It’s a tough market out there – and getting tougher in a lot of places – and most REALTORS® realize that better service and tighter belts are the best recipe for weathering the downturn. In contrast, the photos below illustrate that not everyone has hunkered down for the storm:
$1,000,000 Condo
I’ll go easy on this one because it’s ONLY 1 million dollars! This is the showcase (and only) “view” shot in the property photo gallery, and what a view it is! Nondescript, and with absolutely no point of reference. Anyone in Vancouver can tell you that if it had been zoomed out and angled slightly left there would have been perfect landmarks for anyone to get their bearings. But we (and the seller) will have to settle for a compressed view of the mountains obstructed by the reflection of a CD case.
$1,100,000 Condo
You’d think that with $37,000 in commission at stake the REALTOR® would keep his socks out of the shot.
$1,125,000 Condo
“Yes, this $1.125 million dollar condo comes complete with clutter, vitamin D deficiency and depression. Will you be making an offer?”
$2,200,000 Condo
These four photos below represent the TOTAL contingent of photos for this property on the MLS®. Luckily these four photos tell that this place has everything including, power lines, poor lighting, small bedrooms, and cloud… lots and lots of cloud. Mr. REALTOR®: My hat is tipped to you sir for risking $43,000 in commission by not getting a professional photographer; those stakes are out of my league.
The Winner: $2,250,000 Condo
Here’s a shot from one of the most exclusive condos in Vancouver. Your $2.25 Million dollar view includes cloud, grey, rain, smoke and sulfur. This represents the worst photo/listing-price ratio I found today.
