My husband is a realtor (shameless plug through hyperlink) and so I see a lot of real estate photos every week. And every week I am shocked at how horrible most of these photos are. Have the other real estate agents never used a camera before? Do they not understand that they aren’t Craigslisting their clients’ possessions? Perhaps they need glasses and that’s why the picture is blurry. Either way, whatever the reason, I have decided to share some of these tragic eyesores with the rest of you lovely people.
STAIRS with RAILINGS included free of charge! Who knew that these two story houses might have them?

And from the same collection…


I don’t know if it’s the purple carpet or the wrapping banister reaching into the next room or the pillar a third of the way up the stairs but this staircase worries me.

So what you are telling me is that there is a window above the door with a sad little chandelier and stairs that curve? Got it!

Hey look! Stairs!

And more stairs…

And don’t forget the banister! This picture tells me nothing about the house that I couldn’t already see in the exterior shot or the initial picture of the staircase.
So what’s the point? If it is a two story building, we can deduct that there are stairs and railings attached as it’s a fire code. Unless the staircase is spectacular and really deserves the spotlight, don’t include it in the limited 12 pictures you post of your listing. All that tells me is that the actual rooms aren’t worth looking at.
