Armen, I understand your intention in trying to educate others on how an agent should not represent a client, but I believe it's not professional to publicly shame another agent on their listing, especially when their information is noted.
dlines, I see your point of view. My intent is certainly not to sugarcoat or compliment what is a publicly posted listing and certainly have many opinions of my own, which I've tightly reserved. What I've laid out is fact. Any feelings or judgements that arise from examination of the fact are natural consequence. I hope that's something we can agree on.
StevenGrey - Photoshop, Lightroom, HDR, Video, high-end cameras are all modern tools which are designed to best show a property, not change it or alter it, or make the image quote "dishonest". Just the opposite. Those tools are to best show what is there. Believe me dirty dishes in a sink would look equally awful in High Definition
Shelby2 - I agree with you, a simple floor plan and a facade photo would have been better. Working with the tenant (if rented) and a cleaning service or waiting to list until after the tenant has move out is also an alternative.
As a general note, any public post like this that I make, I do not post lightly and my message is not intended to broker community but to general public. I firmly believe, owners can and should expect more from the brokerages they put their faith in and yes, I am occasionally vocal about it
