Cover picture strange choices

Sounds like some modern art. Maybe some symbolism. :joy:

You’ve seen that too.
I just checked the rest of the pictures, out of curiosity, and there are no pictures of the house itself. Just a balcony and landscapes.

Symbolism, and floors are getting very popular. I saw another one. A travel bag on a terrace chair and a bit of terrace floor.

I saw a listing yesterday that had 8 pictures of a cat, and nothing else, not a single picture of the house.

One cover picture I saw yesterday: 2 dogs playing? Fighting? Showing their teeth, but of course that might be happy.

@Chrissie :roll_eyes: How did that “slip through the net “ ?
Aren’t all new listings supposed to be reviewed before being approved by THS and must include 5 internal photos of the home ?
Or are the counting a photo of a cat indoors as an internal photo of the home ? :woman_shrugging:t2:

@Newpetlover
I wonder how did that “slip through the net “ ?

Does THS accept a photo of a floor only as an internal photo of the home ? :woman_shrugging:t2:

An interesting topic you’ve started.

I’ve noticed that some listings lead with an impressive panoramic view of the location they’re in. I sometimes get sucked in by the splendid view and then, the remaining home pictures look like pure clutter and chaos and I quickly back-pedal! :laughing:

Saw that one too @DianeS and looked no further :joy:

They were probably internal cats. :smiley:

Just this morning I see listings with cover photos of:

  1. A bathroom sink close up. A nice sink, but is that really the best thing about the house??
  2. The front door, from inside the house.
  3. A front door close-up, from outside.
  4. A wall, showing part of 2 pictures.
  5. A hallway with boxes and clothing thrown on top.

Yesterday, I saw a disgustingly messy bed in shadows, with a pile of laundry next to it. Made me shudder. I didn’t click on the other photos to see what horrors might’ve awaited.

I honestly think they don’t check or just do random checks because there are too many.

That’s a good list for just a short search.
Very informative and inviting!

I think many HOs don’t look at their listing, so they don’t realize what photo shows as the cover one. :person_facepalming:

That should be pretty obvious, even when just looking at the Editing-view. Changing the order of pics is also super easy.

Above the pic there’s also a reminder to include at least one photo of each of the listed rooms.

I know that, but not everyone is tech-savvy. Or maybe they don’t care :woman_shrugging:

:joy:I’m pretty sure I spotted that one too x

Or Xmas trees in the middle of summer.
