Nothing particularly noteworthy about this picture…

…but that didn’t stop the agent from shooting a second photo almost exactly like it, and including both of them in the listing.

And it’s not just the living that got the double-take treatment, either.

The bedroom also gets double vision.

I promise I’m not just putting two of the same photo on here. Go the listing and see for yourself.

Same treatment for the entry hallway, too.

Here’s a bonus shot that, despite being incredibly blurry, wasn’t taken a second time:

How do listing agents like this ever find work?

Oh yeah, I will definitely be going down that hallway. NOT.

Here’s the entire listing description:

AWESOME HOME IN THE BEST PART OF DETROIT

I think the listing agent and I have very different definitions of “awesome home.”

I also get the feeling that “the best part of Detroit” is sort of like “the warmest part of Antarctica.”

Gotta love the effort put forth by the listing agent.

The home does at least have an interesting architecture, but overall, if this is “awesome” in “the best part of Detroit”… yikes.

At $1.2 million dollars, this home appears to be the only other listing in Detroit currently asking over a million dollars.

In the real estate business, this is known as “Not trying. Not even a little bit.”

Seriously, it would be difficult to take less useful and more terrible photos if you tried.

Gotta love all the clutter, too. It’s not just the agent that isn’t trying here.

Ever heard of this thing called a flash?

Anyway, mostly Detroit just makes me sad. I probably won’t be posting too many more houses from there, unless something really ridiculous comes up.

Yup, that’s the primary photo for this “Completely restored Victorian Mansion in prime Mid-Town” Detroit, listed at $2.5 million. The really odd thing is that they have a decent exterior photo, but for some reason they buried it down at #49 of 58 photos.

Some of the other photo choices are interesting, as well.

Who wants to spend $2.5 million on a mansion just to have a bunch of people in apartments staring into your party yard all day?

Also, I’m not sure that “a view of Ford Field and Comerica Park” is really on the list of features that mansion-shoppers are looking for.

They do have some sweet stairs though, so there is that.

Seems like a pretty normal house… until you hit photo #13 (above).

From the listing description:

Your friends will say, WHOA!, you hit the lottery with this one!

See, it doesn’t count if your “friends” are all inanimate.

From the submitter, Sarah K.:

Must say that’s the finest whiskey-barrel dining set I’ve ever seen, and check out that bronze cherub in the top corner of the final photo.

It’s certainly the strangest staging I’ve seen in a while.
