Speaking of listing photos

[dr.girlfriend]

I'm looking at a house near us and they've posted both "regular" photos and super-slick photos and it's a little hilarious the way it flips back and forth.  It hardly seems like the same space.








It's like, "Sorry, we could only afford the fancy retouching for three of the 20 listing photos..."

I kind of see what people mean about potentially being disappointed when you see the house for real when photos are so nice, though!

I actually like the “normal” pictures better…

I like the "normal" photos better, too. The retouched ones look way too overexposed. I'm almost turned off by the super brightness.

I saw a listing come on in my town yesterday, and this is one of the photos.  Lolol.

Why on earth would they post the fancy and regular photos of a single place in the house?

This is probably flameful, but I feel like the role of realtors is much different - and easier - than it was decades ago. How can you not get the listing, including the photos, right?? It's sort of like, "You had one job!"

I like regular photos too. A listing in our neighborhood had pictures that were so retouched that they look like computer designs.

That's advertising for you

My mom has lived in her house for 30 years, and the houses are all around 50 years old. There’s been a lot of turnover this summer as prices are skyrocketing and adult children are telling their parents it’s time to sell (not that my mom is listening 🤦🏻‍♀️)

One neighbor has done a pretty extensive remodel over the last few years so everyone was really excited to see their listing photos. They made my head hurt. So many weird angles and super bright exposures. I couldn’t tell if they were really bad photos or if it was a really bad remodel. Guess it didn’t matter as the house sold the first weekend for over asking.

I want a house with color-changing kitchen cabinets.

I am so confused why they would include both - pick a lane!

LOL at the bright green foliage seen thru every window
