Bad Parking

Parking on the front yard is a code violation in some cities.  It’s a sell-your-house violation too.

Three Ugly Back Yards

April 14th, 2010 · 6 Comments

Maybe it’s the recession that’s affected the psyche of some home sellers.  A feeling of “we don’t care.”  In a down real estate market, you have to push aside depression and put on a happy face.  Buyers will react to the vibe given by sellers.

Let’s look at three ugly, depressing back yards.  Will they impress buyers?

Different stages of a home’s life from 2006, 2008, & 2009.

Parking on the front yard in 2008 when trying to sell the house.  Unsuccessfully.  Wonder why.

You’d comb your hair before getting your school photo taken, so why not move the cars & trailer off the front lawn for the real estate photo?

Pull Up To the Bumper, Baby

September 28th, 2009 · 1 Comment

Two fans of Grace Jones’ song “Pull Up To the Bumper.”  In the first photo, a flat tire is preventing the car from moving.  If the seller can’t fix a flat, what repairs are they neglecting at their house?

Near identical photo.  At least this car has inflated tires, but now there’s no excuse why it’s in the photo.  To help disguise the ugly tree?

It was physically impossible to move 20 feet to the right and take a better photo of the house.  It just was.  And don’t even ask to have the cars moved first.
