PHOTO OF THE YEAR!

 

I just had to share this photo with my AR family. This is the main photo from an actual listing that was posted last week. I wonder what buyer pool this agent hopes to tap into!

Andrea Swiedler,  I'm not sure if I see the best stuff, or the worst stuff. Although I'm not sure anything can beat that listing you sent me!

They obviously want to double dip that listing!  HA!  Too funny.  I saw a photo in my local MLS this week that was bad . . . but this is even better bad!

 I agree with you, Dick Greenberg.   It frighten me to think there actually could be something worse out there!

Well, all I can think is that after THIS, it should be a bit of a safer neighborhood. And you can then go ahead and sell this same client the Brooklyn Bridge.

I guess that was as close as they could get to the front of the house. I'm sure it will sell in no time!

Endre Barath, you are a genius. Why didn't I think of that? And thank you for asking about my book. It is available on Amazon, so please at least take a peek at it.

Those buyers looking for a rock bottom bargain priced drug seizure home. I'd be interested in the house knowing it can now be had for an unbeatable price. I hope the agent's caption was something like "Incredible Value".

Cheryl Dukes, I love your caption. I think we should all think up some lines that could help that hapless agent. Perhaps "Smokin' Deal," or "Don't Bogart this House," or maybe even "What a Score!" Any others, friends?
