MLS Lawn Decor Fail:
Because they couldn’t afford a swimming pool shaped like Texas. It’s missing a bird bath right where Austin is located.
![2 MLS Fail Shots [Episode 01]](http://agbeat.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/2.jpg "MLS Fail Shots [Episode 01]")
MLS Window Treatment Fail:
These vertical blinds were out of fashion before they even when up. Those individual panels on the floor simply jumped to their own death. They knew how “over” they were and ended their own existence to spare the next owners. Probably should have some sort of a chalk outline around them, huh?
![3 MLS Fail Shots [Episode 01]](http://agbeat.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/3.jpg "MLS Fail Shots [Episode 01]")
MLS Kitchen Fail:
Nothing says “cook your food here and die from cooties” like this oven doors harvest-gold-tone-of-grease color. If you got past that without getting totally skeeved, check the meth lab like look of ingredients at the right of that oven. The only thing missing from that counter top collection is a bag of fertilizer.

MLS Lightswitch Fail:
Nothing says “light and bright” like retina piercing sunshine. If this was the best picture that could have been snapped of this room someone should have at least put their rack against the glass for entertainment value.

Umm… Yeah…. No comment.
Excellent. There’s nothing like a good laugh to start out the day. I especially liked the “meth lab” shot.
Welcome aboard Chris. I suspect this will be a weekly favorite. Hilarious stuff. I have a particular soft spot for that kitchen.
Glad to see more agents getting on board with unacceptable MLS pictures. I’ve been chronicling the same on my blog for nearly a year now, with the Horrible MLS Photo Of The Day, now at #363! Keep up the good work!
O-M-G!!! How awesome is this!!! one of my favorite Peeps EVA!! I am so psyched to see you here Chris and looking forward to more Twitterzilla magic
Nice listing Chris. Congrats on the AG gig.
Personally, I think ANYTHING shaped like Texas is a good thing…
And welcome to AG Chris!
Having had the pleasure of meeting Chris “In Real Life” I can attest to anyone who cares that she is one very cool chick.
These photos are just scratching the surface. There are tons more in our MLS that make these photos look fabulous.
Now we need Bob to join the gang!
If you like these, you really need to check out http://www.lovelylisting.com/. Nothing but the very worst MLS pictures from around the world!
Cool! so happy to have you here, although I admit I would love to have your job. LOL There are so many bad photos out there. My faves are the ones with the open toilet seats and the ones with people and pets in them. I hope this helps give national attention to a problem we have in the industry.
Welcome Chris !! YEA !!!!!
This will be fun…
So do we submit the photos to you? I’m sure this will be a weekly fav.
Love it. Welcome. If you don’t mind, I’d like to link to your post here in my Friday AG blog post. The title will be How To Know If Your Marketing Sucks or Shines. Would that be ok. Thanks.
Welcome Chris – what a riot this will be. I’ll be sending you some photos; they’re easy to find.
SaaaaaaWEEEEETTTTTT so happy to have you here!!!!! What a fun job for you – maybe we can get some laughs over here to cover those J-words in your life !
BIG HUG of welcome !
<thrilled!
Chris – Muy Bonita – you rock the AG house – But I want to know how you got a picture of my kitchen?
Thank you all for your support and welcome. Don’t forget to send me your favorite MLS Fail pictures. I want to make you famous, baby.
I’ve been seriously missing a place to send my bad photos since Athol left the planet! You are perfect for this gig!
