Real estate photography matters

by Jim Duncan on January 5, 2007

Believe it or not, good photos help sell a house. I will be implementing many of these tips for my new listings.

These two photos below are from a pre-list appointment for a property in Charlottesville that will hit the market in the next few weeks.

If there is not a picture in the MLS, and there is not a compelling reason, your agent is doing you a disservice.

I discovered this same fact last year. One reason I switched digital cameras was because my previous camera couldn’t be fitted with a wide-angle lens. The wide-angle helps tremendously.

I got a wide angle lens camera just before Christmas, it’s amazing.
