Real Estate Agents Are Really Going Green… (you have to see this one)
Okay, this post is going to be short and sweet… and shows how much realtors are desparate to get houses sold in todays market.
My wife and I are looking for a house right now… so I know first hand how many houses there are out there right now… and how much a nice back yard can go in the minds of a prospective buyer.
But this one takes the cake from a house here in Oregon for sale with a nationally known real estate company (this is real… I didn’t doctor the photo).
Here’s the listing on the actual site itself (as of the time I posted this… the doctored picture is still up there)
Hmmm… does this Oregon realtor seriously think that for one… buyers are stupid enough to really think this is real grass?… and two, that a person who actually buys the house won’t actually go over to the house and look at the backyard and see that it’s not pristine green?
Well… I guess that’s up to you.
A Lesson In Today’s Real Estate Market
Please… if you’re trying to sell a home don’t pull pansie gimmicks like this… it won’t help sell the home… if anything it’ll end up hurting sales big time.
Let me know what you think… is this right? Does this border some kind of ethical issue?

OUCH!
Maybe he is practicing to be a airbrush artist for a magazine? We’ll either way he is going to go hungry!!!
Lol… ya Ken… even if he’s practicing to be an airbrush artist… man that’s pretty bad too.
That’s some of the worst “photoshopping” I’ve ever seen, lol.
Yep, I can guarantee he’s not rolling the sales through escrow like crazy with marketing like this.
Thanks for the comment!

Pretty crazy huh?
Shows how desperate some brokers are in this market.
