Good examples of Bad Photography ... Your clients deserve better than this!

These are a few samples that I found on MLS that some Realtors seem to think best represent their image and their clients home. Chances are pretty good that the Realtors themselves took these images and if not, I certainly hope they didn't pay for them. All of these homes were listed at well over 1 million dollars, and this was what the home owner received from the Realtor for photo representation.




The broom is a nice touch! Does it really matter though when the lighting is poor and there is no attention given to squaring up verticals? Photographers are not stagers and shouldn't be expected to clean and move items throughout a home being photographed but to remove a simple item like a broom shouldn't be an issue.

Keep in mind these homes were priced at well over a million dollars. Do you think this is good dollar value for the client when they are paying at the very least, $30,000 in commission? Having professional photographic representation shows your client that you are prepared to do your very best to sell their home. Home owners are becoming more educated in what they expect and what they deserve when giving a Realtor their business. There is much at stake when it comes to selling a home quickly and for top dollar.
