Another listing with a LOT going on…

January 21, 2012 by Barry Bevis

Let me start by saying this is a great house. I love the neighborhood and think it is priced well. I was looking at it for some clients and this photo got my attention:

I could not figure out why the Realtor posted this one...

I started looking closer and found:

Is this the owner sitting at the table?

And then the dog showed up:

Asleep on the floor...

 

I can still see him ;-)

 

He almost made it out of this photo!

Again great home with lots of fantastic photo opportunities…

I think this listing missed the mark.

This is one of the best I have seen in a long time…

January 10, 2012 by Barry Bevis

This listing has one of the best collections of Bad MLS material I have seen in a long time. Some of it is standard MLS fare but there are things I’ve never seen before! All of these photos are from one listing… Yes one listing.

We start with a leaning door....

We get a very Grainy view of the bedroom...

Then we enter the fuzzy kitchen...

We get to see the pantry- a big selling feature.

This is a first... Dinner is thawing in the sink!!

Then the ultimate... Owner and Dog in the living room shot. Never before have I seen pet and owner in one photo.

All I can say is WOW….

Starting 2012 off with more Bad MLS Photos!

January 2, 2012 by Barry Bevis

Prepping for showings today and these jumped off the screen…

There is a BUG in the driveway... Punch Buggy!

To the left, To the left, To the left

 

To heck with Shadow Inventory... I'm worried about Shadow agents ;-)

 

I'm looking at the man in the mirror....

 

This one took the prize. I have no idea how the puppy got up there!

They took a photography class…

October 4, 2011 by Barry Bevis

The instructor told them to get a fisheye lens so they could capture the entire room in one shot…

Love the dark corners- Reminds me of a Polaroid! The curved brick fireplace is just a bonus.

The drywall guy worked hard to get this look...

The tunnel Bathroom.

Check out the shutter!

Check out the shutter...

New equipment is fun, but learn to use it before you post on the MLS.

Bad in Print

October 1, 2011 by Barry Bevis

I almost didn’t publish this one but I have to…
Here is the cover of the current Tallahassee Homes and Land Magazine.

I

I've cropped out the agents name in info...

Check out the old for sale signs piled up next to the house. I can understand if this was a quick photo for the MLS and you cropped it or changed it out later... But this is the cover of a monthly real estate magazine! I've paid my photographer to photoshop out negative elements in photos before posting them to the MLS... This one was going to print!

Why??

September 14, 2011 by Barry Bevis

We are limited to 25 photos to promote a property on the MLS.  Why would any agent upload these???

I'll give you that the bird's nest is cute... But really?

This is the random junk room...

Hollywood style and a drawer!

I love the storage... But, couldn't you put the stuff in the cabinets?

Oops…

September 12, 2011 by Barry Bevis

This one made me chuckle! Two Homes listed by the Same agent, Owned by the Same Flipper, Who installed the Same Cabinets, Same Stove… and the agent photographed his notebook in both kitchens

Its almost unnoticeable here...

You get a better look here at the Tools of the trade- Lockbox, tape measure, phone and notebook.

 

At lease he used different door hardware ;-)

The Classics never get old…

September 10, 2011 by Barry Bevis

These are classics that keep appearing in the MLS. They remind me of old rerun sitcoms. I keep looking and laughing……

The Man in the Mirror... Hi Mr.Agent!

 

WOOF!!! $400K house and the dog made the listing photos!

And there there is good ole Sideways Photo... it's just too much effort to rotate an image before you upload it to the MLS.

This listing has is all…

July 20, 2011 by Barry Bevis

If your into Beer, Football, and Cats then this is the house for you!

I'm sure it took a lot to get the cat to pose like that...

Heck, This photo is so awesome we should show you another angle... And the cat moved!

Creepy MLS photos

July 10, 2011 by Barry Bevis

This one caught me off guard.

Look close and you will see her....

I showed this house last week and met the owner, a very nice woman. But, her reflection in the photo is distracting. The home is a stunning contemporary designed by an architect from her family in the 1960s Truly a one of a kind home. It is a shame the photos do not do it justice!
