I found a new favorite gem of a real estate blog that I go back to for entertainment from time to time. RE Agent in CT, is home to agent Athol Kay and Athol Kay Photography. When I have a free moment, I like to take a glance at his “Bad MLS Photo of the Day” and the comments attached to it for a good chuckle.
I cannot tell you how many times I visit real estate websites and view terribly blurry photos, cluttered or badly staged rooms, and family pets. I cringe every time I see it and I wonder how on earth a potential buyer must feel when seeing these pictures. If I am cringing, they must be thinking “NEXT”.
As Athol says, Good Photos Sell Homes.
Awhile back I wrote a post called, Snap Listing Photos Like a Pro. In it I included basic tips you should follow to take great listing photos. Don’t let your photos show up on his blog. Follow the good photo taking guidelines, or if you find it too difficult, hire a professional.
Just say no to bad MLS photos. And get a good laugh out of the blog if you can.
