If you like this series, treat yourself to a heaping helping of bizarre listing photos throughout the month, from all across the country at Looney Listing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

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

This month’s theme is door clich\u00e9s. As I flip through local listings, there are many common themes I come across in the composition of listing photos. This post focuses on a couple of overused door themes.<\/p>\n

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

\"819<\/a>“Ultra-luxe … Travertine lavish … Juliet balcny … D\u00e9cor espresso … Den watches Seattle.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The “looking through partially open double doors” shot seems to be especially popular on high-end listings. The same is apparently true for over-the-top listing descriptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9020<\/a>“All the spaces you need: 5 ensuites, 5.5 baths, bonus, family room, den, formal spaces, media, wine room, & grand Top-Chef kitchen.”<\/em><\/p>\n

While the “open door” shot is often a shot of the front door, sometimes it’s inside, to emphasize that this is a house fancy enough to have double doors on the inside.
P.S. – (“Ensuites” is what stuffy rich people call their bedrooms, apparently)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"3624<\/a>“Traditional sophistication is alive & well in this home. Magnificent, timeless design is felt throughout the house, creating endless options for new owners to make this classically built property a home.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Even fancier<\/span> more sophisticated<\/em>: double doors into your bathroom<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"6728<\/a>“This adorable charmer with street presence to spare features gas forced air, two bedrooms and a bath on each floor…”<\/em><\/p>\n

Get on the porch and shoot your photo at an angle of 45\u00b0 or less with the front door, and you’ve got the other common door clich\u00e9: “the front door angle shot.” Here’s a classic example.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"9112<\/a>“A truly magical little oasis, that is peaceful, private, sensible and accessible.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This is probably the most extreme example I’ve found. I guess the smaller your angle with the front door, the more edgy you are. Heh, “edgy.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"611<\/a>“Investment opportunity in primo location.”<\/em><\/p>\n

This listing proves that you don’t even really need to have a porch to pull off the front door angle shot. Just angle yourself up and go.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n

Let me know<\/a> if you have an idea for a future “Real Actual Listing Photos” theme, and be sure to check out Looney Listing<\/a> for listing photo amusement throughout the month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
