Bad real estate photos taken by real estate agents are like a car accident… messy and horrific to look at, but you can’t look away. They are a great reminder as to why it is so important for real estate agents to always use a professional real estate photographer.
Bad real estate photos captured by real estate agents and home owners seem to have a common theme. They are usually poorly composed and show off the worst characteristics of a terribly decorated space. Images with ‘virtual furniture’ look like they’ve been put together by the office junior using clip art in Microsoft Word. They also somehow manage to capture themselves in the shots wearing very little clothing in some cases.
