We've all heard that buyers want many pictures, but sometimes it might be best to leave some of them out. Imaging should get people excited to call and see the listing. Unfortunately, some imaging can create more objections to overcome than we'd expect.
Today, as I'm going through the new listings on the MLS, I'm noticing that there are tons of photos that do very little to show a listing. Many do nothing to even tell me what room it's in because it's simply a corner shot that shows a little corner of a window, or a shot of just a bed that could be a Full size (I think) or some are even of a tree in the yard that could be in the front or back. The problem with these types of images is that if I can't tell what the photos are of, a buyer won't either. I live very close to a couple of listings that have popped up in the last day or so, and the homes exteriors are beautiful, however the imaging makes them look average or even drab.
As a professional photographer and Buyer/Investor, I understand that photos will not always tell the story of what a home has to offer. But many Buyers don't know this and get discouraged, only to go to the next one with better imaging.
Times are tough, but please don't sell your self short or shoot yourself in the leg.
Happy Shooting, and Happy Days!
