How To Fix That UGLY MLS Bathroom Picture

Gene,

That's a good idea. The bathroom picture does nothing to promote the listing!!

Someone has to say it! Thanks. A picture really is worth a thousand words. I have seen so many bad pictures on MLS - it makes you wonder whether they are trying to sell the house.

Gene -

I concur.  The bathroom picture never comes out well.  It amounts to a snapshot of the toilet and a corner of the sink or shower.

When reading the heading, my thoughts were, "Don't upload it."  I see we think alike.  Nice pond picture.

Gene - Cute way to get curious folks to view your listing!  I was just about to suggest a bathroom remodel, when voila' I went ahead and clicked through to your blog. . .:-)

How many more photos can we see of the basic bathroom? I like your idea . . . none!

Gene, I totally agree, doe without the bathroom photos and add something nice in the neighborhood.

I agree.  Unless it's a really special bathroom we usually don't shoot it. 

Gene - Wow - as a home stager I couldn't agree with you more! The object of photos is to bring buyers in and the pond would bring me in!

Gene - The pond shot is a great enhancement for the set of MLS photos.

I agree about not posting it on MLS but would take a picture, just in case they want to see the bathroom tile etc, etc. 

Or you could try to make the bathroom look more inviting ... sorry, I couldn't resist!!  Don't you just love Photoshop?

Definitely dont post a bad picture of a bathroom, but work on your skills and equipment to take a good photograph of the bathroom as the photo will let prospective buyers know if the bathroom is up to date or not....

How about showing a nicely staged bathroom instead.

Sorry I just can't help it.

Ooh Glenda, what camera was used to take this shot?
