I showed a home on Thursday that said there was a friendly dog.  When we got to the house, we were greeted by two dogs barking loudly outside.  By the time we reached for the door handle, both dogs were inside, barking and jumping at the door.  The buyer said, “No way” and we left.

Here are three photos of quiet dogs in real estate promotional photos.  The first two are from Scottsdale, Arizona; the last one from Phoenix.

We might have a winner for Worst Bathroom Wallpaper of the Year.  Or at least Tackiest Wallpaper of the Year.  Tropical paradise, for sure.

One of the bedrooms is cheerful with its pink walls and green carpet.

Banana yellow kitchen with a strange layout.  The washing machine is in the kitchen next to the refrigerator.  The dishwasher opens to the outside of the kitchen, away from the sink.  Dirty carpet in the kitchen too.

In Arizona, you must be 18 years old to purchase property.  Somehow the sellers of these five homes think their target audience is 6 years old.  Let’s take a look.
