Another Misleading Listing from Bond NY
It’s one thing for a listing to have no photos or even just crappy photos, it’s another thing entirely to have a purposefully misleading photo, even if there’s a disclaimer burier somewhere. This is the second time in two weeks that we’ve clicked on a Bond NY listing in the NY Times only to discover…
It’s one thing for a listing to have no photos or even just crappy photos, it’s another thing entirely to have a purposefully misleading photo, even if there’s a disclaimer burier somewhere. This is the second time in two weeks that we’ve clicked on a Bond NY listing in the NY Times only to discover that the photo was bogus. The first time was May 3rd’s Condo of the Day, a gut reno on Dikeman; today’s listing is for some new carriage houses in Red Hook. The photo above, which looks more like Beacon Hill in Boston than Red Hook, is used to promote the listing. We’re not sure what the REBNY guidelines are on this, but it must violate at least the spirit, if not the letter, of its code of conduct. This is the kind of thing that gives brokers a bad name and should stop. When will brokers learn that this is the kind of thing that destroys a firm’s credibility?

Grew up on Beacon Hill. Looks like Acorn street to me.
Former Bostonian here. That’s definitely Boston. And there’s another listing on the site for a “new development” in Bklyn Hts and the picture looks alot like Comm Ave in Boston, not the heights.
It’s misleading. Never heard of this being done before. Thanks 01:29 for another fabulous generalization about brokers that I’d say is misleading and slimy to the core — just like most “information” on this website.
I have a theory: generally brokers are unethical and not very smart. The evidence in favor of this theory continues to far outweigh the evidence against it. What jerks – who cares about fine print and disclaimers – this is misleading and slimy at it’s core.
This is a Corcoran listing anyway and Jasper has no right to be advertising it. Go to to the site. There’s a Corcoran sign on it, not Bond NY. Corcoran is not going to allow this.
While we’re on subject of photos, why does Corcoran show purdy little flower close-ups on their listings now?
