Lessongs on Taking on Photos for Your Property Listing

[Corey Dutton]

We’ve all seen the most terrible photos of properties listed for sale. Photos that were never meant to be found on the MLS or Zillow.com. I found this great website recently and wanted to share it again. The website shares a collection of funny photos found in real estate listings called, TerribleRealEstateAgentPhotos.com. For anyone planning on photographing a property for sale, take a lesson from some of the photos on this website and just don’t be that guy!

From an article by Dana Mattioli of the Wall Street Journal, I like these simple, common sense tips for property photos for a listing:

1.Turn on lots of lights and use a flash.

2.Remove clutter, clear counter space.

3.Use a good photo editing software to lighten up photos, crop them, etc.

4.USE A PROFESSIONAL. When in doubt just use a professional photographer. This is a large sales transaction, so it may be worth investing in a pro that will make your property photos perfect!

Curious about those really bad real estate photos? Check them here: http://terriblerealestateagentphotos.com/ Because each photo is so different, you may have to look at a photo for a few seconds in order to see the things that’s just not quite right !! Don’t hurry when selling a property. The property photos on a listing can really make the difference in selling a property fast.
