Photo not available?

One of the things that really bug me in the professional real estate world is the lack of quality photos of the properties that agents are putting up for sale. You would think that all of these so called "Professionals" would have heart the words "A picture is worth a thousand words" at some point in their career.
Well, ... I know that buyer clients are really keen on looking at a lot of pretty online pictures before they are even interested in taking a closer look at a home. I also know that seller clients would like to have the best and most professional photos of their most valuable asset on the net to attract buyers. Isn't that common sense?

Hmmm judge for yourself ... (here are a couple of pictures that I recently came across while I was browsing for homes for some clients of mine) ... what do these pictures want to tell us?




Let's assume I had hired an agent to sell my property and would pay thousands of Dollars for that service. I think I would have not been overly happy with these really original shots probably taken by one of these "#1" agents personally. I do not want to brag about myself but my clients get their properties photographed by a person that is called a photographer! They even put beautiful virtual tours together where the smallest home still looks like a little palace!
I am not saying that all the other guys and girls out there do a terrible job in regards to presenting their client's homes but if I were a client it would be one of the most important things to me. If I am turned off by some pics already as a real estate person who should be able to see "the true picture of a home", what does the consumer think?

And my personal favourite: "Photo not available" Really sells the property!
