Carl's house hunting adventures remind me of some of the funny listing photos that show up on the web. Today's SF Chronicle has some good ones: blog.sfgate.com/ontheblock/#10616-1One of my all time favorites was back in the days of the MLS books with no professional photographers. They would hire some kid to basically do a "drive-by" often taking pictures of the wrong house or just getting the garage. My personal favorite was the picture of the front of the garage with an off-leash dog taking a poop in front of a telephone pole. As the owner of the property I would have had a sh*t-fit!   |

The Main issue we are running into is when the house listed with pictures looks nothing like the actual house... And I mean nothing.

Cawiau - is it the size or that the house isn't in the same condition? I've shot interiors for DS' school and I use a special wide angle lens that makes the room look a lot larger than it is. I'll also add lighting to get a brighter, more even effect. When DH and I were shopping for homes there were a lot of times where we were like, "Damn, that was a fabulous photographer," lol.

LOL! The second one I was thinking "What's so funny or wrong with that picture?" and then I looked down. I knew a woman who would buy the house with the dog in the tub because she had 2 standard poodles and wanted a tub in her garage big enough to bathe them. She just added that feature to her house. |

The house with multiple dolls is creepy but not unusual. Surprising how many people have hordes of dolls sitting in their house.

We're not selling, but the picture of our house on Google Street view has a giant blow up Santa Claus on it from a few years ago. My kids are so embarrassed!
