Top Tips for Real Estate Agents: a Year-End List
(in which I reuse old posts for educational purposes)
1. Flush the toilet.
(2. Put your pants back on before taking the photo.
3. Clean up if the house isn’t in good shape. Vaseline on the lens is not the answer.
4. Look, we presume there’s a toilet. We don’t need to see it.
5. No, really. “Pants on” is a pretty basic rule when it comes to real estate agents at work.
(6. New toilets don’t cost that much. Maybe you should buy one, if they’re that important to you.
7. Keep the photos relevant. I’m sure your pets are charming but, unless they transfer, don’t include them in the listing.
8. How’s this for a compromise: include a photo of the toilet only if it’s not where one might logically expect to find it.
9. You’re going to keep on using toilet photos, aren’t you? I give up. Is there a support group you could join? Maybe you should start one. You could meet here:
Thanks for an excellent year, real estate agents! I couldn’t do it without you. And remember…
10. …it never hurts to include a photo of Chair.

Shhh, don’t say it too loud. Without these mistakes, you’d have no Lovely Listing. And a world without Lovely Listing is a sad world, indeed.
Wow, no mention of the messy counter in #4?
BAH HA HA HA HA!
Thanks for all the laughs!
Perhaps Toilet is Chair’s darker cousin..the black sheep as it were. I think you should do a similar expose’ on Toilet sometime.
Ah, Aesop’s lesser known fable. A family favourite.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! You’ve given me some of the best chuckles I’ve had all year!
If they won’t flush the toilets, they could at LEAST close the freaking lids.
Maybe they where selling the dog and the turtle with house…
You made me laugh a lot! Thanks for this site!
Sorry! I ment “they were selling”
Anyway… thanks!
That red-eared slider is malnourished – someone should call the SPCA, not the real estate agent. Sheesh.
We have all had listings like that or have brought our buyers to houses that look that. EEEEk love real estate.
Its too much really
I’m laughing because when I played Sims I would put toilets in random places to prevent the people from peeing on themselves. Maybe somebody should tell these people Sims cheats do not work in real life,

Nope, doesn’t work.
