[More] Bad Charleston MLS pictures
Jay Thompson, ThePhoenixRealEstateGuy has been ranting about MLS pictures the past few days and I really ought to write about bad Charleston MLS pictures more often because it's always very popular with readers so here goes.
Let's talk about toilets.
It didn't take too long to go through today's Charleston MLS hotsheet of all new listings, homes under contract, sold, withdrawn or expired to find several great examples of bad MLS photos featuring toilets.
From the number of pictures that agents take of toilets, you might even think that indoor plumbing is some kind of new idea. Most homes today actually have toilets although I've seen several foreclosures where that all important piece of plumbing seems to be missing but considering the low price of a foreclosed home and how inexpensive it is to buy a new "throne" at Lowes, it doesn't seem all that important to feature a picture of the toilet when entering a listing into the MLS.
But please put the seat and lid down.
Now the bathroom on the left could possibly use a more neutral paint and of course, on the right, there isn't much more that can be said other than a picture is worth a thousand words starting with "buy me".
Speaking of "buy me", I couldn't help but laugh when I noticed this picture of the front yard of a home that has been sitting unsold on the market since last fall. The agent suggested in the caption that "a little yard mowing and some weed eater and this yard will come right back".
Sure.
And how does it look now as we approach summer (pic cropped to anonymize to protect the innocent and guilty).
