PICTURE TIPS

Tips for shooting great real estate photos

Portray an honest representation of the home: This is the most important point. Don’t focus on the artistry of the image to the point that you sacrifice accuracy. Make sure every photo gives an accurate feel of the room and flow of the layout.

Take tons of photos: While we only need about 20 pictures from you, we encourage you send as many as possible. Our system will allow for multiple entries.

Capture photos at chest height: Great real estate photos make the viewer feel like they’re in the home, so chest-height photos give the most accurate perspective.

Use a wide-angle lens: A wide-angle lens helps capture the full feel of a room, while still making it appear true to its size.

Use landscape orientation: Horizontal orientation makes it easier to capture the full room, and it’s also the orientation used on the MLS and other real estate sites.

Take photos that highlight the layout: Buyers are interested in the layout of the home, and great photos can showcase both the flow of the room and the relationship of one room to the next

Leave doors open between rooms: Another way to give viewers insight into the layout is to leave doors open between rooms, so they can see how they all connect.

Avoid large objects in the foreground: An otherwise successful photo can be ruined by something big in the foreground, such as a bookshelf, couch, or other big piece of furniture. Keep spaces wide open for the most appealing images.

Take exterior photos at an angle: When taking a photo of the outside of the home, a photographer should be positioned at an angle, showcasing both the front façade of the house and the depth. An angled image gives a better feel for the size of a home.

Watch the position of the sun: When taking exterior photos, capture images when the sun is behind the camera but illuminating the front of the property. You’ll avoid shadows and the house will be perfectly lit.

Shoot interior photos when it’s brightest: To showcase your home’s natural light, schedule photos for mid-day.
