Bad Listing Photos Cost Sellers Money

Have you seen “BadListingPhoto” on Twitter? The entire reason this account exists is to make fun of the bad photos that some real estate agents post on twitter.

But this is really no laughing matter. Bad listing photos cost sellers money. Homes priced between $200,000 and $1 million sold for an average of $3,400 to $11,200 more than their list prices when professionally photographed than homes with amateur photos. For homes priced between $400,000 and $499,999, homes that have been professionally photographed sold for $11,200 more. Click here for more details.

When listing your home for sale, we take much better photos than the ones that I post here on this blog. One of the services that we provide our sellers free of charge is a hiring a professional photographer to come to your home and take photos like the ones you can see here.
