Get the best photo you can of the exterior because that's the one that will persuade potential buyers to look at the rest of the photos.
Emphasize the home's best points. Make sure you include a picture of the area the sellers think is its most attractive selling point.
If possible, shoot the exterior shot a half hour before or after sunset with all the interior lights turned on.
Hold the camera straight. Using a tripod is always a good idea.

Get some backyard photos too. It can't be seen from the curb and many want a bigger back yard.

It is so important to take good photos - that can make or break an agent showing the listing!
