Taking photos of the front of a home:

• Take lots of photos from several angles so you can choose the best later.
• A cloudy day or light behind you is best.
• Avoid shooting from the garage angle but include garage if there is one.
• Get the whole house but not the neighbors' houses.
• Include the front door in the photo if possible.
• Shoot between trees but include trees.
• Crop out street, dry grass patches & too much sky.
• No cars, pets, people, toys, mailboxes, yard signs, etc.
• Update photos to show the current season.
• Make sure everything looks fresh & manicured.

Taking photos of interior rooms:

• Turn on all the lights.
• Get as much of the room in the picture as possible.
• Take pictures only of furnished rooms.
• No people, pets, clutter, kid's photos/names, etc.

Taking photos of land or views:

• Have an interesting feature as a focal point:  plant, post, rock, etc.
• Do not zoom in on views - show the real thing!
• Crop photos as needed.
• Greener greens and bluer blues are best - sunny day and lushest landscaping.
