Real Estate Photography Flaws

January 30th, 2013 · 2 Comments

It’s best not to show your reflection in real estate promotional photos.  And if you have time, please remove the items from the vanity and close the toilet seat lid.

You, too, sir.  Please stay out of the mirror’s reflection.

This poor photo requires too much energy from a buyer to figure out it’s a bathroom.

This is the only photo for this Tolleson, Arizona home.  The sellers don’t want buyers to see what it looks like on the outside or the inside.

January 29th, 2013 · 10 Comments

Amateur home design with window coverings is getting out of control.  Drapes on top of drapes on top of drapes.  And then an extra pink curtain on top for dramatic effect.

Same Surprise, Arizona home as above.  More drapes on top of drapes in the master bedroom.  If this is a design trend, make it stop.

A Call To Arms

December 27th, 2012 · 2 Comments

In real estate, they talk about arm’s length transactions.  Here are some arms.

Is this what they mean by no arm intended?

Her arm is pointing to the cluttered closet.

This lady’s arms are very soft, thanks to her water softener.

He’s got at least one good arm available to chop down that dead tree.

She used to throw up her arms in disbelief over her son’s hat collection.  Now she’s given up.

Her arm is hopefully reaching for that unfolded towel.  And the photographer’s arm is seen in the mirror!

Oh, good.  She removed the towel and washcloth.  But why did they include the previous photo?
