The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly: Week 5

Every week we’ll be featuring the good, the bad, and the ugly of real estate photography.  Our ‘Wall of Shame’ features the bad (…and oh yes, the very ugly…) photos that some agents are using for their listings.  On the opposite end of the spectrum, our ‘Wall of Fame’ features some of the most stunning photography agents are currently using to market their listings.

Be sure to also check back next week for our Halloween Feature… we’ll be posting the top 10 scariest photos of the month!

WALL OF SHAME

Doing the dishes are important... getting a straight shot without capturing the seller is probably a little more important! This California home is listed for $628,000.

Now it’s your turn to sound off!  Leave a comment telling us which one of these (top, center, or bottom) you think is the worst and why.  We’ll tally up the votes and we’ll post the results of the worst ten photos of the month at the end of each month!

    My vote for Hall of Shame – Pic 3, seller doing dishes. Couldn’t stop laughing. Will be adding to my facebook and twitter page.

    Can’t wait for the Halloween Feature!
