[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are a relic from the days when the MLS wasn't on the internet.

They are busy work for agents nowadays. Pictures for the internet are much more valuable.  [/quote]

You obviously haven't been to see many homes in person recently.  I have, and I can assure you that they are very, very often very, very different from what is pictured online.  Probably 75% of the houses I liked online turned out to have serious dealbreakers that were conveniently not pictured.  On the flip side, it wasn't uncommon to find something interesting or charming that was not captured in the online listing.  The nice thing was that our agent took the time to see a lot of properties in person so it got to the point where he could tell us in advance whether it was worth our time to see something in person.

Also, the online pictures are often photoshopped to the point of uselessness.Look at the stoves, couches, and other things that are generally of a standard/fixed size, and see how incredibly loooooooooong they appear.  The proportions are stretched completely out of whack and the real-life house looks compeltely different.[/quote]
