Ugly House Photos

It’s either a den, an enclosed patio, a sunroom, or whatever.  It’s cluttered with lights, hats, and personal stuff.

Same home.
You’re supposed to roll out the carpet for guests, not roll up the carpet.  The rest of the patio looks great.

What a depressing back of the house.  Wires and pipes going all over like spaghetti.  No patio cover to block out the hot Arizona sun.

They added a patio cover to the side of the house.  However, notice that the wood posts are placed directly in dirt and connect directly to the house.  This is like putting out the red carpet for termites.  Earth-to-wood contact is what termite inspectors call this.

A Piglet mural plus outdated parquet flooring in the bedroom.  Oh, Pooh.  We were hoping the inside was better than the outside.

Can of bug spray in the foreground of the real estate photo.  Cigarettes on the side.  Springfield, Missouri home.

Yep, it’s bug spray all right.  Thank you for leaving it in the photo.

If you are trying to get a date, would you send a photo of yourself when you first woke up or after you were ready for the day?  It’s all about first impressions, not promises.

The caption for this photo reads:  “All debris will be picked up and cleaned by this week.”  So why not just wait ’til it’s all picked up first and then take the photo?

Let’s say you get a date.  Would you clean out your car first or tell your date you’ll clean it out later?
There’s more debris in the kitchen than in the back yard.

Another home needing staging advice and assistance.

Christmas decorations (lights, candy canes) still up in May.  Half dirt, half grass lawn.  Weight bench in the front yard.

Christmas tree is up.  Lots of family photos.  Cutesy sayings (”I Love You 2 Gore”??) (”Love Always & Forever”).  If they cleared everything out but the furniture, this would be a very nice room (nice floor, nice paint, nice size).

In case they get lost, the signage tells them the next room is the family room.  [Editor: I blocked out their name.]

Very dark family room.

They painted the walls with black paint.

When buyers see the clothes rack, they will assume the closets are too small.  Cluttered dresser doesn’t help.

There’s a big tree in the child’s room.

One of those glass vessel sinks.  But you can see all the plumbing underneath.

They enclosed the patio so that they could fill it with clutter.

More junk from another angle.

Messy back yard.

Stop by this home for sale and buy your prepaid phone cards too!  It’s a clever marketing gimmick, dontcha think?

Lots going on in the office.  Better to remove everything above 30″ from the floor.

This is the master bedroom, believe it or not.  They traded in their bed for a pink bicycle.

The caption for this photo of an enclosed patio states, “Overlooks the beautiful back yard.”  We’ll have to take their word for it.  All we see is a boring wall.

What is the definition of a covered patio?  A shaded area?  So does nailing a sheet of plywood to the roof and adding two posts qualify as a covered patio?

Poor Teddy had a rough night of drinking.  He passed out on the patio and peed himself.
