Some REALTORS stink at photography

I saw a listing photo recently that was apparently taken while sitting in a recliner and the photographer's bare feet were actually in frame.  I'm pretty sure The Dukes of Hazard was on t.v. too.  It threw me off so bad that I honestly can't remember what the house looked like.  It didn't help that the rest of the photos were so poorly lit that I couldn't tell if the counter tops were plywood or granite.  It could have been a well built home in a terrific neighborhood but anyone looking online likely did the same thing I did and simply clicked "next".  The reality is, if you find a house online that suits most of your needs from an objective standpoint and is in your area of interest, you owe it to yourself to go take a look.  Often times the photos are deceiving in either a positive or negative direction.  You may end up finding a hidden gem that no one else was willing to look at because of naked feet.  Don't make the decision to tour or buy a home solely from what you see online.  You still have to put your feet on the ground and actually visit the home or property you're considering.  Better yet, get a good agent who's willing to preview homes for you and trust that they'll make you jump in the car to come see the ones that suite your needs.  If you're a seller and can see your agents' feet in your listing photos, fire them.  That's just gross!
