The 5 Worst MLS Photos I Have Seen This Year
Today I wanted to take some time to show you some of the phoniest MLS photos I have come across this year. These are perfect examples of ways you should not be marketing your home.- This heart-shaped bathtub is very romantic, but is it appealing to a wide base of buyers? Probably not. The Mickey Mouse rug in the background doesn't help to neutralize the home either. When you look at this photo do you see a nice bathroom, or do you focus on the goofy features? Avoid leading your buyers astray with distractions like this.
- The next photo is a very distorted hallway photo. I am not sure why the realtor would use this photo, but they did. The true dimensions of the hallway are distorted terribly, and it gives the potential buyer no idea of what the hallway might look like in real life. It looks like it could be a very nice hallway, but the fish-eye lens is doing it no justice. Make sure your buyers can see your property clearly.
- This 'selfie' photo of the agent and the shower head is puzzling. He seems to have missed the shower and gone straight to the shower head. This photo doesn't look very professional, and it also doesn't highlight a nice-looking shower.
- This photo with the dirty litter box in the shower is pretty bad, and I feel awfully sorry for the sellers. I'm not sure why anyone would ever post this photo on the MLS. For future reference - don't photograph litter boxes for MLS photos.
- The photo of this apartment or condo is actually very nice and appealing - until you look in the corner and see a 'Chucky' doll that is wielding a knife. In an otherwise great photo, this one creepy little detail absolutely ruined it. I don't know why they didn't remove the doll beforehand, because the condo looks very nice otherwise.
Hopefully some of these photos made you laugh, but I also hope they made you more aware of what a bad MLS photo looks like. At our office here in Jupiter, we use professional photographers and stagers so your photos never look like the ones I have shown you.
With 97% of buyers looking online, it is important for you to have the best photos possible to attract the most buyers towards your property.
