about how the owner has cared
for it. Nobody wants a house that
was previously occupied by an
unorganized owner.
3. Keep Trying Until You Get
a Photo in Focus
Take several pictures of each
image you plan to use. An out
of focus image typically could
illustrate that the real estate
agent doesn’t pay attention to
detail.
If you return to your office and
find the images are blurry or
terrible, go back and do it again.
You can never take enough
pictures on site.
4. Go to a Far Corner of the
Room to Take Pictures
One mistake real estate agents
make is taking pictures of rooms
that don’t show its space.
You need to go to a far corner to
take a picture to help illustrate its
space. This is important because
purchasers need to feel the size
of each room will be adequate.
5. Avoid High and Low
Angle Photographs
A potential customer wants to
see what a room or house looks
from the average height.
Low angle and high angle shots
certainly look fancy but it doesn’t
give the prospective buyer a
realistic view of what a property
looks like. You are much better
off sticking to normal shots with
a solid composition.
6. Remove Wall Pictures

Free Copy!
You should remove all pictures
from the walls of a home.
Nobody wants to see the other
family and their pictures.
A home buyer wants to envision
their family living in that house
and where their own pictures
might hang on walls. This is an
integral part of helping the buyer
paint their own picture.
7. Interior Lighting
When you take pictures indoors,
make sure the interior lighting is
adequate. A dim room may look
stuffy in a photograph.
You want to give potential clients
that warm and fuzzy feeling that
comes with either soft or natural
lighting.
8. Use a Professional Grade
Camera
These days many cell phones
have professional picture taking
ability. There’s nothing wrong
with using a cell phone if the
picture quality is adequate.
A real estate agent shouldn’t use
a phone that consistently takes
blurry or out of focus pictures.
You can ask another real estate
agent for advice or even consider
taking a photography class.

It’s important to remember that
a real estate photograph is the
first thing a potential customer
typically sees. Taking professional
pictures will increase your
chances of catching the eye of a
potential buyer.
