The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Week 12

This week's Wall of Shame features some of the random things some agents take photos of while marketing their listings.  We see so many photos each week that have been posted to market a listing, yet have nothing to do with the house... we see close-ups of:  pets, leaves on trees (odd, but we see it more frequently than you'd think), decor (house plants, holiday decorations, etc), furniture, and even close-ups of boxes, clutter and garbage!   The Wall of Fame features some stunning real estate photographs we came across this week...nothing 'random' about those 🙂   

WALL OF SHAME

REALLY?! I almost thought this was a joke when I first saw it. Nothing says 'million dollar landscaping' like an enormous thumb! And is that a traffic cone on the right?? This shot was posted to market a $1,650,000 listing in California

REALLY?! I almost thought this was a joke when I first saw it. I mean, come on... Nothing says 'nice landscaping' like an enormous thumb?! And is that a traffic cone on the right?? This shot was posted to market a $1,650,000 listing in California

If you like the pumpkins, why not show how they look by showcasing the ENTIRE front porch? Unless the pumpkins are a great selling feature? No? This was posted to market a $169,900 listing in Colorado

Are pumpkins a great selling feature? No? Huh. Might be nicer to see the pumpkins as an accent to the front entry way...actually seeing the front entry way being the key of course. This was posted to market a $169,900 listing in Colorado

Ok, these rocks aren't even pretty...not sure why we're focusing on them...especially instead of the house? If it's a pond that comes with the house, great,but why not show the entire pond...would probably be prettier a close-up of rocks? This is marketing a $315,000 listing in Michigan

Ok, these rocks aren't even pretty...not sure why we're focusing on them...especially instead of the house? If it's a pond that comes with the house, great,but why not show the entire pond...would probably be more attractive to buyers than a close-up of rocks? This is marketing a $315,000 listing in Michigan
