Bad photos in listings have been a pet peeve of mine for as long as I can remember. (Most recently blogged here.)
And I am not alone. Norm Fisher, the Saskatoon blogger I wrote about just a week ago has a brilliant little virtual tour on his web site that showcases some of the best of the worst.
Apparently I'm not the only one that thought Norm's tour was brilliant. Blanche Evans, the editor of Realty Times, penned a nifty article featuring the now famous Norm Fisher and his virtual tirade against lousy listing photography. Check it out.
Jeepers Norm, I didn't know when we had breakfast that you were going to be so stinking famous! I should have asked for an autographed 8×10 full color glossy print!

Boy, that was cool! Hilarious and cool.
I like what he’s done there with the voice over. I guess I’ll have to check out the VisualTour product.
Jay. Thanks again for the mention. You and Blanche have the hit counter spinning this week.
I saw that tour awhile back. It’s the talk of the Virtual Tour industry too (RealTourVision) because it’s hilarious, well done Norm!

Jay, great post!
Isn’t it amazing how we continue to be amazed by some of our colleagues incompetence. Worse, if I was a seller of a million dollar home, wouldn’t I inspect what kind of marketing my agent is doing? Ask for their marketing plan?
I’ve never seen an intelligent seller choose a really bad agent have you?
As Forrest says, “Stupid is as stupid does.”
I just posted a similar thread about the bad photos we get in the Prescott MLS: http://prescottreos.com/2009/02/examples-of-bad-mls-pictures-that-cost-reo-asset-managers-money/
Your clients are lucky they have an agent with a clue!
Nice writing style. Looking forward to reading more from you
