Getting property photos from sellers

[Nikki Utley]

I wasn't able to find any posts related to this question. If anyone knows of one please let me know. 

My question is, would it be uncommon to ask a seller to send photos of their home before you make an appt to see it in person or should you just go?

Asking because I only have public transportation available to me at the moment. I can make arrangements to get to a property that is not on a bus line but I want to make sure it's worth the trouble if I do. Am I overthinking this?
