Do Bathroom Images ever sell a home?

A new blog layout means a new category which I plan on updating at least every week: Vancouver Realtor Fail. This is the first of many to come. So much material it’s a gimme. MLS write ups, images, websites, slogans. It’s like shooting fish in a barrel. On my own I have enough material to keep me going but please feel free to submit.

The first post, as you can see, is of a standard bathroom. One of the worst I’ve seen in a while. I already can’t stand standard bathroom shots on listings. I know the bathroom condition can help sell a house but not as an image. The bathroom is something that must be viewed live. Everyone knows the house has at least one bathroom and unless it’s very remarkable there is no sense taking a picture of it. No reason at all.

I added the lense flare to this photo to protect the innocent. It is not my intention to ridicule or embaress anyone. It is my intention to think like the public and voice it to any Realtor who will listen.

  1. You could not be more right. This totally makes me crazy! Who seriously wants to see a bathroom (with the seat up as well) as a featured room! Well, looks like we share this idea too. I want to blog on my website and facebook page about things that I see each day in real estate. Can’t wait to get started!

  2. It’s so nice to have you comment on my blog. Thank you. I’m looking forward to helping you make bloging a reality. It’s fun. When you blog, you start to view the world as possible content. I am also taking a Copy Blogger course called Internet Marketing for Smart People http://www.copyblogger.com/internet-marketing/
