is only from the outside.

This was a pic my old Realtor used on a property I flipped a few years ago. It was long before I became a Realtor and this pic helped me to remember to do a better job with my listings.
