When Real Estate Photos Make Me Laugh Out Loud…
As someone who spends a fair amount of time looking online at real estate listings and photos, I can tell you, some of these photos are real doozies. My favorite site, for ease of use, is Zillow. There are other websites that I frequent, but many of them are so heavy laden with graphics and ads that it bogs down the computer.
The collection below comes from the Hampton Roads area (Southeastern Virginia). Only one of the photos is from outside of this area.
Enjoy the photos below, and if you enjoy this particular blog, PLEASE:

This image - the only picture available of this house - appears to be a PHOTOGRAPH of a Google street view, taken at a computer screen. At the very least, maybe someone can teach this agent how to do a screenshot?
*

And it would seem that this agent was so concerned about the "private property" signs that he/she took this picture (the lone image) from the safety of her car. Perhaps someone could teach her how to blot out the car door frame using Photoshop.
*

ET is living in a small house in Southeastern Virginia. And it's for sale. (The house.)
*

What's a sunporch without full plumbing?
*

From what I can glean, a high-powered rifle and a spray of bullets caused the sink to run away so quickly that it forgot to take the faucet with it.
*

The ad said two-zone central air.
*

Wherever you go in the room, the deer's eyes follow you...
*

Seriously.
*

Because how better to exhaust a dryer vent?
*

Gravity fed gas-pack? Oh wait, that's only going to work for cold air.
*

Jiffy-pop ductwork? It's growing so fast, it had to be constrained with a metal band.
*

If I was trying to sell a house, and the a/c compressor was in a theft-proof wire cage in the fenced-in yard, I don't think I'd put a picture of that in the listing.
*

Speaking of safe areas, this seems like a statement about the neighborhood.
*

Doesn't everyone have a water heater in the den (and a washer hook-up)?
*

The sheet-metal ducting on this furnace is very, very busy. The trunk line goes up and over and under the house. Meanwhile, the garage door is shooting laser eyes at the furnace.
*

It looks like the appliances and cabinets were in the middle of a dance party when a humanoid opened the door and everyone had to freeze.
*

Was this used to film a television program? Not sure what to think of the red X.
*

If you're going to take a picture of someone's undies draped on the sink, you might want to make sure your image and likeness doesn't show in the mirror.
*

This is a very exciting back yard.
*

The agent asked the homeowners to step out of the way but forgot about the mirror? Either that, or they're trapped in an inter-dimensional portal and need to be rescued.
*

Does the hanger convey?
*

And they advertised this as a fenced yard...
*

Because nothing says "good decorating" like children dangling from the ceiling.
*

It's true that Mom has left for heaven and won't need this house anymore, but can you move the oxygen cannula out of the way before snapping the photos? And please draw a face on the Teddy Bear. Ugh.
*

The elegance of the entry foyer is lost with the potty shot.
*

Give me a winning caption on this one, and I'll send you a free book! :D
