Webcam Resolution for a 6% Commission

I don’t plan to regularly post these, but hey, you gotta post ‘em when you find ‘em. Next up in the lousy listing photos category is this little gem:

You guessed it. It’s the only photo provided in the MLS entry. I really feel sorry for these sellers.

I just purchased a new Canon Powershot 8 Megapixel digital camera so I could take better photos for my clients. So hopefully no other blog will be posting any of my photos anytime soon.

Lousy Listing Photos: One leg taller than the other?

The best (of the worst) MLS pics I have run into in a while!

Best of worst MLS picturesOkay, I really try to avoid making fun of others…Especially when I can produce tons of goofy things that make people laugh. But, to the right is probably the best example of what not to do with a listing picture that I have seen in a long time. Yes, this is the one and only picture provided of this home….

I tried to think of captions:

“Drink 10 beers and it looks GOOD!’

“My timepiece with radioactive glow-in-the-dark minute hands was too close to the digital camera.”

“This photo of a secret XXXXXX is protected by the Patriot Act. Address withheld.”

“Just squint and picture yourself in this lovely home.”

“If you think this is blurry, wait till we spill ink on your new home contract!”

“Pick your colors before you buy…we haven’t decided yet.”

“This home has so much frontage we called in a Russian satellite to take the photo for us!”

“A streaker headed to the football game ran in front of camera. No more film. Had to blur photo. So sorry.”

It is funny and sad, all in one! Groan.
