I was discussing the importance of properly photographing homes that are listed for sale. My friend who is not in the business at all was mortified at how poor quality many of the pictures are that she sees online. So much so she feels she may want to start advertising her amateur photography experience to Realtors in her area. I mean I saw photos online yesterday that look like a 5 yr old took them - crooked, too close up... I cannot understand why so many Realtors will submit such poor quality photos of their listings onto MLS and other online media. Even if its a foreclosure I think it is your duty to portray a listing in the best fashion possible. I believe these photos can often make or break your listing - you have to get people in to see the home, if the property looks horrid (because of poor quality photos) you will lose potential clients. Staging the property is also a valuable asset in the sales..and again it is imperative high quality photos are taken. Don't shirk this responsibility folks... You are sales people you are advertising what YOU SELL! Make it look GOOD!
What are some reasons you think Realtors fail to take decent pics? Laziness, indifference, too busy, too cheap? Would you hire a photography company?
