Is It a Barn or a House?

Not only because the picture really doesn’t tell me which one it is – a barn or a house – but because the smell inside of the actual barn/house was that of a zoo, a manure pile, or possibly a city dump.

I wandered into this fine piece of Mission Hills real estate today, you know that they say: If it smells, it sells…We’ll see.  Come one, come all!

Spring Cleaning, Anyone?

A big pet peeve are photos taken that just don’t make sense.  While having only one photo of a property is definitely not ideal, if you’re selling your San Diego real estate, a picture that makes the home look bad is even worse.

Looking at this picture, my first thought is, “Who fired the maid?” and “If this is the kitchen, what does the rest of the house look like?”  Neither of which are selling points…

The realtor and photographer can usually push the mess to the side so that the pictures themselves will look amazing, afterwards, if you are the seller, please keep it that way so it will sell for top dollar, buyers can’t see through the clutter to imagine their belongings there.

Selling Point!

This one speaks for itself…needless to say, we didn’t go to view the property!

Is this a San Diego Home for Sale or Are They Selling the Weeds?

Thankfully for San Diego Home Sellers, Sandicor (San Diego’s MLS System) requires at least two photos of each house.
In this case, I believe that this second photo was shot for our entertainment and not  to sell the home.

Keep in mind, you’d have to spend upwards of 600K for this.  (Still not quite sure what it is….)

Is this Building Exploding?

This is one of two photos taken for this normally adorable condo complex in Hillcrest called Cliffbridge.  The other photo was also, of course of the exterior.

Now, I understand that sometimes tenants are uncooperative when you want to get in and take pictures, but I checked the listing and the owners are currently occupying the property.

Hey, don’t you want some nice pix of your cozy kitchen, the interior of the building, a few bedroom or bath shots?

Just a building that was photograped so that it looks like it is ready to explode…oh well.  I wonder how many buyers decided not to look at this property based on the lack of pictures:(
