Very useful tips you have there. Thanks for sharing them. I'll keep those in mind and tell it to friends if ever they'll be needing them.

I found the images in various places to illustrate the problems– they were
taken by others and there were no comparable “good ones” of the same
property to compare. You make a good point, however, and I might update the
post (or write a new one) with examples of good photographs, as I did on the
last photos in the post.

Good comments but I wish you had also used good views of the same properties to help explain the differences.

Also avoid photographing sections of the home that have wallpaper, especially if it's of an outdated style. Old or tacky-looking wallpaper can easily kill a sale, and it's a good idea to remove it before staging a home for an open house.

Joe:

Thanks for this post. I'll send it along to a new listing client who wanted me to explain why I skipped one bedroom in their photo gallery and videos. I just couldn't make it look good with any of my lenses.
