We love it when we do a listing presentation and can show some of these photos to the home owner and then compare the better photos that we use. Thanks for the great “bad” examples!

You would think that the real estate agents who posted those photos, would be good at “selling” and should know that you can’t sell without a good photo :-p

Funny! I can’t believe how often I have to explain to people that they really need to shoot some better photos of the property. It’s like they think “a photo is a photo” but it’s a lot more than that, a photo is what people are going to base their decision on whether to contact you or not. The house may be really great, but the prospective buyer has never seen it and experienced it’s charm; the photo is all they have to go on.

Great idea for a topic! As someone who’s spent a lot of time searching for a home the last few months, I’m shocked at some of the HORRIBLE photos I find online. I don’t get it at all. What are some people thinking?!

I would suggest we take our own house picture if we want to promote it better. Dont rely on agent. The water heater picture is funny…people will not buy house based on just water heater…hahaha

Lousy pictures are a pet peeve of mine as well. There are professional photographers who will take the pictures for you if you can’t seem to take your own.

The MLS in Austin changed a while ago and many agents don’t seem to know how to upload good photos. There is a size limitation and many agents upload really small photos. If uploaded correctly, the photo whould enlarge when clicked on. I know that everyone isn’t a techhie, but this knowing how to display photos correctly is one of the musts for any listing agent.
