What were they thinking? A bad photo is worse than no photo at all.

OUCH, that is painful to look at. $2.25 MILLION? Really? I agree with Karen...I would be easy to look good verses that kind of competition.

My 2 year old could take better pictures then that agent can. Wow, I am not too surprised.

Maybe 2 1/4 large just doesn't get much there...

I had an acquaintance that specialized in VERY high end property tell me that about 3% of his buyers even noticed the listing on the internet. But, I would still want to make it a knock out. It doesn't cost that much more if the rest of the marketing is appropriate.

Do you think that the owners have seen these photos? I think that the level of care and expertise that is put into any marketing presentation is an indicator of how good the agent is in his/her overall concern for the client and the transaction. I wouldn't want this realtor to be marketing my own home.

How about using spell checker, or having someone read the copy first??? PS I haven't seen the inside of the house, but have seen the outside, and there is nothing that is compelling me to preview it!

Yes, I agree some agents just do not get it. Photo with garbage in the front yard, the screen door on the front of the house half hanging off; are just two of the great ones I have seen recently. Or the realy lazy one who has a new listing in July that uses a pciture with snow in the yard; because taht was the last the MLS had on file from the last it sold 8 years ago.

I would not even look at that house if I were to see it on the MLS system.
