The truth about bad real estate photos


Real estate photo NO-NOs:
  • ·         Burned out lightbulbs.
  • ·         Raised toilet seats.
  • ·         The photographer/agent reflected in the mirror.
  • ·         Magnets on the refrigerator. Especially magnets holding stuff.
  • ·         Non-neutral, bright colors like pink, orange, purple, and yes, even red (I know it was in at one point), ESPECIALLY in high gloss or slopped on the ceiling.
  • ·         Faux finish paint, and murals too.
  • ·         Taxidermy trophies. They are offensive to some, so better safe than sorry.
  • ·         Taste specific decorating (southwestern howling coyote statues, carved wooden bears, too many artificial plants, etc.). 
  • ·         Photos taken with a cell phone.
  • ·         Words or phrases scribed on the wall.
  • ·         Grease stains on your driveway.
  • ·         Dents in your front door and/or garage door.
  • ·         Open closet doors.
