Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - 2008-03-04 05:48:42 If all there is is a garage, wouldn’t it make sense to move the truck out into it. At least shoot around it, or move it out of the way.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - A Double Dose Since It Was Such A Busy Weekend 2008-03-02 16:28:46 Besides clutter in general, open toilet lids is the most prolific form of worst MLS photo that I find. Rarely do I ever see one from this high of an angle. At least it’s clean.
Since I missed blogging altogether on Saturday (did you miss me?), I’m doing a twofer today.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Actually We Love This Tribute 2008-02-29 10:00:34 No real reason to put it into the “worst” posts except that it came from the MLS.
It’s actually a tribute to Nancy McKenzie, who moved here with us from Columbus. She was our best friend for 10 years, and one of the smartest and most talented people we ever met. She passed away at [...] Read more:Photo

Weeds Are Popping Up Like Foreclosures! And Both Can Hurt The Value Of Your Home 2008-03-12 04:15:25 So the doctor says ragweed is the culprit! It’s evil in several different ways, and can have a huge effect on the health of people and the health of neighborhoods.

Las Vegas Planning Commission Sides With Residents Of Historic Neighborhoods 2008-03-14 11:19:12 The planning commission turned down the 47 Story hi rise development at 6th and Sahara.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Portable Clothes Racks 2008-03-14 11:03:57 I think every home exercize machine in America looks like this.
The fireplace might be a nice feature to show off, but not when the living room is used as a flop pad.
But I’m really baffled as to how this would help to make a buyer WANT to see this home.

Worst MLS Photo Of The Day - Wrestlemania Poster Does Not Convey 2008-04-06 16:17:18 Furniture is inescapable when shooting an occupied home. But if all there is to see in the picture is the furniture, (and John Cena, the WWF wrstler), then why publish the picture at all. White walls and a window aren’t features.
The only thing worse than a bad picture is NO PICTURES AT ALL!
