AI altered Photos in listings

I never found much benefit from it. I have had decent 'honest' feedback by calling buyers' Realtors, but usually the seller's side stuck to their guns. Interesting how different experiences drive different scopes of work.

I noticed a little while back the agents started putting fake fires in the fireplaces whether they were actually functional or not. Many older homes in older neighborhoods around here have old decorative only anymore fireplaces while only functional fireplaces have any value in this market. So now I have to waste more time trying to find out if its actually functional or not.
Is this not part of what appraisers get paid do? down the bottom you have choices. i.e AS-IS' subject to and some other choices'
sometimes you get a cookie cutter and other times you get a harder subject to appraise. You know this unless your a rookie which your not based on when you joined this forum 2010

They used to only mark fireplace as an amenity in the MLS when functional, now they don't. I guess leaving it ambiguous is a way of getting them in the door, then oh by the way, its just decorative.
 
My Brick fire place is in my Den. I cant use it because bat's an birds have nested in it and its now a fire hazard until I get a chimney sweep
 
IMO-when they decided to "Modernize" the real estate industry, they meant ALL components, sometimes ya just get what you ask for............rules are breakable, AI doesn't peek inside a dwelling and whoever gets caught holding the bag, it's just too bad.
Bad guys will always be around, because you change some rules, doesn't mean they'll stop and they will be the first to abuse AI and see how it plays out.
