- Blurry photos.
- Have a steady hand, or use a tripod (that's what they're good for).
- Not enough photos.
- One or two photos? Come on.
- You need to showcase the whole house. Put a bunch up there. Furthermore, put a bunch of great ones up there!
- One or two photos? Come on.
- Include bathroom photos
- However, make sure you put the toilet lid down.
- A lack of appropriate staging.
- If you have too little, it's going to be boring.
- If you have too much, it's going to look overwhelming and cluttered.
- Messed up photos.
- Use a high resolution camera.
- Do not take them at a weird angle.
- Just take a good, high quality photo.
- No smartphones.
- Too much photo editing.
- Don't do it. Or at least, don't overdo it.
- Don't add in color to the trees, and don't put people in the photos that didn't exist.
