1) From Poor Presentation to Good Presentation

Today I’d like to address the issue of “poor presentation” in real estate photos. Back in my post titled “How and why I got into real estate photography” I mentioned five main negative issues I see regularly in real estate photos. Let me refresh your memory: 1) Poor presentation, 2) Bad perspective, 3) Less than adequate collection of photos, 4) Too many photos of a given space, and 5) Unrealistic representation due to photo manipulation.

The issue of “poor presentation” is a biggie. When you, as a real estate agent, post photos to your new listing, you MUST MUST MUST pay attention to the order in which you place your photos. No one wants to see a photo of the kitchen, then the powder room, then the kitchen, then the back yard, then the kitchen again. You don’t want to leave the potential buyer bewildered. How in the world are they suppose to get a feel for the home if they are bouncing all over the place? Quite simply, they won’t. Lost opportunity. You want to give the potential buyer a “tour” of the home. When I provide you photos for a listing, I pay close attention to the order. You want to give the buyer a feel for the floor plan or flow of the home. This allows them to get a feel of how they would function in the home.

When I deliver the photos to you, they will be in a tour-like order making it simple for you to post to the listing. You won’t have to think, I’ll do that part for you. Check out samples on my Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/mlfrep/photos_albums.
