FAIRFIELD BEACH REALTOR LANDS IN THE CREEK: HILARIOUS PHOTO FAIL!

Pine Creek Waterway, Fairfield, CT

My listing meeting at the lovely home on the Pine Creek waterway was scheduled for next week. I had met with the homeowners, completed my market analysis, and created a comprehensive custom marketing plan that included professional photos, aerial views, and twilight views. But I needed a nice photo to use in my presentation materials, and as always, I set out to take my picture.

The home was gorgeous from every vantage point, but the money shot had to combine the dramatic walls of glass facing the water, the fabulous dock, and of course, the water views!

I could not capture everything in one view from the edge of the property. But there was a ramp extending into the water just next to the property that I set out towards to capture my shot. Here’s what happened.

Photo showing scraped knee and shin.
Scrapes!
Photo showing mud all over my legs and shoes.
Dirt!
Photo showing a big bruise on my leg!
Bruses!
Photo showing low tide and the mud at the bottom of the creek.
Mud!
Beautiful photo of the home!
….And the winning photo! (Even the professional photographer didn’t capture this angle!)

Here’s what my client had to say-

That’s my story with a happy ending! Here’s a little more info about this property
