Small things you see in listings that drive you nuts
I'll start . . . In probably 1 out of every 10-15 listings, I notice that the refrigerator door is facing the wrong way. In other words, the handle is on the wrong side, so that when they open the fridge, the inside of the door is facing the wall, empty space with no corner, and/or away from the main part of the kitchen. Which makes it a much bigger PITA to take things in and out of the fridge.
Seriously, how do people live like this? Or am I the weirdo here? Curious to hear what else people come up with!

I don't care about weird idiosyncrasies that the seller may or may not put up with, but the lack of quality photos is my biggest gripe. It costs less than $150 in most cases to get good photos yet there are terrible agents taking 13 awful cell phone photos out of sequence with a scant listing description.
I don't know how or why sellers put up with this nonsense. Seems like a lot of people don't even review their house's listing once it goes live.
And to second what @Paul De Luca said, selling a rental property with no information that an investor will find useful is a waste of everyone's time as most agents cannot be bothered to answer the phone about their crappy listing.
