What the Hell Were They Thinking?

Have you ever looked at an old photo of yourself and wondered aloud, "What the hell was I thinking?"  After shaking your head in disbelief at your haircut or style of dress, you shove the photo to the bottom of your drawer or toss it into the trash, trying to forget the peals of laughter from your friends, at your expense.  Shift gears, and now you are perusing the on-line RE ads, looking for that place that speaks to you.  And there it is.  You stare shaking your head in disbelief... again.  Only this time it is not at your expense.  The photo, of what appears to be a den, reveals a "too brightly" lit room with no carpeting and an oversized (horrible print) sofa with clothing slung over the back of it.  The television is on and if you squint really hard, you can make out the score of the Jets game.  At least they are winning!  This photo is so bad for so many reasons, but probably the most important question to ask is, "what real estate professional allowed that photo to get out there?"  We can't always control the style and decor of a home but c'mon... can we at least make sure the dirty laundry is put away?  Most agents take great pride in making sure that every listing is shown in the best light possible, but sometimes one seems to slip through the cracks.
