Around my office everyone knows how much I LOVE this online tour that Norm Fisher put together of really bad real estate photos. It’s one of those things that when I am having a bad day or I just need a boost to lift my spirits I will watch it and be cracking up in no time. My day today is going fine but I’m always a little melancholy after returning from seeing my parents. It’s always good to see how my dad is improving every month but it’s also hard to leave him and mom behind as I come home to Seattle. If you could use a laugh today, check it out. And for any agents or sellers who are looking at this presentation, use it as a tool to understand what NOT to do when presenting photos of your home.
One of my other favorite photos that shows how to really edit what you’ll put online as a house photo is below. Take a moment to slowly peruse the content and you’ll see why it’s a bad shot… it takes the focus off of the house in a big way. When this real photo of a listing in California first showed up online it caused servers to crash at the listing link because it got passed around the internet so much.
