PropertyPreviews users can continue to refine their skills by observing what professional photographers do and what amateur photographers should not do. For this reason, we continue to post samples of both bad and good real estate marketing photography. This week’s edition of VHT‘s The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly again dips into the state of property marketing finding both gems and disasters culled from active listings around the country.
Wall of Shame Sample
Wall of Shame Entry from this week
This is a $628,000 California listing. Kitchens sell homes, and buyers seeing this on the internet can’t help but say, “I gotta see this one,” right? Is it too much to ask the agent to use a tripod, stand straight, or use both hands to level out the camera? How about waiting until the person washing dishes is done and gone?

Wall of Fame Sample
Here’s what quality real estate photography looks like:

Let me know if you know any candidates for the Wall of Fame/Wall of Shame by posting in the comments!
Wow (for the wall of fame AND shame!)
Great pic of the Chicago condo. I wonder how many exposures were taken for the fluid foreground/background lighting balance.
I don’t think most St. Louis realtors or St. Louis photographers are at this level. I can’t wait for the amateur to try their hand at real estate video. There will be a lot of material for that wall of shame!
