Zilkia,

So true, you would be a rich rich woman.

Robert,

I was in a hurry, I forgot my good camera, took it with the camera on my phone, dogs were chasing me and I snapped it on the run. Oh we could go on for a long time. My question to you is how did a Canadian post on the Wasatch Front MLS in Utah. You are good my friend.

Nancy,

Or is it? Well at least it doesn't seem to have water pouring out of it. Actually the picture isn't too bad it could be lightened very easily in Picasa, but I think almost every program that will show pictures on your computer can rotate a picture from portrait to landscape format. Thanks for your comment :)

Doug,

I guess we work hard to get the listing and then suddenly have deadlines to get the listing in to our MLS. We upload something just to get the listing in and think we will bget the good shots in later. I know it happens to me sometimes. Like Robert said earlier I guess we can make a milion excuses.

Karen,

I see you got the real point of my post. There are tools out there to help us post better pictures to the MLS. They are not difficult to use and they are free. I think we owe our sellers at least that. Thanks for your comment.

Len,

Thanks for your viewpoint. I don't necessarily agree with what you said but understand your viewpoint. I know how hard it is to show some rooms and some of the places we go into are scary. My point is that there are tools out there to improve the photos we take. When I see poor photos I wonder if the sellers are receiving our best efforts. I don't think that a bad photo is better than no photo as long as there are some photos that work. Photos can detract from what we are trying to accomplish.

Kevin C,

I agree with your comment and thank you for it. Well said.

Laura,

Thanks for reading my post. I hope that Realtors care and just don't know that there are tools available to make bad shots better. I agree it looks that way sometimes.

Fernando,

Wow that is a high number. Do you think it is worth the expense of having a professional take the pictures? Or do we all need to take some lessons and improve our equipment and software?

Jim,

Wow thanks for sending me to her blog, She has some great examples. You are correct that we have to work with some pretty rough places at times.

Charles,

I'm sure there are all kinds of things that have been done here on AR. I just started keeping a file that I dump bad pictures in just for the fun of it. Sometimes I have to open the file and show my wife and we have some good laughs along with true amazement that the photos mad it to MLS. I always enjoy your comments. Thanks

Bob & Camille,

I too have seen some with the graffiti on the neighbors wall and thought use the crop tool or something. It certainly doesn't make me want to live there, so I can imagine what the buyers that are shown the pictures think.

Kevin V.

Thanks for posting a picture with your comment. Not a bad picture, it is funny to me because every time I leave to go and take pictures my wife says make sure the toilet lid is down.

Andrew,

Thanks for your comment. Very well said. There are obviously price points that make a difference. That being said I believe we owe it to our clients to better our skills and tools when there is a price point. There are a lot of people here on AR willing to give us tips and advice on how to do just that. Thanks AR

Lee,

When proper techniques are used night pictures can be awesome. Most realtors do not have the proper equipment to make this happen. Longer exposures using a tripod, not better flashes are normally needed here. Nice examples, thanks for posting them.

Paul,

Would the task force also ticket for no pictures or just for bad pictures? Just curious, is a bad picture worse than no picture?

Mindy,

I think I would agree that a bad picture is better than no picture as long as you can see some detail in the bad picture. Sometimes they are pitch black and you can't see any details. In those cases I think it would almost be better not to post it. Thanks for your comment.
