To be fair, sometimes, we as real estate agents, have to work with what we have. There is only so much coaching, cajoling, and downright tough love we can give when we sell homes. I sold a hoarder home once. It was a lot easier once my clients moved out and the home was professionally cleaned. Most homes don't have hoarders living in them. They have the folks who have different ideas of clean and tidy. As a homeschooling mom, I often tell people my home is "homeschool clean." Those who homeschool know exactly what I mean. Those that don't, know exactly what that means once they walk in (the dishes aren't done, the laundry probably isn't either. The bathrooms are clean, but there are books and papers in three different rooms).
Anyway, this is to preface, we agents aren't always on the same page with our clients when we explain what "show-ready" is supposed to look like. And yes, this home is actually active in the MLS. It has been on the market for two days. In the private remarks that only us agents can see, it says, "owner wants home sold NOW!" It also says in the same private remarks the AC doesn't work.
This last photo is kind of on the agent though. That is a mirror. The agent could have made sure the person wasn't standing in his line of sight when he shot the photo.
