Unbelievable. I feel sorry for the websites which has such terrible photos in their MLS. This cleary shows the shabby work by them, but I dont think its a big deal from customers point of view. But still this is going to give them a bad reputation. I have been thinking of employing a prosumer photographer for taking pictures of homes for sale exclusively.

The bad photos are one thing but what really bugs me the most is when a property is listed on the MLS with ZERO photos! I just came across a property yesterday in our local San Diego MLS that has been on the market for 28 days! I wish the bank knew what a horrible job their real estate agent was doing for them. I don’t care how ugly or bad a property looks just take some photos and post them in the MLS. Get in your car and spend a little gas money!!!

Thanks for posting these incredibly bad photos. They remind me of a friend who wanted to take photos of a new listing from some angles that de-emphasized numerous poorly-conceived home additions. But NO! The client insisted that photos taken by her son be used.

My wife and I searched for months online looking for our new home. We would definitely exclude listings based on photos, and some poor listings got us in the door to at least look at the place because of the quality and staging of their photos. Considering how visual a medium the internet is, I am surprised by how little care is taken by real estate agents to get really good pictures done of their inventory.

No, we don’t need another picture of the corner. No we don’t need another picture of an open door.

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?!
