It’s time for another installment of Real Actual Listing Photos<\/a>. Once a month (or so) I round up some of the most bizarre listing photos from around the Seattle area and post them here, with brief excerpts from the real actual listing description, and probably a bit of snarky commentary.<\/p>\n

The idea for this series stems from the ongoing forum thread Detrimental Listing Photos<\/a>, which is where you should post your nominations for next month’s Real Actual Listing Photos post.<\/p>\n

No specific theme this month, just a collection of crazy listing photos I’ve seen in the last month.<\/p>\n

Enough explanation. Let’s get to the photos! Click the photo to view the Real Actual Listing.<\/p>\n

\"4501<\/a>“Exquisite 5.97 Acres overlooking Puget Sound, Vashon Island & Cascade mtns!”<\/p>\n

Previously featured on these pages for its “schizo price drops<\/a>,” the Northwest Baptist Seminary campus recently got another big $500k price drop along with a new listing agent who provided a brand new set of photos (below) that are considerably less worthy of a $6.4 million listing than the previous set (above).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"1301<\/a>“This grand lady offers 24\/7 doorman and valet service.”<\/p>\n

And potted plants! Did we mention the potted plants? Not enough space in the marketing remarks? Well, throw a picture in there, then!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"3106<\/a>“Beautiful landscaping, 2 patios for entertaining, hot tub, 2 car garage, shed for yard tools all bathed in full sun from morning to sunset.”<\/p>\n

…except of course when the sky is full of insanely-saturated HYPERCLOUDS. Needs to be viewed full size<\/a> to be fully appreciated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"1070<\/a>“…one floor condo, with new cozy carpet, gorgeous rock wall fireplace, super spacious living room…”<\/p>\n

Nothing says “I’m earning my three percent commission” like listing photos taken with a plastic toy camera<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"0<\/a>“Get in on the ground floor.”<\/p>\n

Okay so this one isn’t in the Seattle area, but seriously, this was just too rich to resist.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"1003<\/a>“Nice house! Walk to the Beech!!!”<\/p>\n

Also not in Seattle, but irresistible. $589,000 in Huntington Beach. Or should I say “Huntington Beech<\/em>.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Let me know<\/a> if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
