Bad MLS Photo of the Day #109
July 30th, 2007 Bad MLS Photo of the Day
If the photo of your house for sale…
…has 5 trucks in the driveway blocking out the view of the house…
… ya just might be a Redneck.

This one came from Mariana Wagner, who said;
“Here is a pic that I found while trying to run comps for a property we are about to list. Not only was this the MAIN pic, it was the ONLY pic. Have fun with it!”
Your bad photos are good here, please send me the horrible shots you find.
If you haven’t read and signed the comments for Reagent Manifesto: Improving Real Estate Photos please consider it.

“Guess-Idiots†at Zillow use outdated public records to formulate real estate valuations. They call those wild calculations - Zestimates. I thinks it’s best to use a trained professional appraiser.

People often react strongly to the bad photos I guess…

OK so what is the problem here? Sometimes a homes only redeeming feature is the abundant parking! Why knock it?
I bet that photo was taken in Black Forest…yes?

No … Even better … Manitou Springs. So, yes, abundant parking would be a nice “plus” … but But BUT there is still no excuse for not making even a half-hearted attempt to capture some of the charm that this home has.
…and I am still trying to make the connection between rednecks and Zillow… What did I miss?

? = Can’t … Make … Connection … Between … Rednecks … and … Zillow. ((What am I missing?? Did Jeff Foxworthy get a new job calculating home values that I was unaware of??))
There ARE areas where abundant parking is a nice “plus” but But BUT there is no excuse for not even making a half-hearted attempt at capturing some of its CHARM - and I know there was some.

I have no idea about the Zillow connection here Mariana. The comment just seems to be random anti-zillow rage. I kept the comment in just for the pleasure of the juxtaposition of the irrational venting comment and a post about stupidity.
I’m evil like that.

Evil isn’t as bad as people crack it up to be.
