I say no.  I always use photos and as many as I can depending on the property condition.  I include at least one virtual tour and one video tour, so my beef is not to make my job easier.

In this day and age if a Realtor cannot at least include one photo for the MLS they are flat out incompetent.  If a Realtor does not own a digital camera and know how to take a front pictures of a home then that Realtor should be dis-barred and thrown out of the business.

The MLS systems out in my trade area have made pictures mandatory and my complaint is why are we making bad agents look good.  We need to raise our standards and drive these clowns out not help them to continue to wreck other peoples lives.

It's called the slow Antelope theory,  the slow ones get eliminated from the geen pool so the species can survive.  The Realtor gene pool definately needs some chlorine.
