The worst picture I saw on MLS was an Agent in his boxer shorts taking a picture of the bathroom and the mirror captured him taking the picture.

Noah's photo he posted is the worst I have ever seen. That agent was using no sense at all unless the message was "the seller is ready to dump this property".

The worst was a photo of the full litter box at the front of the shot. The agent was trying to show the full length of the room but all you saw was cat poop and mounds.

My mls ( themls.com) allows 52 pictures for each property. A lot of agents use only one( having at least 1 is required), most of pictures are coming from agents' smart phones...

Where do I begin? The home had pictures of a bathroom that was a total mess! Toilet seat up, shower curtain was crooked and person hygiene products were everywhere! The bathroom was dirty. The laundry area was cluttered with mess and the photo showed a broken window. Every single room was in disarray.

I've seen thumbs in photos, covering a good portion or full corner of the pic. 

Multiple upside down photos. 

Children and pets laying on beds or couches. 

I've seen full dashboards or side mirrors from pics taken inside the car.  

And many bathroom "selfies" of agents capturing themselves in the mirror.

Priceless....

The other pictures that drive me nuts, are the ones that are over processed.  I like HDR pictures, if they are done correctly.

OMG there are sooo many. Maybe not the worst, but a home priced well into the millions that claimed ocean views from the master had a view out the window that was almost totally filled with the tree outside. No view in sight, and that was the LEAD photo.

And then there was the lead photo of the MLS of a custom home that was blurry AND upside down

  • Photos taken from inside the car and include a large portion of the side view mirror.
  • Photos with a blue cast over them.  I think those are taken from an old flip phone.
  • Photos that focus on an object, not the space.

There's an agent whose listings always included a photo looking down inside of a toilet.  I never understood the point of that.
