I'm Glad Someone Finally Said it...

Why Don’t Real-Estate Agents Use Better Photos?

It’s been the elephant in the room for years...

Bad photography rules the MLS... And there really is no excuse for it...

For the sake of disclosure I should mention I’m a real estate photographer & videographer...

Here are links to my website and portfolio...

Real Estate Convergence.com

Photos have become in my mind the single biggest factor in getting folks out to see a property... Your photos wind up on websites, the MLS, your flyers, Realtor.com and Craig’s list....

I’ll be the first to admit you’re not going to sell a home based on the photos, but I can tell you for a fact you can convince someone NOT to see a home based on the photos...

So if you insist on doing it yourself, promise me you’ll take these two tiny steps...

Stop taking photos in the bathroom where I can see you and your flash in the mirror.
Stop taking photos of toilets.

It’s just a beginning, but it’s a start.

Would also be nice if folks could figure out that a 35mm "wide" end is not, in fact, wide enough.

Kind of like how the built-in flash in any camera -- much less a pocket camera -- does not have the lumen punch to light up an entire room, un-vaulted ceilings or no.
