It's a dreary and drizzly day today after an amazing run on simply glorious days here in spectacular North Idaho. Seems like a good time to post a couple photos from my collection of horrible property photos. I actually came across a guy somewhere online who created a visual tour of bad photos. I think he used this as a listing tool, probably took a visual tour disc or played his tour for potential sellers to illustrate the importance of GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY to successfully market a property. What a brilliant idea! I have long used samples of my virtual tours to show potential sellers what a nice job I do. (http://www.visualtour.com/inventory.asp?u=69547) It never occurred to me to CONTRAST my great photos with those of the other variety. I am going to do just that from here on out ~ build a Visual Tour of BAD photography! A picture says a thousand words, I'll let these speak for themselves. Here are some more from my collection of bad photos:

Too funny. I have often been accused by other agents of making homes look too good! What should I do? Make them look lousy?
These are two really bad photos. Ok you take a bad photo you know it is bad. And you choose to use it anyway? Now that is the part I can never understand. I think some agents are just plain lazy!
In addition, sellers need to make sure their house looks its best before the photos are taken. Most buyers start their search online. If they don't like what they see posted on the MLS, they will not bother to look at it in person.
