Of course it got sold. The seller was completely honest about the condition of the property.
You're going to have to disclose the fire. May as well use it to get lots of people looking if you're confident in the rebuild. I do like imagining trying to sell it during the fire based on apparent damage done and the perceived capabilities of the fire dept. in stopping it.
Interview with the author https://www.digitalesbild.gwi.uni-muenchen.de/inexplicably-b... "KP: Is it important for you that the photos actually originate from real estate marketplaces? If so, how do you verify their origin? AD: Yes, that’s actually really important, otherwise the blog is just unverifiable user-generated content. If an image is submitted without a link, or no agent’s logo on the image, or I can’t find…
This is incredible given some of the listings. The fact one of the pictures is the house on literal fire, coupled with this context, goes to show that some people really don't belong anywhere in marketing or sales.
Namely, honest people who aren't total shitbags always trying to put one over on their fellow human beings for profit.
In my opinion, if anything, what makes these pictures less than ideal is the property itself which has nothing to do with the real estate agent. It's actually a net positive for potential buyers seeing all aspect of the object - what else should the agent do, hide unfortunate corners? Right, like anyone who actually cares to go and look at the property before buying it (so almost everyone) would not see these things…
This was mostly just bad houses. In some cases, the photographer seemed to do a decent job of making the best of it.

I don’t know what compels people to live in these McMansions. Perceived status? Second vacation home? Fuck you money? American lifestyle is so wasteful. It’s disgusting. Climate change is impacting everyone and these rich assholes continue to waste resources on shit like this.

RE: the fire, problem properties are actually a hot market... flippers love those. In reality that's a fantastic photo for marketing purposes.

Have you both bought and sold a primary residence without a realtor? Interested to hear about the experience.
I did a FSBO in a tiny town and the property was purchased directly by a buyer that was also without a realtor, but both sides had a mortgage from a national bank, and inspections happened, there was a boilerplate contract (the same one the previous realtor used for us buying the house, the lawyer’s name was on the contract) and a title company. The transaction was on rails. Could not have been smoother or cheaper.
For that place we knew the local market was small and the rumor mill active and figured we could FSBO for a bit before we contacted a real estate agent if we needed access to the MLS and non local buyers.
As for the time we purchased without an agent, we purchased a few 100 acre ranch from our family and did so with a real estate contract, seller financing and no mortgage. It would have been difficult to get financing at a reasonable rate for a property of this kind. This involved a fair bit of time dealing with lawyers and neither party is happy with the lawyers but the deal got done.
Anyhow - both experiences were good.

> That's how all photos should be - original, no editing, no staging; The second entry at the moment is an example of really bad staging.
The second one is the fake bookshelves one (at least for me). I think that the house really has been lived in with that hideous wall. But yes there are plenty of bad staging photos, and at least one totally ridiculous photoshop (the sofa planted completely out of perpective and in front of a mirror that ought to be reflecting it).
The one with the all the white / biege colour books, I'd actually love to have all my books on my bookshelves with the same colour. I like all my books, but I think it's quite ugly with how different all the colours are. Obviously I'd still want to have the name of the book on the spine though. Or to be able to have it colour coded by genre or something, just something more aesthetically pleasing really.
