Detrimental Listing Photos

BillE · May 2010

That's a listing for new construction. Hard to use an actual photo when the house isn't built yet.

It depends how creative you are... Is it real?

Not actually a listing photo, but when I drove by I couldn't resist taking a quick snapshot.

Nothing says "welcome to your new home" like a bunch of bright orange cones and caution tape.

I think they just repaved the front end of their driveway and the sidewalk in front of it. Seems like the kind of thing you would do before you put the house on the market.

Listing is here: 18801 73rd Ave NE Kenmore, WA 98028

I still think they missed out by not adding the moat... be the turret turned out sotra sweet... but would you pay $685k for it?

Neighbors need to buy trebuchets.

Ooooh, they added the small top windows to pour boiling oil out of. Color me impressed.

These are all of the photos for the listing:

Attempting to flip for 2x the price paid just two months ago, and they couldn't even be bothered to move the car or ask the contractor to pack up for a few minutes (or even stop climbing on his truck) for the photo.

This isn't a bad photo, but it's the only photo for the listing.

"Level lot with carport and RV parking. Don't miss out!!"

RV Parking = yard covered in gravel

Well hey, it's got a leg up on the one I posted just before that, at least. :P

Oh give him a break. He spends a lot of his time posting on this site. Without him, where would all of the fluff come from?

Couldn't be bothered to turn the TV off and leave the room. Of course, it is a short sale at less than 60% the Aug. 2007 sale price.

The photos for this listing aren't too bad, but the description is worth mentioning.
"Fabulous 4 Bedroom, Bright & Open 2 Story Home! Features an Entry Room. Open & Spacious Kitchen with Eating Space. Laminate Flooring. Large Master Bedroom with Walking Closet. Adjacent Living & Dining Room. Fantastic Deck, Fully Fenced Backyard. Close Aces to I-5. Shops & Schools. Conveniently Located. Must See Home!"

The walking closet and close aces to I-5 sound pretty cool.

So, another Not Actually A Detrimental Photos... But this gem of a write up needed to be mentioned...

"Nice house."

BillE · July 2010

Well, who doesn't want a "nice house?"
That's two more words than I've seen in some listings.

BillE · July 2010

A lot of the pictures posted here wouldn't look so bad if the agents would just take the photos in the dark. . . like this one.

This pic would look better if they'd continued that trend and shut the lights off inside.

Great listing for a $1M+ property...

"Too much to list - see pictures! "

Which would be nice if there were any.

BillE · August 2010

This one just seems weird. I feel like the camera man was wearing camo and peeking over the bushes to get the shot.

From the listing, "This 2-story home has everything."
I don't think that's totally accurate.

Dude, it has a huge gap in the countertop. How many houses do you know that have that, huh? Those other houses are the one that don't have everything.
