Foundation in the basement seems off...

But my realtor says it shouldn't be a problem?  I've been looking at my first few houses in the Syracuse market and this foundation seems bad. 

Any thoughts?

There's no accurate way to tell from this photo. What are your concerns with it? Deterioration, sinking, water? All of the above? If it's a property you have inspected, the foundation should be tested for deterioration and/or water infiltration.
