Do you have any you like to visit?
My favorite is terriblerealestateagentphotos.
Uglyhousephotos. com is good too. It has some before and after shots that I like seeing.

It's mind boggling that someone paying an agent good money will put up with such crappy photos. On the other hand I can't believe how some people live if the photos are any indication. Especially when trying to sell a house!

I'll never forget the listing where the agent took a photo of the house with a cop talking to (presumably) the homeowner by the front door!

Several years ago, a neighbor was selling her house. Everyone said how beautiful the woodwork was. (house was built in the 1910s) When I looked at the listing online, there were only 2 photos: one showing the front of the house, and one just showing a non-original sliding window in an otherwise empty room.

On one of the websites there is a photo of a bedroom and to the right side you can see through the bathroom door and man sitting on the toilet. Don't people even preview those photos?

Sad. I hope it sold despite the photos.
I was very happy with the professional photographer my agent used when I listed my house this past June. The photos looked so good (photos shot in HDR) that I worried in person people would be disappointed.
Guess not since we had an offer and sold in 30 days.

HAHA. I've been looking a lot at real estate listings lately and I saw this one where all the pictures showed what a slovenly mess the current tenants are living in. It was absolutely, non-exaggeratedly DISGUSTING! There was even a yellow/brown discoloration on the pillow of the unmade bed, showing how nasty and greasy the tenant's hair must be.

I wasn't aware of those websites you posted up there. That ought to be good for some laughs! Thank you.

I had to take pictures of a house that has hoarders living in it. No way to get decent pictures of the inside, so I just used pictures of the outside.

It did eventually sell. I think she already knew (or was related to) the buyers, so the listing probably didn't help.

This is one of the worst I've seen.

Came out gorgeous after the remodel though.

Same house? Or tear-down?
