I just stumbled upon a rather funny blog which features a 'Bad MLS photo of the day' every day (naturally).
I know property photos are always being hotly debated here on activerain so I thought I'd post you the link if you hadn't seen this site before....

You may all know it already, but I certainly hadn't seen it before today so there you are!
I love the blog because the pics are funny, but what they represent is actually far more tragic. Joe Public doesn't expect to see virtual tours on every real estate website he visits, but if it looks like an agent hasn't even bothered to turn on the flash, then what does it say about the agent?
From my own experiences in looking for properties, so much has been based upon those pictures. As far as I was concerned as a buyer, one photo of the outside of a property was never enough to stimulate my interest. And anyway, if the agent has bothered to take a camera to the property, why not go inside and take some snaps too? Or is there something to hide?
I'm not saying anything new here, everybody knows the shortcomings of MLS photos. So until the industry sorts it out, lets all have a giggle at those agents who don't put so much thought in to their camerawork...
Here is one of the pics I stole from the blog to get you started:
As always, have a gorgeous day. :-)
