Bad MLS Photos  Print This Post

This is a new category that I have wanted to do for some time because of the horrible photos I come across in the MLS. If you have a really bad MLS photo that you would like to have featured in this post please email it to me along with a short description of the picture.

bad mls photos

Can you believe this agent took a digital photo of a Polaroid and uploaded it into the MLS? Come on, are agents really this lazy they couldn’t drive our to the property and take a photo? Why are they collecting a commission? The other best thing is that this is the only picture in the MLS!!!

Couldn’t this agent take a better picture?

This home is pretty close to a free way over pass, it’s a very nice home. This home is actually listed for sale again and is one of our current listings. You should see the rehab they did to this home. It’s amazing and you probably wouldn’t recognize it.home close to freeway

Couldn’t this agent rotate the picture to show up correctly despite it being such an ugly photo???

This is a nice photo of the kitchen. You would think they could clean the floor, close the cabinets and take a photos that looks a little better with better lighting. As bad as this house was, you can always to a better job and take more then 2 pictures of the home to show in the MLS. :)

    That Polaroid photo is pretty bad! I can’t imagine a real estate agent taking a photo of a photo and using it in the MLS, that is pretty sad!

  2. Barry from scottsdale real estate Says:

    Sweet. I love looking at bad MLS photos. Matt Pellerin did a post a while back on an agents virtual tour. The house was absolutely disgusting… Pretty funny stuff.

  3. Homes Says:

    Oh snaps, that first picture was horrible. As the owner it’s immediately time to get worried. lol

    Cool post.

  4. Cincinnati Home Builders Says:

    lol. How many client do you think he got from that picture? :D
    But,what the heck. At least he got a picture of the house.

  5. Austin REALTOR Sam Chapman Says:

    The MLS in Austin changed a while ago and many agents don’t seem to know how to upload good photos. There is a size limitation and many agents upload really small photos. If uploaded correctly, the photo whould enlarge when clicked on. I know that everyone isn’t a techhie, but this knowing how to display photos correctly is one of the musts for any listing agent.

  6. Dotti Driver Says:

    Lousy pictures are a pet peeve of mine as well. There are professional photographers who will take the pictures for you if you can’t seem to take your own.

  7. doctor note Says:

    I wont deal with this kind of agents, absolutely not. Those are the worst photo possible to show to clients. I wonder if he got clients…

  8. Duh Only Says:

    Great idea for a topic! As someone who’s spent a lot of time searching for a home the last few months, I’m shocked at some of the HORRIBLE photos I find online. I don’t get it at all. What are some people thinking?!

  9. RealtyOneLV Says:

    Funny! I can’t believe how often I have to explain to people that they really need to shoot some better photos of the property. It’s like they think “a photo is a photo” but it’s a lot more than that, a photo is what people are going to base their decision on whether to contact you or not. The house may be really great, but the prospective buyer has never seen it and experienced it’s charm; the photo is all they have to go on.

  10. Jean from Koala Bears Says:

    You would think that the real estate agents who posted those photos, would be good at “selling” and should know that you can’t sell without a good photo :-p

  11. John; Vancouver WA Homes Says:

    We love it when we do a listing presentation and can show some of these photos to the home owner and then compare the better photos that we use. Thanks for the great “bad” examples!

  12. Kevin from Car Extended Warranty Says:

    My wife and I searched for months online looking for our new home. We would definitely exclude listings based on photos, and some poor listings got us in the door to at least look at the place because of the quality and staging of their photos. Considering how visual a medium the internet is, I am surprised by how little care is taken by real estate agents to get really good pictures done of their inventory.

    No, we don’t need another picture of the corner. No we don’t need another picture of an open door.

  13. Fernandina Beach FL Real Estate Says:

    Thanks for posting these incredibly bad photos. They remind me of a friend who wanted to take photos of a new listing from some angles that de-emphasized numerous poorly-conceived home additions. But NO! The client insisted that photos taken by her son be used.

  14. Alex Aguilar from Chula Vista Foreclosures Says:

    The bad photos are one thing but what really bugs me the most is when a property is listed on the MLS with ZERO photos! I just came across a property yesterday in our local San Diego MLS that has been on the market for 28 days! I wish the bank knew what a horrible job their real estate agent was doing for them. I don’t care how ugly or bad a property looks just take some photos and post them in the MLS. Get in your car and spend a little gas money!!!

    thanx for sharing such a great idea.keep it up.

  17. Mack from Las Vegas Real Estate Says:

    Unbelievable. I feel sorry for the websites which has such terrible photos in their MLS. This cleary shows the shabby work by them, but I dont think its a big deal from customers point of view. But still this is going to give them a bad reputation. I have been thinking of employing a prosumer photographer for taking pictures of homes for sale exclusively.
